Department of Mathematics

Introduction

Department of Mathematics Profile [915 KB] Language : English

About the department: Mathematics is deeply rooted in all the sciences and has a leading role in all engineering streams. The Department of Mathematics came into existence way back in 1997 with the inception of the Faculty of Engineering and Technology on the main campus of the University. The department has been striving to provide quality technical education with core support to all engineering departments and provides research degrees in mathematics. The department is a good center for teaching, learning, and research, as many articles by faculty members have been published in Science Citation Indexed (SCI) and peer-reviewed journals. TThe department keeps pace with the advances in technology by providing basic knowledge to the students enrolled in the diploma, B.Tech., M. Tech., B.Sc./M.Sc., B. Pharm., MCA, MBA, and Ph.D. programs. The department usually provides some extra classes to the weaker students. The department adopts some modern teaching techniques to explain the mathematical concepts geometrically rather than through mathematical formulas/equations. The department has a highly qualified teaching faculty from reputed institutes/colleges like IIT Roorkee and MNNIT Allahabad, Prayagraj, University of Allahabad, Prayagraj, and TDPG College, Jaunpur.

The mission of the department is as follows:

To provide students (UG/PG) with an effective teaching application based on rigorous training/tutorials.
To create an environment that enhances greenery on campus.
Teachers’ efforts are to develop mathematical ideas and apply them to solve complex engineering problems, as well as design mathematical models to meet the requirements.
To encourage students and faculty members of the Department to be exposed to different research environments in India and abroad.

Educational Objectives of the Department

Using technology as a significant aid in mathematics learning.
To revisit the fundamental concepts and principles of the discipline and strengthen them.
To develop an interdisciplinary approach between the department and other disciplines.
To encourage collaborative learning through group activities, hands-on learning, and concretizing mathematical concepts.
To motivate and to support research and development.

Institution celebrates / organizes national and international commemorative days, events and festivals

The department put their own efforts into celebrating national science day (on the occasion of National Science day 28 Feb. 2017, 2018, 2029, 2020), Engineers Day and Mathematics Day in collaboration with other departments in commemorating these historical days.

Science Day Celebration

Science Day is celebrated in the Country commemorating the day of discovery the “RAMAN EFFECT” on Feb. 28, 1928. All through the years we have celebrated Science Day spanning over two days each year. With the TEQIP grant available in hand, Science Day is celebrated in the big way in the University. The event is celebrated with number of activities for the Students. Rangoli Competition, Science Quiz, Poster & amp; Extempore Competition on National Science Day and Science Exhibition on the same theme in which all of the Students participated.

The best performance in each activity is suitably awarded. Every year we bring a Souvenir. In addition experts talk on relevant subject is organised for the benefit and inspiration of students and teachers.

In 2018, Prof. Laxmi Narayan Hazra an emeritus Professor of Applied Optics; Photonics, University of Culcutta; Prof. V A Tabhaney, University of Pune and Dr. P K Mishra, former GM, ONGC, Dehradun gave experts talk in their Specialisation. In 2018 Science Day was celebrating in advance on 26 to 27 Feb. 2018.

In year 2019, all those events were again organised by Students and Souvenir was brought. Expert’s talks were delivered by Shri K N Pandey, DRDO Kanpur, Dr. V A Tabhaney and Dr. Kailash from Hamirpur.

In year 2020, a Celebration was again organised in which together with the activity for the Students, Experts talk were given by Prof. Hari Prakash and Prof. Ranjana Prakash both from the University of Allhabad, Allahabad.

Engineer’s Day Celebration

Engineer’s Day is celebrated on Spt. 15 every year in the Country to commemorating the birth of

Bharat Ratna Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya. We celebrate this day every year in the University for the Inspiration to build our engineers. All the events for Students are centred upon the theme of the Engineer’s day that year.

In 2018 Engineer’s Day was celebrated in which Students participated very enthusiastically.
