WELCOME TO THE RESEARCH DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS

OVERVIEW

Little Flower College started in 1955 under Madras University with an Intermediate Two year course. The Mathematics Department started in 1956 with the introduction of Pre University under Kerala University. Rev.Sr.Jane Francis was the first Mathematics faculty member. In March 1957 the college was raised to a first grade one and three year B.Sc Mathematics started with statistics as one of the subsidiary subjects. In the beginning, the number of seats was thirty. With time, the number has been raised to sixty. Rev.Sr Jane Francis was the first head of the department. In 1998 the Post Graduate course started as a self-financing course and was regularized in 2010 by Govt. of Kerala. In 2023, our Department was raised to a Research department by the University of Calicut. Our department is blessed with eminent faculty and hardworking students who produce remarkable results in the University examinations. Almost all of our students are employed in different areas. In 2007, we celebrated the Golden Jubilee of our department with various programmes. We keep a good company with our old students. An old student's Association for Mathematics (OSAM) is formed in connection with the Jubilee celebration. Most often we arrange International & National Seminars, Intercollegiate Quiz competitions, Exhibition etc. Our students find time to extend their service to poor people in the locality.

BEST PRACTICES

The Department of Mathematics has been conducting a “Mathematics exhibition” open to our College students of all disciplines to improve their understanding and to add a fun element in the learning process. Our students consider the exhibition to be useful as it fosters their Science and Technology attitudes. We strongly believe that even this short informal learning intervention through small visualizations, puzzles and shapes, affects their Science and Technology attitudes and educational plans.
