Department of Mathematics started functioning as a separate department in YIMS from June 2017 onwards . From 2015 onwards, there were three faculties for taking Mathematics and Statistics courses offered in other programmes but was working under the Department of Computer Science. Department of Mathematics had its first batch admitted on June 2017 with 24 students and the department functioned with 5 faculties. In the year 2018 a second batch came with 23 students. In 2019-20 academic year, University permitted marginal increase and so the third batch was admitted with 29 students. In the same year, two more faculty posts were added. Now the department is furnished with well qualified faculties including two statistics faculties. The first outgoing batch of this department consisting of 23 students completed their programme in March 2020.
B.Sc. Mathematics programme offered in this college has Statistics and Computer Science as complementary courses. The department also offers complementary Mathematics including Linear Programming, Discrete Mathematics and Statistics courses for other disciples like Computer Science, Physics, Geography, Psychology and Hotel Management.
If you choose to pursue a B.Sc. in Mathematics, there will be a lot many options that you will be able to select. You can be a Mathematician, Chartered Accountant, Data Analyst, Programmer, Researcher, Teacher etc. The Government organizations like ISRO, DRDO, NAL, DST, IITs, IISc etc. are offering great job opportunities to students with good academic background in mathematics. Besides many private industries like IT Companies, Banks and Insurance, Biotechnology companies etc. are looking for persons who are skilled in mathematics.
Transform the students being capable of mathematical thinking in all their aspects of life especially in getting jobs where knowledge of Mathematics is an inevitable part.
