The department, taking note of the
rapid growth in the application of mathematics in the
fields technology and research, has developed the syllabi
accordingly without losing the charm and need of pure
and basic mathematics. Subjects like Fractals and
Space Mechanics have been introduced in the curriculum,
way back in 1983 itself.. Also topics like theoretical
computer simulation, stochastic processes, microprocessors,
Data processing, system analysis, and algebraic topology
find place in the current syllabi. Periodic changes
are effected in the syllabi to meet the requirements
of CSIR, UGC completive examinations. Artificial Intelligence,
C++, Automota theory and Combinatorics ,Fuzzy sets have
been introduced as demanded by the requirements of institutions
of higher learning.
The Department has plans to introduce B.Sc students with specialization in Statistical Quality Control, Actuaries and Operation Research . and also plans to offer some certificate courses in some of the fascinating topics in Mathematics.
The Department conducts " Invited lectures" by eminent persons under autonomy grant. Seminars by students of senior classes are regularly conducted under "Sruthi Maths Club" .Students are encouraged to participate in competition in mathematical abilities, conducted by other sister institutions. The Department compiles the seminar topics and publishes them in "SRUTHI MATHS MAGAZINE" every year.
The Department has a very good collection of textbooks and reference books on advanced mathematics.
The gadgets like OHP and Slide projectors are used as teaching tools along with with mathematical models .The Department at present is served by 6 permanent teachers, and 4 temporary teachers.
