About the Department
The Department of Mathematics is one of the leading departments of Shaheed Bhagat Singh College. Since its inception in 1967, the department has been engaged in quality teaching and research, committed to providing higher education in Mathematics. It has a highly qualified, dedicated, and research-oriented faculty with expertise in diverse fields of mathematics. Currently, the department offers an undergraduate programme, namely B.Sc (Hons) Mathematics. It also offers courses to the B.A. Programme as Major/Minor options. These courses, designed by the University of Delhi, not only impart theoretical knowledge but also provide hands-on experience and conceptual clarity through practical classes using software such as Mathematica, R, LaTeX, etc. The department has an exclusive computer lab and access to the state-of-the-art college library, which houses an extensive collection of books on Mathematics.
The department believes in the holistic development of students. In line with this vision, the Mathematics Society of the college organizes its annual festival, GANITAM, based on vibrant mathematical themes. This platform allows students to express their creative talents. Various inter-college competitions, such as paper presentations and quizzes, are organized during this festival. Additionally, the department hosts seminars and talks, often led by faculty members, alumni, and experts from reputed research institutes like the IITs, to enhance students’ knowledge and keep them updated on the latest trends in the subject. The department also organizes national and international conferences to provide global exposure to both students and faculty. Alumni of the department are well-placed in reputed organizations both in India and abroad.
