Brief History
The Department of Mathematics came into existence with the opening of Science Stream in P.N. College. Since then it has been continuing as an integral division under the school of Physical Sciences. At the beginning stage in 1971 the Department had only two faculty members whereas at present there are six. A good number of them are holding Ph.D degrees and guiding the students in various fields. The Department provides teaching to under graduate students of Physical & Biological Sciences. At the time of need, faculty members impart education to BBA & Comp. Sc. Students. As a whole the Department works as a bridge between regional schools & higher level institutions for propagating the essence of Mathematics. The mission of the Department is to enhance mathematical skill of the pupil and to optimize the sphere of its application through proper coaching and mentoring. This Department plays key role in organizing Math. Exhibitions, Olympiads, Seminars etc. in the college premises. Mathematics Department strives hard to emerge as a hub of Mathematical Sciences.
