About the Department
The Department of Mathematics came into existence purely as a service department when Dr.M.G.R. Engineering College was started in 1988 – affiliated to the University of Madras. It comes under the faculty of Humanities & Science. Subsequently in the year 2003, when the college was upgraded into a Deemed University by the UGC, the department of Mathematics was given an independent status and was granted the permission to conduct a two-year Post-Graduate Programme, M.Sc (Industrial Mathematics).
In the year 2011, we started the M.Phil programs in the following areas: (i) Operations Research (ii) Industrial Mathematics and (iii) Stochastic processes. We started the undergraduate program B.Sc Mathematics and M.Sc Mathematics programs in the year 2013 and 2016 respectively. The courses offered by the department are unique in its own way. All the courses were designed to cater the requirements of the various departments. For example, the Numerical methods course for Mechanical Engineers, Mathematical foundations for Computer Science, Special functions for Chemical Engineers etc. The department has done several level bridge courses (for I year B.Tech students) based on the demand and requirement. The department has conducted remedial classes too.
It is one of the departments that is pursuing in the direction of research. 25 % of the Faculty members are Ph.D. holders (From Anna University, IIT), 25% are pursuing their Ph.D. and 25% will be registering for Ph.D. in the next academic year positively. We are offering Ph.D programmes in several areas both in pure and applied Mathematics.
