Profile of the School
The nucleus of the present School of Mathematics was the post graduate centre of the Madras University started at Madurai in the year 1958 with Professor M. Venkataraman in charge of the Department. Even before Madurai Kamaraj University was Started in 1966, Inter- Collegiate Lectures and a Summer School in Mathematics were Conducted by the department. A large number of research students have been working in the department ever since it was started and many of them are now in important positions in various universities of the world.
Since its very inception the department expanded rapidly. Prof. M.H Stone was an honorary professor of our department. Several distinguished Mathematics have visited our school to give lectures. In fact th M.Phil Program was introduced for the first time in our country in the year 1967 by our department. This has helped quite a large number of college teachers to keep abreast with the modern developments in the subject. The research contributions of the School of Mathematics have been well recognized in our country and abroad.
