DEPARTMENT ACTIVITIES
Last year department has conducted ‘Hands on Training Program for UG Mathematics teachers of RCU’ on ‘Scilab & Maxima’. Department conduct the special lectures by eminent resource persons regularly. Department conducts student centric programs like inter-collegiate & inter-class Power Point Presentation Competitions, Model Making Competitions, every year. Also, department arrange to send students for various competitions like MTTS, seminars and research competitions. Department Library has rich collection of Reference books, e-books and Mathematical Models. It has reference books that are received from National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM). Department started a ‘Certificate course in Vedic Mathematics’ from the academic year 2021-22. Our Future Plan is to start PG course in Mathematics, Certificate course in Basics of Computers. Department is also planning to start interdisciplinary courses like Mathematical- Biology, Geo-Mathematics, Mathematical Finance.

RELIVANCE OF MATHEMATICS IN DAILY LIFE
- Mathematics is essential in the natural sciences, engineering, medicine, finances, computer sciences and the social sciences.
- Although Mathematics is extensively used for modeling phenomena, the fundamental truths of mathematics are independent from any scientific experiment.
- Mathematics provides an effective way of building mental discipline and encourages logical, reasoning and mental rigor. in addition, mathematical knowledge plays a crucial role in understanding the contents of other subjects such as science, social science, and even music and art.
- Mathematics has a remarkable ability to cross cultural boundaries and time periods.as a human activity, the practice of mathematics has a social side, which includes education, careers, recognition, popularization and so on.
IMPORTANCE OF MATHS LABS
- It gives an opportunity to the students to discover the subject through activities and situations which lays down firm foundation for more abstract thinking.
- It provides greater scope for individual participation in the process of learning.
- It allows and encourages the students to think about the problems, discuss and learn the concepts in more effective manner.
