The Department of Mathematics, JMC was establishedin 1987. The Department has remained a landmark of excellence ever since. The Department has highly qualified faculty with specialization in various fields like Functional Analysis, Mathematical Programming, Harmonic Analysis, Algebra, Operation Research, Statistics, Topology, Operator Theory, Invariant Subspaces with application to Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence, Fluid Queues, Soft Computing Techniques, Optimization, Fuzzy Theory, Chaos Synchronization, Nonlinear Dynamical Systems.

The Department offers B.Sc.(Hons) in Mathematics and Generic Elective courses to students of anotherDepartment as well. Along with this, the department faculty also teaches students of Department of Elementary Education.

The course focuses on helping students to become intellectually sound, disciplined and more focused. The department believes in the holistic development of a student. In view of this, along with classroom teaching, Department organises various events like interactive sessions which are chaired by Department faculty and experts from esteemed institutes like TIFR, CMI, IIT, University of Delhi, ISI etc

Students are given ‘hands-on’ training of Softwares such as MATLAB, LaTeX, R and HTML etc through practicals. The course also grooms them to become more effective in the careers they opt for, be it academics, research,actuarial sciences, data analysis, operations analysis, Artificial Intelligence, investment sciences, bankingetc.

Many of our students pursue their further studies in prestigious institutes like IIT, ISI, London School of Economics and other Foreign Universities, University of Delhi, Chennai Mathematical Institute to name a few.

Department Activities

MATHARENA, the annual festof department fest is a huge success with student participation from all colleges of DelhiUniversity.

In 2019, the Guest of Honour for the day was Mr. Bhanu Prakash J.N, the fastest human calculator with 3 world records and 50 Limca records. Mr. BhanuPrakash took up a short session on “A Mathematical Love Story” and the session was enjoyed by a huge crowd. This was followed by the commencement of the Committee Simulation cum Debate competition which addressed the issue of syllabi-based learning in Mathematics, this was followed by the ultimate Mathematics quiz “Get Set Solve” and simultaneous Movie Screening of “The Theory of Everything”. The fest also included several games put up by the students like Kill Deal, Code Breaking, Geometry Symmetry, etc.

In 2020, The day commenced with the lighting of the lamp by the Chief Guest Dr. Asha Mathur, Former Associate Professor of Lady Shri Ram College and our then principal Sr. Dr. Rosily as well as the teachers of the department. The main event of the day was the Paper Presentation Competition titled “Mathematics and it's Applications” and indeed the audience witnessed some spectacular presentations. There were also several game stalls and the event concluded with the fun yet tricky Mathematical Tambola.

The Departmentorganises intercollege paper presentation competition on the topic “Application of Mathematics across diverse fields”

The Department, initiated a series of webinars for the students to connect with their Alumni and learn about the recent trends in career opportunities. These webinars were chaired by our esteemed Alumni and eminent speakers

Also, the Department organised a talk on the topic "Rings of continuous functions" by Dr Sanghita Dutta, Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematics at North Eastern Hill University, Shillong.

Students of the MathematicsDepartment released the first edition of newsletter, Algorithm in 2019. Despite the pandemic situation, students have put in a lot of effort for the biannual newsletter of the Department of Mathematics, Algorithm, released its editions for the academic year 2020-21 in November 2020 and June 2021, with the themes ‘Fasten Your Seat Belts’ and ‘Technology’s Memoir’ respectively. The Editorial Board- led by the Core Team, namely, Gayatri Chhabra (II year), Himani Arora (II year), Rimjhim Singh (III year), Shruti Kedia (II year), Soumya Negi (III year) and Suruchi Beck (III year)- passionately worked to take their readers on an invigorating journey by using the power of pens and brushes. The fervent spirit of the students provided an array of articles in both the editions, ranging from rib-tickling pieces to informative writings, from mind-boggling puzzles to thought-provoking facts, from startling columns to illuminating strategies.The team also organised an event for the release of Algorithm 4.0 to increase the reach and readership of the newsletter. A series of competitions were held, based on technology, on Dare2Compete, wherein students from all over India participated in huge numbers with utmost zeal and enthusiasm.
