About Mathematics

"Mathematics is the most beautiful and most powerful creation of the human spirit"

~Stefan Banach

The word mathematics comes from the Greek μάθημα (máthēma), which in the ancient Greek language means "that which is learnt", "what one gets to know", and in modern Greek just "lesson".The earliest uses of mathematics were in trading, land measurement, painting and weaving patterns and the recording of time. Aristotle defined mathematics as "the science of quantity", and this definition prevailed until the 18th century. From the start of the 19th century the study of mathematics increased in rigor and diverted into many direction such as abstract, computational etc. C. F. Gauss (1777-1855) referred to mathematics as “The queen of all sciences”.
Now-a-days, mathematics is essential in many fields, including natural science, engineering, medicine, finance and the social sciences. Applied mathematics has led to entirely new mathematical disciplines, such as statistics and game theory. Mathematicians also engage pure mathematics or mathematics for its own sake, without having any application in mind.
Students of Mathematics under the Pure & Applied Science Department are very much meritorious, talented and hard working. They are disciplined and polite to the teachers. Students are curious to know the subject deeply. Their questioning mind helps them to develop the ideas of mathematics. At the end of their courses most of them are given special care under the observance of the faculty members to appear in the national level competitive exams like JAM, NET, SET etc. The students get the opportunity of attending seminars and invited lectures addressed by eminent mathematicians, faculty members from different Universities, professors from other institutes and speakers from other areas of interest. The students of this department themselves arrange some presentation classes to deliver lectures on their chosen topics. It helps them to understand topic clearly.

About Physics

"All science is either physics or stamp collecting"

We encourage our students to present their work in conferences and to publish their work in journals. We do give much emphasis to presentation skills and train students to appear for National Level Exams like GATE and NET. Our PG programme is running with renowned professors as well as famous guest teachers who come from different colleges to share their huge knowledge with the students.

About Chemistry

"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed"

~C.G. Jung

Welcome to the Chemistry Subject under Pure & Applied Science Department at the Midnapore City College. Chemistry is one of the premier science departments of the College with a dedicated and dynamic group of teachers who are not only keen in imparting quality education to the students but are also actively engaged in research with subsequent publications in reputed scientific journals. The faculty members are eager to encourage the students for taking up research as their career and over the past ten years a large group of students, after graduating from the college, have studied in IIT/ IISc/ IISER and are now in research both in India and abroad. The faculty members are also actively involved in research and are publishing quality papers in reputed scientific journals quite regularly, using the instrumental facilities in the Central Research Unit developed by Midnapore City College.
The Department has taken a big leap forward to introduce as a part of its curricular activity 'Instrumental Method of Analysis' and 'Computer Programming with application in Chemistry' in order that the UG students can make use of the instrumental facilities at the Central Research Unit and the computation facilities of the college. In an effort to motivate the students and expose them to contemporary research, the department organizes a National level Symposium every year, where renowned scientists from different parts of India participate and deliver scientific lectures. In addition, 'beyond curricular' classrooms lectures are also organized and the students get an opportunity to interact with the eminent scientists.

About Geography

"GIS is waking up the world to the power of geography, this science of integration, and has the framework for creating a better future"

~Jack Dangermond

The Geography under Pure & Applied Science Department of Midnapore City College was established in 2007. It was started with a B.Sc. & M.Sc. Degree courses with a sanctioned strength of 60 each (UG & PG) students by understanding the current nature of Geography and the importance of the subject in scientifically analyzing the spatial patterns of various phenomena, the University has changed the subject from the Faculty of Arts to the Faculty of Science in 2017.Now the department is a full fledged with 4 faculty members who have specialized in various branches of geography.
The Department now offers B.Sc. and M.Sc. courses in Geography. The B.Sc. and M.Sc. syllabus of this department are on par with the UGC syllabus and offers moderns tools and techniques.
The department has a well-equipped Cartography and GIS (Geographic Information System) Laboratory. This includes Survey of India. There are number of survey equipment like chain, plane table, dumpy levels, clinometers, prismatic compasses etc. The GIS lab has 10 PCs with latest configurations with peripherals like laser printers, scanners and an internet connection. The Department acquired modern tools like Digital Plan meter, Mirror Stereoscopes, Digital Handycam, Hand held GPS receivers, Digital Satellite data of IRS 1A, IRS 1B, IRS 1C, IRS 1D and LANDSAT satellites. The GIS and Digital Image Processing software procured by the department include INTERGRAPH and ERDAS IMAGINE in addition to free and open source software like QGIS. The students are trained to use these instruments and software as part of their curriculum. Department recently procured a laptop computer and a LCD projector which are effectively used for class room teaching.

About Bachelor of Computer Applications

"Computer Application is a science of abstraction -creating the right model for a problem and devising the appropriate mechanizable techniques to solve it"

~Alfred Aho

The term computer is derived from the Latin term ‘computare’, this means to calculate or programmable machine. Computer cannot do anything without a Program.
The aim of the bachelor course is to teach specific skills for the application of computer science in selected application areas. In addition to basic skills in the design of information processing systems, sound knowledge in one area of application of computer science plays a central role.
The course “Computer Science in Applications” emphasizes the engineering constructive character of computer science which is essential for the creation of software systems. Students are taught specific skills from the area of application which are necessary for the creation and application of software systems from the area. This course focuses more on computer science as an engineering discipline. Students choose an area of application which is the focus of their degree at an early stage. In this area of application students are taught further specific computer science skills.

About Computer Science

"People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite, just many people doing things that build on each other, like a wall of mini stones."

~Donald Knuth

Since 2017 the Department of Computer Science has offered a computer science degree which lays emphasis on possible areas of application for computer science.
Computer science, the study of computers and computing, including their theoretical and algorithmic foundations, hardware and software, and their uses for processing information. The discipline of computer science includes the study of algorithms and data structures, computer and network design, modelling data and information processes, and artificial intelligence. Computer science spans theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation, and information theory) to practical disciplines (including the design and implementation of hardware and software).
Computer science is generally considered an area of academic research and distinct from computer programming. The fundamental concern of computer science is determining what can and cannot be automated.
