DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS
The Department of Mathematics was established in MVJCE in Bangalore in the year 1982 with the objective of imparting quality education in the field of Mathematics. Since Mathematics is the back bone of Science, Engineering and Technology. The department tries hard to develop the students in the fundamental concepts of mathematics to shine in their respective fields of engineering. The Department of Mathematics also has expertise in various fields of Applied Mathematics which has enabled them to teach several subjects pertaining to mathematics and its applications like Graph Theory, Discrete Mathematics for Under Graduate Courses and Numerical Methods, Advanced Mathematics, Optimization Techniques, Applied Mathematics and Probability and Random Process for Post Graduate Courses.
VISION OF THE DEPARTMENT
Department of Mathematics strives to be recognized for academic excellence through the depth of its teaching and research. It will distinguish itself as a regional leader in higher education for teaching. The department strives to earn regional recognition for its expertise in the field of Mathematics and the teaching of Mathematics. We will be a source for the promotion of problem solving, analytical thinking and utilizing technology.
