About us
The Department of Mathematics is one of the largest units of Anna University with faculty strength of 70 to cater the needs of the Under-Graduate and Post-Graduate programmes in Science, Engineering and Technology. The Department has been started in the year 1975 with M.Sc. programme in Mathematics. In 1979, research programmes were started which are leading to M.Phil, and Ph.D. in Mathematics. Subsequently in the year 1993, it has started M.Sc. Mathematics with Diversification in Computer Science, which was renamed as M.Sc. (Computer Science) in 1997. From the academic year 2001, Five-year Integrated M.Sc Programmes in Computer Science and Information Technology are being offered. These two programmes are successfully offering by the Department of Mathematics and most of the students are placed in IT companies across the world.

The Department of Mathematics is recognized as DST - FIST sponsored Department in Anna University. The Department of Mathematics has been sanctioned Rs.52 Lakhs for five years by the Department Science and Technology from 21.05.2014
The objectives of the department
  • To provide strong mathematical foundation, analytical and computational skills and abstract understanding to young post graduate Mathematics students which enable them to handle any industrial and research problems.
  • To promote high quality research in pure and applied Mathematics in the diversified areas thereby creating opportunities for the young researchers to contribute significantly in the frontier areas of Mathematics.
  • To provide good ambience for the faculty members to enhance interdisciplinary and advanced research through effective collaborations across the globe.
  • To enhance the computational facilities to suit the needs of faculty members and research scholars working on research areas such as CFD, Applied Probability & Statistics, Complex Analysis & Fuzzy Logic and Graph Algorithm.
  • To provide basic and advanced skills to students in Computer Science & Information Technology enabling self-reliance and excellence in capabilities.
  • To enable students to play vital roles in the fields of Computer Science and Mathematics at the local level and to remain globally competitive.
  • To create computer software and mathematical modeling to cater to the growing needs of Industries/Research establishments.
  • To undertake significant research projects individually and in collaboration with other Departments / Institutions / Industries.
  • To popularize and project in proper perspective the scope of Mathematics and Computer Science so as to attract young talents to take up teaching and research career in Computer and Mathematical Sciences.
