Department of Mathematics

The Department of Mathematics is one of the largest units of Anna University with faculty strength of 35, catering to the needs of the Under-Graduate and Post-Graduate programmes in Science, Engineering and Technology. In 1975, the department started in 1975 an exclusive M.Sc. programme in Mathematics. In 1979, it introduced research programmes leading to M.Phil and Ph.D in Mathematics. Subsequently in 1993, it started M.Sc. Mathematics with Diversification in Computer Science, which was renamed as M.Sc. (Computer Science) in 1997. From the year 2001, Five-year Integrated M.Sc Programmes in Computer Science and Information Technology are being offered.

Courses Offered :

=> M.Sc. (Mathematics)
=> M.Sc. 5 years Integrated (Computer Science)
=> M.Sc. 5 years Integrated (Information Technology)
=> M.Phil. Mathematics
=> Ph.D. Mathematics

Facilities :

Computing Facilities :
The Department has two Computer Laboratories, one located in the Main building and the other in CPDE building of CEG Campus, from which Post–graduate students of Mathematics and Computer Science programmes, Research Scholars and Faculty members can access the computing facilities available within the department and University, as well as the Internet facility.

The main propose of these laboratories is to provide the required facilities for Postgraduate students for their laboratory courses and also for the Research Scholars and Faculty members to carry over the computational tasks related to their research work.

Library Facilities :
Department of Mathematics has its own libratory consisting of nearly 2000 books. These books include collection of prescribed textbooks for UG / PG level teaching and a collection of few advanced research level books / monographs.
The Department Library periodically receives books written by well-qualified research under the title of TRIM series (Text and reading in Mathematics) through National Board for Higher Mathematics.
Further, Department Library receives two periodicals “Mathematical Intelligences” (through NBHM) and “Computer express” regularly.

Seminar Hall :
The Department of Mathematics has a recently well constructed fully equipped Seminar hall in the name of Indian Mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. It is a completely air-conditioned hall with a wall mounted LCD Display Projector and amplified sound system, which can accommodate nearly 120 members.

Research Areas :

=> Topology
=> Analysis
=> Discrete Mathematics & Thermal Computer Science
=> Applied Probability and Stochastic Processes
=> Continuum Mechanics
