Teaching - Learning

The faculty members of the Department of Mathematics employ a variety of teaching tools and methods to enhance the effectiveness of the teaching-learning process. They leverage software applications like MATLAB, Mathematica, R, and HTML to support visualization and better conceptual understanding among students.

In addition to regular lectures, tutorial classes are scheduled for every subject, providing students with dedicated time to discuss subject-related problems and queries with their teachers. To ensure personalized attention and efficient problem-solving, each class is divided into small tutorial groups.

The department emphasizes continuous assessment of students through regular class tests, presentations, assignments, and viva-voce examinations. These assessments not only help in evaluating students' progress but also encourage them to stay actively engaged with the course material.

By incorporating diverse teaching aids, interactive tutorials, and regular assessments, the faculty members of the Department of Mathematics strive to create an engaging and effective learning environment for their students.
