Welcome to the Department of Mathematics
Welcome to the webpage of the Department of Mathematics, Sardar Patel University. This department was established in 1958. We have a legacy of having distinguished mathematicians of national and international fame.
Our department is involved in all three aspects of a higher seat of learning namely, Teaching, Research and Extension, thereby we are linked with our people and our society. Holistic approach encompassing Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Applicable Mathematics is reflected in our curriculum as well as in our research efforts. There is a vital balance between Algebra, Geometry, Analysis, Computational Mathematics and Applications of Mathematics. Our syllabus is as per UGC guidelines, compatible with UGC-CSIR NET, within the framework of Choice Based Credit System (CBCS).
Specially designed courses provide opportunity to the students to get equipped with the skills of the interest. A course on Problems and Exercise in Mathematics is meant to train the students for their problem solving abilities, an essential tool in research in mathematics; and also this course helps a student for clearing NET/SLET and other technical examinations. More than 150 students have qualified in such examinations so far.
This department is well recognized by peers. Our library is recognized as the NBHM Regional Library of Mathematics for Western Region. This is a national facility created by National Board for Higher Mathematics, Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India. The department has received funding from UGC under UGC-SAP-DRS (three phases completed) and BSR grants. Our department has also received grants under DST-FIST.
We annually organize a week-long Workshop on Problem Solving for the students of Gujarat. Such workshops are intended to train students of mathematics in problem solving which is an essential tool for research in mathematics.
Our department is instrumental in many mathematical talent search tests conducted in Gujarat. This department is a centre for NBHM MA/M.Sc. Scholarship Test and Ph.D. Scholarship Test. Our faculty members are involved in the preparation of textbooks of school (Gujarat State Textbook Board) and college level (Sardar Patel University).
In the sections provided in this page you will find all information about the department in detail.
