M.Sc. in Mathematics(M.Sc.)

“The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics!”

Mathematical sciences work is becoming an increasingly integral and essential component of a growing array of areas of investigation in biology, medicine, social sciences, business, advanced design, climate, finance, advanced materials, and much more. This work involves the integration of mathematics, statistics, and computation in the broadest sense, and the interplay of these areas with areas of potential application; the mathematical sciences are best conceived of as including all these components. These activities are crucial to economic growth, national competitiveness, and national security.

Thus, mathematics is an essential part of the educational system of an advanced society. Indian society has embraced the knowledge economy and its economic growth rate is one of the highest in the world.

M.Sc. (Mathematics) at REVA University has been designed to meet the demands of the existing and future research establishments, industries and academic institutions. The programme is designed to produce graduates with higher-order critical, analytical, problem-solving and research skills. It also helps acquire the ability to think rigorously and independently to meet higher-level expectations of industries, research organisations and academic institutions.

The programme deals with Analysis, Algebra, Topology, Complex Analysis, Differential Equations, Discrete Mathematics, Mechanics and numerical analysis. Besides, greater emphasis is laid on methods of mathematics, fluid mechanics, mathematical modelling, graph theory, fuzzy logic, cryptography, operation research and mathematics of multimedia.

Course Description

Higher education across the globe is opening doors of its academic disciplines to real-world experiences. The disciplinary legitimacy is under critical review. Trans-border mobility and practice learning are being foregrounded as guiding principles. Interactive learning, bridging disciplines and facilitating learners to gain different competencies through judicious management of time are viewed as one of the greatest and most fascinating priorities and challenges today. The M.Sc. Mathematics is designed keeping in view the current situation and possible future developments, both at national and global levels.

This course is designed to give greater emphasis to research. There is an ample number of courses providing knowledge in specialized areas of Abstract Algebra, Linear Algebra, Real and Complex Analysis, Topology, Functional Analysis, Mathematical Statistics, Optimization, Computational Techniques, R-tools, and Python Program etc., facilitating students to choose specialised areas of their interest. Adequate attention is given to providing students with the basic concepts of analysis and modern computation techniques to be used and knowledge on the application of such concepts in the practical field. The project, being part of the curriculum, will certainly provide students with the experience of research and practical exposure to the working environment.

The L: T: P structure of teaching and learning under Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) and Continuous Assessment Grading Pattern (CAGP) would certainly help our students learn and build competencies needed in this knowledge-based society. This handy document contains brief information about M.Sc. Mathematics, scheme of instruction, course content, CBCS-CAGP regulations and their advantages and calendar of events for the year will serve as a guiding path for students to move forward in the right direction. It would mould them with knowledge, skill, and ethical values to face the challenges of this competitive world with greater confidence in becoming proud citizens.

What Makes the Programme Unique?

The programme acts as a foundation degree and helps to develop critical, analytical and problem-solving skills.

It ensures graduates are employable in scientific organisations and are capable of assuming administrative positions in various organisations.

Helps in the further acquisition of higher-level degrees to help graduates pursue a career in academics or scientific organisations as a researcher.
