Department of Applied Sciences

About

The Department of Applied Sciences at The NorthCap University, offer undergraduate program in BSc (Hons) Mathematics. The program provides an educational opportunity in diverse fields of Mathematics. It offers is a systematic study of the concepts and theories of mathematics and their application in the real world. The program enhances career prospects in a huge array of fields by fostering a creative spirit to help students fulfill their potential, to become creative mathematician and to become successful in a wide range of professions where logical and analytical thinking is required. The program provides a thorough education in the core subjects of Mathematics, starting from Analysis, Linear Algebra, vector calculus and beyond. The curriculum of the program has been designed in such a way so that holistic development of the students could be carried out. The inclusion of the courses of liberal studies like; introduction to Psychology, Indian History and Constitution, fine arts etc. make the program versatile and unique. Apart from the core Mathematics and liberal study courses, the curriculum includes summer internships, MOOC Courses, effective communication courses, tinkering lab, general proficiency and a variety of program and open elective courses.  The course curriculum is aligned with the syllabus of higher education entrance exams like JAM, GATE, NET etc. so that after graduating students could join the renowned institutions like IIT’s and NIT’s for their master’s study. The curriculum also includes programming-based courses to equip the students with technical skills.
