About Us | Who we are and what we do

The inter-disciplinary department of Mathematics (Mathematics, Statistics, & Computer Science) was set up in the year 2007 to give students an opportunity to study mathematics in association with the more employment-friendly fields of statistics and computer science.

Some key statistics for the Department of Mathematics (Mathematics, Statistics, & Computer Science):

1

courses

we offer 1 UG course of 3 years in B.Sc Mathematics, Statistics & Computer Science

5

faculty

with a cumulative experience of 100 years

140

students

hand-picked for their exceptional intellect

200

alumni

most of whom concoct new algorithms

Admissions to our B.Sc Mathematics course happens through the common Loyola admissions route.
Highlights | What makes us different

The department aims at providing students with a course that is as specialized as it is general, allowing them access to a plethora of study and work opportunities after graduation. Here are a few things that we do differently:

  • 01 Mathematics Lab

    The specialized mathematics laboratory contains 60 computers equipped with latest computing and learning aids like Mathematica, Matlab, etc, along with a variety of statistical software.

  • 02 Math 'Zine

    Math 'Zine is a venture by our students to inculcate an interest in mathematics amongst the students of the Academy.

  • 03 Corporate Projects

    Students are required to undertake major projects in all three fields during their final year. They work under approved public and private enterprises, in areas such as statistical analysis, mathematical group theory, and computer languages.

Our excellent infrastructure - the mathematics labs, a library sponsored by the National Board of Higher Mathematics, and internet labs – is as immersive as it is impressive. Drop by for a visit.
