Professor & HOD
The Department of Mathematics established in the year 1986 and currently headed by Prof. Dr.S.K Uma. Over the years the department has evolved into a team of nine well qualified, experienced faculty members comprising two doctorate holders and three pursuing Ph.D. programme. As a result of its continuous, sincere and result oriented efforts as a team, the department has been witnessing excellent results consistently and every year a good number of students are scoring cent percent. The Department of Mathematics is mainly involved in teaching activities for UG / PG Programmes. Faculty members are actively engaged in research work and have published more than 40 papers in various National/ International conferences and refereed journals and also authored various textbooks on Engineering Mathematics and Indian mathematics and astronomy. The Department of Mathematics is a recognized VTU Research Centre for the Ph.D. programme.
