AIM

The UG Programme in mathematics is designed to teach students how to think critically, logically, and
analytically, which enables them to employ mathematical reasoning in real-world situations. A UG degree
in mathematics will expose students to a variety of intriguing and practical concepts that will help them in
their preparation for a variety of mathematics-oriented jobs in industry, government, business, commerce,
finance and research.

The program covers broad range of topics on pure and applied mathematics. Also covers hands-on sessions
in Computer Lab using various software, MATLAB, Mathematica, C etc. which enables students to corelate
and compare with recent developments in various branches of mathematics in a variety of organisations
worldwide.

The programme aims to increase students' skill in maths as well as other cross-disciplinary subjects like
commerce, physics, computer sciences, economics, and statistics etc. By choosing papers from the
MDGEC, AEC, SEC, VAC, YOGA, EE, DTS, DSE, Community based engagement etc., they are able to
apply the skills they have learned to situations that happen in the real world. Also aims students' flexibility
to move from one discipline to another, to move one institution to another, to switch alternative modes of
learning.

Programme Learning Outcomes:

The Learning Outcomes of Undergraduate Programme in Mathematics are listed in the following.
After completing the programme the students will be able to-
i. Apply Mathematics as a tool to solve problems of other disciplines viz., Science and
Technology, Commerce and Management, Humanities, Soft-computing etc.
ii. Pursue higher studies in the subject to take part in the academic upliftment of the subject

estimations, and regression.
Teaching Learning Process:

The outcome-based approach demands a considerable transition from teacher centric to learner centric
pedagogies, as well as from passive to active/participatory pedagogies, especially in the context of
undergraduate study. This course promotes the systematic and sequential acquisition of knowledge and
skills. It also focuses on practical abilities, as well as an awareness of the link between theory and practice.
Teaching strategies involve discussions, presentations, use of required textbooks, e-learning tools, other
self-study materials; project, internship, exploring industrial needs and other research activities and so on.

Assessment Methods:

A variety of assessment procedures appropriate for the Mathematics discipline will be used to determine
how well students are progressing keeping in view of the course/program learning outcomes. Continuous
evaluation will decide the final grade which include both in-semester evaluation and the final exam. In-
semester evaluation will consist of class exams, mid-term exams, homework assignments, etc. as
determined by the concerned teacher of the course of study. The following techniques will be used to
evaluate how successfully students are meeting their goals: tutorials, timed exams, problem-based
assignments, lab reports for practical assignments, observations of practical skills, individual project
reports, team project reports, oral presentations, including seminar presentations, viva voce interviews,
group discussions, quiz and so on.
