Mathematics

Mathematics is the backbone of all the sciences as the knowledge of Mathematics is essentially required to learn every branch of Science, Engineering and Technology. It gives various tools which are applied in analyzing and solving the scientific and technological problems. In recent years some topics like Mathematical Modeling, Advanced Numerical Methods, Discrete Mathematics, Graph Theory, Information Theory and Computational Mathematics have become indispensable because of their applicability.

The department offers mathematics courses on above mentioned topics in addition to basic courses.  The aim of mathematics teaching is not only to make the students proficient in mathematical concepts and computational skills, but also to develop an aptitude for logical reasoning, analytical ability and precision. Apart from teaching mathematics courses research activities are also pursued by the faculty in the areas of Information Theory, Neural Networks, Survival Analysis and Industrial Mathematics.

At present the Department has two Research Scholars for Ph D., while one has recently been awarded Ph.D. degree under the supervision of Prof. D.S.Hooda. There are five faculty members; Two Professors, One senior Lecturer, One Lecturer, One Associate Lecturer. In addition to teaching, faculty is engaged in research activities in the following areas and has published about 31 papers in various journals of National and International repute during last five years: “Information Theory and Its Application, Coding Theory, Fuzzy sets and logic with applications, Mathematical Programming, Convex analysis, Variation Problems, Optimal Control, Numerical Analysis, Differential Equations, Singular Perturbation Boundary Value Problems, Mathematical Modeling, Time series forecasting.”

Areas of Specialization: 

Information measures, source coding, entropy optimization principles and their applications in statistics, finance mathematics, survival analysis, and bounds on probabilities of error, pattern recognition and fuzzy information.
