Message from the HOD
The importance of Mathematics is due to its increasing demand in the new developments in science and technology. In the present days digital system has become an integral part of our daily life. Beyond Mathematics, one can’t comprehend the concepts in Engineering Sciences, Physics, Computer Science, Management sciences, Social sciences etc. The department offered both Major (Honours) and Non-Major (Non-Honours) programs in B. A. and B.Sc Course. Our faculty members are committed to high standards of conceptual teaching of the subject.
