Established in 1970, the Himachal Pradesh University provides high quality education and equip students with awareness to address National and International challenges. Within a span of 51 years of its existence, the University has achieved astounding success and continue to forge its future with new program initiatives.

The Department of Mathematics & Statistics is one of the oldest Department in the University. Since its inception, in the year 1970, the Department is known for its excellence in teaching and research. It is one of the few Departments in the University to get assistance under UGC-SAP(DRS-I) from 2009-14 and UGC-SAP(DRS-II) from 2015-20.

The Department is continuously supported by National Board of Higher Mathematics (Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India) through library grant and is having a stock of more than 3000 text/reference books. It is a matter of great pride to share that some of the faculty members are doing collaborative research with institutes of national importance like Indian Statistical Institute. These institutes provide fellowships and funds to meet out the expenses related to travel, boarding and lodging.

The Department has fully equipped computer laboratory where the students have facility to work on Mathematica, MATLAB and Latex etc.

The Centre for Indian Mathematics has been established in the Department to promote Vedic Mathematical Studies and generate awareness among the younger generations about contributions of Great Indian Mathematicians in various fields of Mathematics. This centre offers two programs namely Certificate Course in Vedic Mathematics and Post Graduate Diploma in Ancient Indian Mathematics.

The Department of Mathematics is in tune with the changing world and has well-furnished classrooms having LCD projectors and interactive boards. The faculty members are dedicating themselves to quality research, welcome new approaches in teaching and integrate ICT.

I strongly hope that the Department continues to contribute to the development of a value- based and a responsible society.

I wish the Department, a bright future ahead.
