Mission

The Department of Mathematics was established in the session 1962-63. Since then, the mission of the department is to provide an environment where students can learn and grow using the component of mathematics and mathematical application. Moreover, the department will contribute to the development of students as mathematical thinkers, enabling them to become lifelong learners, to continue to grow in their chosen professions, and to function as productive global citizens.

At present the department conducts the following courses:

• B.Sc. Mathematics (Honours)
• B.Sc. Mathematics (General Electives)
• B.Sc. Mathematics (Programme)

The goal of these courses is to equip all of our students with the conceptual understanding, computational skills, and persistent disposition required to use quantitative reasoning and analysis effectively in their personal and professional lives. For mathematics honours students, we aim to provide stimulating mathematical experiences that will bolster their future careers, whether that be the application of mathematics in practical contexts or contributions to the mathematical profession through teaching, productive scholarship and active participation in professional organizations.

We also aim to promote and sustain:

• an environment that fosters creativity, critical thought, enquiry, and active learning.
• equity, inclusion, and diversity amongst our staff, faculty, and students, aiming to increase participation from groups that are historically underrepresented in Mathematics.
• the continued growth of faculty as both teachers and scholars of mathematics with active programs of research and professional involvement.
• opportunities for close interaction between students and faculty, both within and beyond the classroom, including student mentoring and research opportunities.

In fulfilling this mission, the department creates an environment where the faculty can continue to grow as teachers and scholars, while providing public and professional service. We want to emerge Department of Mathematics as a national center of learning, academic excellence, and innovative research.

Vision

The Department of Mathematics offers a broad and challenging academic program that supports the mission of Srikrishna College. We aim to provide high-quality education to our students so that they can be self-reliant. We want to

• improve the quality of mathematical education and achieve high standard of excellence in Mathematics.
• Develop the student’s ability to intelligently communicate mathematical results academically and professionally.
• provide perfect academic environment so that students can learn & analyse the corelation between mathematics and other subjects.
• Maintain integrity, improve leadership quality among students.

Values

• Intellectual value: We value to develop intellectual powers like imagination, concentration, memorization, observation, creativity, invention, reasoning, originality etc.
• Disciplinary value: “Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.” -Albert Einstein We value mathematical knowledge as logical, exact, real and to the point.
• Aesthetic Value: We value aesthetic values of mathematics such as beauty in method, beauty in outcomes, beauty in experience, beauty in mathematical theory, beauty in mathematics & arts.
• Social value: We value tolerance, honesty, open mindness, truthfulness, cooperation, willpower & objectivity.
• Cultural value: Mathematics is the mirror of civilization. We value cultural diversity that has been obtained over a long period of time through teaching, interacting with students who represent diversity of our society.
