The Department of Mathematical Sciences began its journey as a section to assist engineering departments of the institute which, in the true sense, pioneered engineering education in the Indian Nation. It soon acquired the status of a full-fledged department in 1985.Its importance lies in the fact that it caters to the needs of the undergraduate as well as post-graduate students of the Institute. In addition, the department runs its own 5 year Integrated Dual Degree course in Mathematics & Computing. The department aims to give emphasis to research in analysis, algebra, topology, mathematical transforms, number theory and several areas of pure and applied mathematics. See more.
