   Department of Mathematics

Dr. V.Indumathi, Head
(head.mat@pondiuni.edu.in)

The Department was established in 1986 and it aims to train students who are oriented towards research and teaching in advanced areas of Mathematics.The National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM) gives an annual grant of about Rs.6 lakhs for procuring books and journals for the library.

Programmes of Study

M.Sc. Mathematics
M.Sc. Five year Integrated Mathematics
M.Phil. Mathematics (Full-time)
Ph.D. Mathematics (Full-time, Part-time (Internal & External))

Course Pattern

A candidate of M.Sc. programme should take 12 hard core courses and a minimum of 6 soft core courses. A candidate of M.Phil. programme has to take 2 hard core courses and a minimum of 4 soft core courses and carry out a dissertation work.

Entrance Examination

The question paper for admission to M.Sc. Mathematics will comprise of 100 objective type questions at the B.Sc. level. A majority of questions will be on the following topics: classical algebra, sets, sequences, series, theory of equations, limits, continuity, differential calculus, integral calculus, ordinary differential equations, trigonometry, analytical geometry of 2D, conics, analytical geometry of 3D, real analysis, complex variable, modern algebra, group theory, rings and fields, vector spaces, matrices, determinants, linear transformations, rank, nullity, eigenvalues of linear transformations, vector calculus, statics, dynamics and elementary probability.

For admission to M.Phil./Ph.D., there will be 100 questions of objective type at the M.Sc. level. A majority of questions will be drawn from algebra, linear algebra, real analysis, Lebesgue measure theory, complex analysis, functional analysis, topology, differential equations, differential geometry, analytical dynamics, graph theory, discrete mathematics, number theory, fluid mechanics and basic probability.

The NET/JRF qualified candidates with fellowships will be given direct admission to Ph.D. programmes. All others (including non-fellowship NET and GATE qualified candidates) will have to appear for the entrance examination.

Unselected candidates in the merit list for admission to M.Sc. Mathematics will be considered for admission to M.Sc. Statistics, if they so desire.

Infrastructure Facilities

The Department has a separate building, a seminar hall with modern audio-video facilities, well-equipped computer laboratory and a library. Various mathematical softwares are also available. The department participates in the Special Coaching for Weaker Sections for UGC-CSIR NET and All India Services Examinations

Placements

The Placement Officer of the University organizes campus interviews every year for the M.Phil./ M.Sc.(Integrated) students.
