DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS
DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY

    The Department of Mathematics in KCD was started in the year 1918. Since its inception, the Department has produced many eminent mathematicians and personalities who have occupied high positions, both in India and abroad. The architect of KUD, Late Wrangler Dr. D. C. Pavate, Ex-VC of KUD and later the Governor of Punjab was a student of this Department. The Department of Mathematics has developed due to dedicated services of its eminent teachers. There is a study circle in the Department, named Ramanujan Study Circle. This provides a platform for students to show their innovative talents in mathematics. The Department is conducting a Mathematics Olympiad every year, in the month of November. The faculty members of the Department are engaged in research work, in addition to their teaching duties. Dr. Keerthi G. Mirajkar has successfully guided students for the Ph.D degree, as a recognized guide of the KUD.

    The faculty members of the Department of Mathematics are as follows. 1. Dr. J. B. Toranagatti, Associate Professor. 2. Dr. (Smt.) Keerthi G. Mirajkar, Associate Professor. 3. Dr. Parvatalu, Assistant Professor.

M.Sc. (Mathematics) Course at Karnatak Science College, Dharwad

The program of Masters (M.Sc.) in Mathematics has started in the year 2011. In the span of 10 years, the Post-Graduate (PG) Department of Mathematics has evolved and grown beyond its prospects. The main aim of the course is to produce post-graduate students with strong mathematics foundation to join research, industries as well as various jobs. The department has been trying to groom a large pool of best trained students as scientific manpower for quality doctoral programs and well educated individuals.

In the beginning, the students had shared class rooms and laboratory (computer) with undergraduate (B.Sc.) students. Later, the PG department has got its own full fledged computer lab with 35 systems and separate class rooms in the PG building of Karnatak Science College, Dharwad. Initially, the faculties of Mathematics from Karnatak University, Dharwad were engaging classes as well as monitoring the laboratory work. From the last two years, the University has appointed Teaching Assistants (TA), who took responsibilities in the smooth conduct of departmental academic activities. The University has appointed young, dedicated and highly qualified faculties. At present, three TAs are working in the department, who have completed their doctoral research from Karnatak University, Dharwad in various fields of Mathematics. These TAs have produced more than 35 research papers in the reputed international journals. The faculty’s teaching is oriented in preparing the students for research activities and NET/SLET examinations in mathematics. Students of this department have consistently performed well in all examinations and have successfully faced various academic challenges.
