A poet endowed with fame and religious merit, he is like the crest on a peacock. Bhaskaracharya is the most well known mathematician of ancient India today. He was also a great astronomer of his times. He is often described as a mathematician-astronomer of exceptional abilities. He composed his masterpiece Siddhanta-Siromani at the age of thirty-six in the year 1150 A.D.. Siddhanta-Siromani is divided into four parts; Lilavati (arithmetic), Bijaganita (algebra), Goladhyaya (celestial globe), and Grahaganita (mathematics of the planets). Bhaskaracharya has given simple methods to find the squares, square roots, cube, and cube roots of big numbers. He has proved the Pythagoras theorem and given an approximate value of PI as 22/7. He also wrote on the gravitational force in his book titled “Surya Siddhant”. He reached to an understanding of the number systems and solving equations that was not achieved in Europe for several centuries. In many ways Bhaskaracharya represents the peak of mathematical knowledge in the 12th century. 1 ABOUT THE COLLEGE Bhaskaracharya College of Applied Sciences, a prestigious college of the University of Delhi, is an institute of excellence in higher education in the specialized areas of applied sciences. Set up in 1995 and financed by the Government of NCT of Delhi, this college shifted to its new campus in Dwarka in 2002. The lush green huge building with a large open area for sports, state-of-the art laboratories, well stacked library and eco-friendly structure make it a congenial place for learning. Our students have invariably excelled in the university exams with positions of merit. The college provides comprehensive opportunities to its students to explore and attain the zenith of success in their respective fields. Activities that fall outside the realm of the usual curriculum plays a vital role in imbibing strong ethical values in the students and to transform them into ignited individuals and competitive professionals. With this perspective in mind, various clubs and societies are functional in the college. Beginning with a small number of science enthusiast students, the college now can boast of strength of more than 1000 students. It is because of the inquisitiveness and high aspirations of the students that the college has added many feathers to its colourful cap in academic as well as extra and co-curricular activities. Above all, it is the qualified and scholarly team of faculty members who form the models of inspiration for students. In fact, it is a dedicated team of students, faculty and staff who form the backbone of the institution and has taken the college to these heights. COURSES OFFERED IN B.Sc(H) in 1.

As various media would indicate that knowledge and application of Psychology and its principles is the need of hour. From academic performance to mob mentality and making sense of social fabric to understanding work behaviour, Psychology helps in unravelling the underlying issues and suggesting possible solutions. As the name suggests, it is a window to an inner world which enriches the experience of the outer world. With its very innovative and indigenous means of learning, it will help you evolve better as an individual, student, professional and of course a better human being too. The course curriculum would be taught with the help of lectures, group discussions, experiential exercises, group projects, presentations, workshops and seminars. This unique course structure would help not only in academic excellence but also prepare students for vocational expertise that will further enhance one’s employability. 25 MATHEMATICS 1. Dr.Ragini Jindal, Ph.D. (CCS University, Meerut) 2. Dr.Neeru Sharma, Ph.D.(D.U)(Teacher- In- Charge) Mathematics is one of the most fundamental and basic courses whose knowledge is indispensable in almost every field. It is a fundamental part of human thought and logic, and integral to attempts at understanding the world and ourselves. Mathematical knowledge plays a crucial role in understanding the other fields such as science, social sciences, and even music and art. On one hand many mathematicians pursue the subject for its sheer abstract beauty, at the applied end of the spectrum there are many mathematicians who work in various aspects of the subject such as theoretical sciences, financial mathematics or statistics, areas of acknowledged practical importance. Mathematical methods are integral to the study of any field of engineering. Physics; Computer Science, Electronics and Instrumentation engineering usually include courses in Calculus , Analysis, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra , Statistics and Probability. Understanding and competence in applying these fundamental mathematical tools is essential to do serious study in these fields. Progress in biomedical research increasingly requires mathematical and computational approaches. Scientists experienced at working at the interface of biology, mathematics and computation are greatly needed in this field. Polymer science has provided us with a diverse host of new materials, thereby enhancing technological advancement. The theoretical description of the properties of polymers has involved the use of a wide range of mathematical sciences techniques. The role of mathematics in food technology and microbiology is also immense. As an example, food processes, problems related to bacterial growth in food and other areas of predictive microbiology are studied using mathematical modeling techniques. Industry managers, engineers, and scientists require a personal repertory of mathematical tools to find solutions to a variety of work problems. These problems relate to processing, research, analysis, and other operations that require mathematical solutions. 26 THE LIBRARY The College Library was set up in 1995 with the mission to cater to the information needs of the students and the faculty.
