The Department of Mathematics was founded in 1956 under the name Department of Applied Mathematics. It started with only an undergraduate program offered to engineering students. Nevertheless, mathematics plays a vital role in engineering, and it is clearly reflected in the fact that it conducts all the mathematics courses offered in different branches of engineering, management, pharmaceutical sciences, architecture, and the University Polytechnic. A gamut of very motivated, qualified, and talented faculty is actively engaged in teaching and research in pure and applied mathematics and technology.
