DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS
Galileo averred that the great book of Nature is written in the language of Mathematics. This has been the perception of Mathematics in the academia both in the East and the West all these years. However, the articles written by Professor C.I Raju in the Hindu exhorting us to decolonize Mathematics education in the country set us all thinking. Professor Raju set the dialectical ball rolling on the tussle between Metaphysics and Empiricism and since reading those articles we have started reflecting on the issue of Mathematics education. Whatever may be the debate it is arguably true that today mathematics underpins all branches of knowledge. We in S.S.K.V college recognize the value of mathematics and as such we try to motivate our students to love Mathematics and to understand the aesthetics of Mathematics. Our Mathematics Association, “ Mathematica” organizes every year events and we try to get the best Mathematics faculty around either to inaugurate the association or to give talks on Mathematics. We have an MOU with SCSVMV University, Enathur,Kanchipuram.
Our students fare well in the University examinations with several of them scoring centum in several papers. Faculty whose average age is 30, know that we have miles to go before we can leap. Our priorities are first to clear NET and then make the department vie with the best for a place with them.
