• Program Learning Objective (PLO) of the department:

 

The main objective of this subject is to cultivate a mathematical aptitude and nurture the interests of the students towards problem solving aptitude. Further, it aims at motivating the young minds for research in mathematical sciences and to train computational scientists who can work on real life challenging problems. Moreover, here is the following major program learning objective (PLO) of the department:

§  Develop the ability to think critically, logically, and analytically and to use mathematical reasoning in everyday life.

§  Create deep interest in learning mathematics.

§  Communicate mathematics effectively by written, computational and graphic means.

§  Develop broad and balanced knowledge and understanding of definitions, concepts, principles, and theorems.

§  The program covers the full range of mathematics from Classical Calculus to modern Number Theory. Thus, it provides learners sufficient knowledge and skills to enable them undertake further studies in mathematics and its allied areas on multiple disciplines.

§  Pursuing a degree in mathematics introduces the students to a number of interesting and useful ideas and helps them prepare for job exams in the field of education, research, government sector, business sector and industry.

 

Also, students majoring in Mathematics attain proficiency in

Critical thinking: The ability to identify, reflect upon, evaluate, integrate, and apply different types of in- formation and knowledge to form independent judgments. Analytical and logical thinking and the habit of drawing conclusions based on quantitative information.

 

Problem solving: The ability to assess and interpret complex situations, choose among several potentially appropriate mathematical methods of solution, persist in the face of difficulty, and present full and cogent solutions that include appropriate justification for their reasoning.

 

Effective communication: The ability to communicate and interact effectively with different audiences, developing their ability to collaborate intellectually and creatively in diverse contexts, and to appreciate ambiguity and nuance, while emphasizing the importance of clarity and precision in communication and reasoning.

 

• Program Outcomes (PO) of the department:
