The University Department of Mathematics was started in the year 1963 under the Headship of Professor Shrikhande, an eminent mathematician of India. In the subse- quent year, the Department was recognized as the Centre of Advanced Study in Math- ematics by the University Grants Commission. The Department continued as the Centre of Advanced Study for the complete term of 25 years up to 1999. The broad areas of specialization of the faculty are Algebra, Analysis, Combina- torics, Geometry, Number Theory, Differential Equations and Fluid Dynamics. The Department conducts courses for a two year post-graduation M.A./M.Sc. in Mathe- matics. Also, the department offers M. Phil. by research and Ph. D. programme.
