Activities
of the Department |
The
teachers in the department played an important role
in restructuring the UG and PG syllabi of the M G
University. The syllabi of the PG and UG programs
in Mathematics of the M G University were restructured
in two workshops organized by the department in the
college.
During
the last five years the department organized 3 three-day
national seminars, 3 state-level one-day seminars
and one five-day workshop. The proceedings of two
national seminars have been brought out. Yet another
three-day UGC sponsored national seminar is planned
to be held during Feb 24 – 26, 2005. A one-day workshop
on ‘How to teach Mathematics more effectively’ was
conducted for schoolteachers.
Utmost
importance is being given to impart the subject in
its depth with emphasis on the foundations. Teachers
use LCD & OHP and other ICT enabled methods of
teaching besides the usual lecture method.
Under
the auspices of the Mathematics Association and the
MCA Association, the students organize various extra
curricular activities. They take part in inter collegiate
competitions and other games of mental and verbal
skills, which contribute to the holistic development
of the individual. The students bring out a manuscript
magazine every year. As an innovative activity, crossword
puzzles in Mathematics are being formulated. The Mathematics
Association conducted an inter school quiz competition
on December 4, 2004. The students are also made aware
of the various problems facing the society at large.
Community extension activities are also arranged.
A Regional Seminar on Rain Water Harvesting was conducted
on November 27, 2004. Members from Educational Institutions
of the District facing water shortage and members
the neighbouring Block/Grama Panchayats and the students
of the department participated. “Edit – 2003”, a
three-day technical extravaganza was held in association
with the Computer Society of India, Cochin Chapter,
by the students of MCA.. Exhibition by leading software
firms in Cochin, quiz competitions for schools and
colleges, Software project presentations, Face-to-Face
etc. were the major items.
The
Department produced the first Ph.D. in Mathematics
from a research centre in an affiliated college of
the M.G. University. There are 12 research scholars
doing research in the department. Two members of the
present staff - one member (retd) and another from
a neighbouring college serve as research guides in
the department. Eleven research papers have been published
during the last five years. The thrust areas of research
include Fuzzy Mathematics, Fuzzy Economics, Graph
Theory, Statistical Computation and Bayesian Inference,
History of Mathematics and Stochastic Process.
The
Old Students and Friends of the Department have instituted
20 scholarships worth Rs. 22, 900.00. The scholarships
are awarded every year on merit at entry level, merit
at University and College examinations and on merit
cum need basis. Special financial aid of full/ half
fee concessions is offered to the students of economically
backward classes with good academic record. The semester
topper of the MCA university examinations is awarded
fee waiver scholarship for the succeeding semester.
The
Department has 76 computers (with two full fledged
computer labs), 3 overhead projectors, one LCD projector,
7 printers including one laser printer and an audio
system with amplifier, speakers, cordless and collar
microphone etc.
| (
c ) The plan of action of
the department for the next five years |
| 1 |
The
Department aims at becoming a nationally recognized
Centre of Excellence in the field of Mathematical
Sciences |
| 2 |
To
develop the Research Centre and to establish networking
with other renowned research institutes and to
pursue collaborative research activities |
| 3 |
In
addition to preparing students committed to academic
excellence, it also aims at providing curricular
and extra curricular opportunities, which contribute
to the social awareness and social responsibility |
| 4 |
To
develop the Department library into a digital
library. |
| 5 |
To
develop the Placement Cell of the Department. |
| 6 |
To
hold regular coaching for UGC NET and other competitive
examinations. |
