Department of Applied Mathematics With Oceanology and Computer Programming

The department of Applied Mathematics with Oceanology and Computer Programming was founded in 1985 and has since been striving for excellence. During this short span, the department has made a mark in the areas of both teaching and research. Several subjects of current importance like computer programming, fuzzy mathematics, computational fluid dynamics etc. are part of its curriculum.

Keeping in mind the industrial growth of the region and the importance of the atmospheric change and ocean studies, the department has given priority to the teaching and research in the fields of Operations Research, Meteorology, Theoretical Computer Science, Fluid Dynamics and Information Theory. In spite of the limited facilities of computation, books and journals, fellowships and scholarships, the research performance of the department is highly encouraging. A good number of papers have been published in reputed national and international journals. Several NET / GATE qualified scholars and teacher-fellows have so far worked in the department. Several students have already obtained Ph.D. and some others are working for Ph.D. in the department.

At the same time, the students of this department have been doing well in national and state-level tests like NET, GATE, SLET, etc. Furthermore, it is the department that initially took initiative in creating computer awareness in this region by organizing workshops and orientation courses on computer programming for school and college teachers. For few years, it was a resource centre for the CLASS project of the NCERT.
