Department of Mathematics

Department of Mathematics has a long and distinguished academic history and has played an important role in the development of higher education in mathematics at the college.

According to the available archival records, teaching of Mathematics at the undergraduate level began in 1951. The first teacher of the department was Late Shri Rajnarayan Lal, who laid the foundation for the department’s academic activities.

A significant milestone was achieved in the academic session 1957–58, when postgraduate teaching in Mathematics was introduced. Dr. Brajbasi Lal served as Professor and Head of the Department until the end of 1971. During his tenure, the department witnessed considerable and multifaceted growth. Initially, the department had only three sanctioned teaching posts, including the Head, but its strength gradually increased, reaching five teachers by 1970. The Department of Mathematics is a distinguished centre of teaching, learning, and research, committed to the pursuit, advancement, and dissemination of mathematical knowledge. The department comprises a team of qualified, experienced, and dedicated faculty members who are actively engaged in teaching, research, academic innovation, and interdisciplinary collaboration. The department undertakes research in diverse areas of pure and applied mathematics. Emerging areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Computational Mathematics, and mathematical applications in science and technology are also encouraged. Through quality teaching, innovative research, and academic collaboration, the Department of Mathematics seeks to nurture critical and analytical thinking, promote interdisciplinary research, and contribute meaningfully to the advancement of mathematics and its applications in contemporary scientific and technological domains.
