Initially started in 1967-68, as Allied paper to support the then – PUC(pre-university class). Mathematics as a Major degree was started in 1970, under the dynamic headship of Dr.C.P.Parvathy, Ph.D, who steered the department to dazzling heights in a short span of time, with the department proclaiming itself to be the only one to offer maximum number of allied courses, for Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science and Statistics simultaneously. Success was proved again subsequently, through the establishment of the degree programme under self financing category in 1991. The department in the self-stream is temporarily suspended in the academic year 2023-2024. Emergence of a post graduate programme was initiated and was started in 2004. The odyssey of the department of mathematics continues awaiting to scale new peaks.
