DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS
ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
Life is a math equation. In order to gain the most, you have to know how to convert negatives into positives.
With the very establishment of the Mohammadian Anglo Oriental College on January 08, 1877, at Aligarh, Mathematics was recognized as an important discipline, and the necessity to appoint a Professor in the subject was strongly felt.
One of the earliest mathematicians associated with the Department was Dr. Sir Ziauddin Ahmad who, along with Professor Chakravarti founded the first group of teachers and research workers whose main interests were in astronomy, History of Mathematics and Theory of Functions. They carried out many innovations in teaching and research. A society called M.A.O College Mathematics Society was formed with Dr. ZIauddin Ahmad as its President and Mr. A. M. Kureishy as its Secretary. The Society has been continuing its activities and is now known as Aligarh Mathematical Society.
