About The Department

“Mathematics is the most beautiful and most powerful creation of the human spirit”-Stefan Banach.

Sitananda College department of mathematics is one of the oldest department. The department has started with the BA(Pass) course with two teachers from the beginning of the in 1960 with the affiliation no. 0/149/161-affl. Dated 19 July 1960 and later pass course has upgraded to Honours course vide memo. C/2600/Affl.119. dated 7th June 1965. At present the department is enriched with three full time teachers and six SACT teachers.

The broad range of mathematical disciplines we Cover Pure and Applied Mathematics, Theoretical Physics and Computational Sciences.

The department is deeply involved in teaching and research. By means of publishing quality research articles, conducting seminars, delivering lectures in seminars as resource person etc.

Why study in this department?

If you know a language you can communicate. Similarly, if you know mathematics you can listens the speech of nature. The beauty of nature is bounded by the rules mathematics. Thus, to enjoy this beauty you need to understand the rules mathematics. Mathematics is the gateway of placement in current scenario. Studying in this department helps you develop analytical and logical thinking skills, which are useful in many areas of life and work. We provide an open space, friendly environment for the students in this department.

Seminars & Workshop

Department of Mathematics organized one day online seminar on 30th April 2021 on Google meet at 11am to 2pm with help of the Internal Assurance Cell (IQAC) Sitananda College, Nandigram. The webinar was titled as “One Day State Level Webinar on Some Area of Advanced Mathematics in Undergraduate Level”. This Program was started with an Inaugural cum Welcome Address by Dr. Samu Mahali, Chief Parton and Principal of this college. There were two eminent Professors cum academician present in this webinar. First Dr. Seema Sarkar (Mondal), Professor of Department of Mathematics, NIT Durgapur had delivered her lecture on Numerical analysis. She had been nicely presented and built a nice concept of numerical analysis and its application for undergraduate student. The second invited person was from Department of Mathematics, Jadavpur University, Dr. Subenoy Chakraborty. He had delivered the idea on General theory of relativity and completed his lecture with the concept of Black hole. There were approximately 100 participants attained in this webinar. The next slot of the webinar after the two consecutive lectures was the Q/A session. Participants asked there quires and doubts to the experts. At the end of the season, HOD of Department of Mathematics gave the vote of thanks. Participants were very much enriched through this seminar.
