Department of Mathematical Sciences

The Department of Mathematical Sciences is established in 1991 under the guidance of well known mathematician and Hon'ble Ex Vice-Chancellor Prof. N. K. Thakare. In 1996 it is renamed as the School of Mathematical Sciences including the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Statistics. The School is spacious and has 1255.83 Sq.m. of built up area. Prof. Dr. R. L. Shinde is heading the Department of Statistics and is the Director, School of Mathematical Sciences.The Department of Mathematics offered the course of M. Sc. Mathematics (with specialization in Computational Mathematics), whereas the Department of Statistics offered the course of M. Sc. Statistics (with specialization in Industrial Statistics). During the two years of M. Sc. Mathematics, students learn the pure and applied mathematics. Also, they learn the use of mathematical softwares, programming language C for computations and numerical solutions. Whereas in the course of M. Sc. Statistics they learn the statistics courses which are more useful for quality control, marketing strategy for the Industry, Banking and Insurance field.

In 2007, we have started a one year post graduate diploma in Actuarial Science (PGDAS) and major components covered by this course are: Financial and Actuarial Mathematics and Statistics, Finance and Financial reporting, Statistical Models and Methods. Also with effect from academic year 2010-11 we are introducing Five year integrated dual course B.Sc.+ M.Sc.(Actuarial Science).
