COURSE OVERVIEW  
Mathematics is the language of science and engineering. The mathematical areas such as Differential geometry, Lie groups, Differential equation, Discrete mathematics, Homotopy theory, Graph theory, which were once considered as abstract, now been applied to all and advanced areas of research such as Robotics, Computer vision, Control theory, Fluid dynamics, Image processing, Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, Finance and Economics etc. Keeping this views in mind the present short term course has been designed to give a mathematical introduction of such areas of current research in Engineering and science, so that the Mathematics and Physics faculties of the Engineering colleges and newly inducted faculties of Engineering departments who love to venture in to new areas of research and learn the mathematical intricacies of all applied phenomena, will benefit a lot.
FOCUSED AREAS
The broad outline of the course is as follows:
Differential geometry and Lie groups applied to Robotics
New methods for solving differential equation in Fluid dynamics
Mathematics of Cryptography and Number theory
Computer vision and Projective geometry
Mathematical control theory
Mathematics of image processing
Financial computing
VENUE
The Course will be organized at the Department of Mathematics, National Institute of Technology (NIT), Rourkela. The NIT, Rourkela was founded as the Regional Engineering College, Rourkela on 15/08/1961. The Institute was declared as National Institute of Technology with Deemed to be University status on 26th June 2002 and Institute of National Importance on 15th August 2007 by act of Parliament. It is a prestigious institute with a reputation for excellence at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The Mathematics department offer instructions in general and engineering mathematics to the undergraduate students of all branches and M.Sc. courses. Research programs in the department include cutting edge areas such as Differential Geometry, Homotopy theory, Lie groups, Lie algebras, Number theory, Fluid dyanamics, Numerical methods. En route Howrah – Mumbai main line of South Eastern Railway, Rourkela is well connected by railway service network with the rest of India, and also by inters and intra – state bus services. Rourkela railway station is approximately 6 km from NIT Campus.
