The Department of Mathematics was established in 2009 to investigate interdisciplinary research and export high-quality education in the emerging areas of mathematical science. Faculty members of the department are active in several research areas, including pure and applied mathematics, probability and statistics, and theoretical computer science. The department has offered PhD programs since 2010, an MSc program from 2015, and a BTech in Math & Computing from 2019. Through summer internship programs, the department attracts students and faculty members from other institutes for short-term research projects. The department is also seeking post-doctoral fellows for independent research at IIT Ropar.
