The Department of Mathematics has around 72 faculty members and promotes novel perspectives to research with focus that transcends the undergraduate and postgraduate levels in Data Science. All faculty members are doctorates and are actively in research activities in addition to their regular teaching activities. The Department is offering B.Sc-M.SC Dual Degree in Data Science with exit option and M.SC Data Science. The department is instrumental in setting stochastic standards and contributes holistically in developing young engineers and scientists. The department strives to explore new and emerging transdisciplinary knowledge domains such as Fluid Dynamics, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Solid Mechanics, Functional Theory, Network and Graph Theory, Fractal Theory, Lie Algebras, Statistics, Stochastic Processes, Coding Theory, Theory of Computation, Fuzzy Logics, Optimal Control Problems, Numerical Methods, and Cosmology. The Department has already organised several conferences and workshops.

The School of Advanced Sciences (SAS) is one of the seven Schools of VIT-AP University and it houses the Departments of Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. The students are taught how to think critically through project-based learning (PBL) and not merely what to think. Students are encouraged to question, explore, and research throughout their studies, ranging across the various discipline of sciences. The school aims at providing a solid foundation in natural Sciences, projecting the recent scientific and technological developments to the graduate, postgraduate, and PhD students.

With a history of 32 years of innovation in the educational and research domain, VIT has been a forerunner in delivering quality education. Consistently ranked among the top educational institutes in the country, the VIT group of institutions have had a proud tradition of pursuing knowledge and excellence. The VIT-AP campus located 15 kms from Vijayawada city, is poised to become one of the country’s best campuses.
