About the Department

The origin of the Under Graduate department can be traced back to 1894. Many eminent mathematicians like Professor KaliprasannaDasgupta, Professor Shyamadas Mukherjee and Professor Prabodh Chandra Gupta have served the department.The college was affiliated to the Intermediate Arts course in mathematics in 1915-1916 and for B.A. general course in 1921-1922. In 1923 the college became affiliated to the intermediate science course as well. The department received the affiliation in Honours course in 1923-24.

The Post Graduate Department of Mathematics at Bethune College, Kolkata started in 2007. Eminent scholars like Professor M. K. Sen, Professor ShobhakarGanguly, Late Professor Jyoti Das and Late Professor SomeshBagchi extended their hands of cooperation to the PG Department in its formative stage. Presently 12 teachers are engaged in the Department in different capacities, including full-time teachers and distinguished retired professors from Calcutta University, Jadavpur University, Burdwan University, North Bengal University and Indian Statistical Institute.

The Department offers a two-year four-semester MSc, degree (CBCS) course affiliated to the Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Calcutta. The Department admits 16 students through the centralized admission process of the University. The Department is well-equipped with mathematical-computational laboratories and modern tools including smart classroom-cum-gallery for organizing seminars and interactive sessions.
