Department of Mathematics:
Academic Focus:
The study of mathematics is quite
important both, at the basic level and in its applied form. It is believed that
basic science such as mathematical science can be thought as the bread you eat
for breakfast, and technology as the butter you spread over it. You can't depend
solely on butter without having bread.
Wherever you go, whether it is economics or consultancy or computer science,
mathematics is necessary for the execution of plans. In industry too, in order
to compute inventory lapses, mathematical sciences play a very important role.
