The Department of Mathematics is one of the oldest Departments of the College. The Mathematics Department aspires to be recognized for its excellence, Valuable and expert resource to the College and maintains a good record of service from its inception in 1962. In 1966, B.Sc Mathematics was introduced under the affiliation of Madurai Kamaraj University. When the Institution was upgraded into a first grade College, 24 students had enrolled and now the strength has reached its pinnacle. Switching over to the past in memorylane, we remember with gratitude the following eminent personalities in our Vineyard.

Department of Mathematics

1. Prof. V.Durairaj M.Sc.,B.T.- (First Head of the Department)

2. Prof.N.Rajakrishnan M.Sc., (1968 to 1976)

3. Prof.A.S.Franklin Theodore Jeyasingh M.Sc.,M.Phil., (1968 to 2004)

4. Prof.S.Nelsonraj M.Sc., (1968 to 2003)

5. Prof.S.Jeyasingh M.Sc.,M.Phil., (1969 to 2004)

6. Prof.A.Evangeline M.Sc.,M.Phil., M.Ed ( 1981 to 2013)

7. Prof. P.Alayamani M.Sc.,M.Phil.,M.Ed., P.G.D.C.A (1988 to 2016)

At present, the Department is under the leadership of Dr. S.Thilaga Leelavathi with 4 permanent faculty members. Our faculty members have specialized in various areas of Algebra, Topology, and Graph Theory.

The Department was elevated into a Postgraduate Department in the year 2006. Department Library functions for the benefit of the staff and students. We have computers in our Department with free internet facilities for the usage of staff and students.

          The first generation learners contribute immensely to the Department. We encourage them to take part in Association activities and to exhibit their keen mathematical Skill. Their involvement nourishes their personality traits and improves corporate fellowship. They eagerly attend on campus and off campus seminars, workshops, quiz etc. Social and moral values are instilled in students through extension activities.

          “Maxo – Quiz,” a “rolling trophy cum cash prize-Quiz programme” for High School students is conducted every year to create and spread interest in Mathematics and general knowledge.

          The year 2012 is a golden year, for it marks the Golden Jubilee of the College and Department of Mathematics as well. We are proud to see our alumni, shining like stars in the galaxy, holding high positions in various domains- Education, Banking, I.T, Business, Religion and Government both in India and abroad.

We give honour and glory to God who has been guiding through his abiding presence in every milestone
