INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME
We all know that mathematical language helps us to describe many real-life events in the
universe to describe them and also to bring them to perfection. The scholars in the past realised the
power of mathematics as a tool to solve many critical problems faced in human life. The names like
Platon, Euclid, Pythagoras, Aryabhat are some of the creators often mentioned in the books of
history of mathematics. Indian philosophers in the past noted the role of mathematics in the field of
knowledge and described it as “Ganitam Murdhani Sthitam”. This strength of mathematics was realized
by the scholars over past successive centuries and they strengthened the mathematical knowledge
in several directions.
The wide-spread of mathematical knowledge, as we witness now, is broadly classified in three parts
namely:
1) Pure Mathematics,
2) Applicable Mathematics,
3) Applied Mathematics.
The part (1) consists of fundamental notions of mathematics in abstract form which originate by
intuition or by providing postulate systems and deriving conclusions, bringing the tool of mathematics
to the part (2) which in turn, broadly extends the scope of fundamental elements by including more
details and sharpening the area of knowledge by leading to the part (3). The mathematical tools
developed so far are then useful to analyse the real-life situations in the modeling problems. Such
models describe the complex situations in varied events those we meet, and provide, generally, ideal
and dependable solutions. In the campuses of Engineering colleges, we deal with area of knowledge
generally classified in part (2) and part (3) above.
One interesting point to be noted is that, the above-mentioned classification is not mutually exclusive
and this division works as a feedback system enriching the entire branch of mathematical discipline.
The proposed workshop intends to discuss emerging trends in models which are broadly based on
mathematical tools taught in engineering colleges which forms the requisite background to follow
them. One of the aim of this effort is to train our teachers to understand the role of mathematics in
engineering and technological sciences and finally convey the spirit of applications to the graduating
students. Such efforts ultimately result into interlacing the subject of mathematics with the education
in engineering sciences and to establish the fact that the two streams of knowledge are, indeed,
meant for each others growth.
As this year has been declared as the Year of Mathematics such events will help to sustain the spirit.
With this blossoming spirit of oneness, we may smoothly and creatively travel towards the global
view: ‘Mathematics – the cosmic eye of humanity’.

INSTITUTION
The GVP-Prof.V.Lakshmikantham Institute for Advanced Studies (GVP-LIAS) is the offspring
of Prof. V. Lakshmikantham’s vision for a research institute that encompasses a broad spectrum of
areas and the management’s initiative to support it. Prof. V Lakshmikantham’s generous financial
support gave impetus to the growth of the institution. Since its inception in 2007, about 60 research
papers in refereed journals and three research monographs are published. An international conference
on Recent Advances in Mathematical Sciences and Applications in 2009 was organized; where
in 15 international scientists from seven countries have participated. Two research projects one from
Department of Science and Technology and one from National Board of Higher Mathematics,
Department of Atomic Energy are being pursued.
Under the able guidance of Prof. S. G. Deo, Director of the institute, the institute expanded its
functions by organizing a training programme for faculty and students appearing for NET exam.
Further plans to organize workshops for math faculty at various levels (from school teachers to engineering
faculty) are under consideration.
The GVP College of Engineering(1996) established itself as a college of repute in the region.
It has a permanent affiliation to JNTUK and is an autonomous college. All branches are accredited to
NBA of AICTE, Accredited by NAAC with ‘A’ grade with a GPA of 3.47/4.00. Shortlisted to obtain
financial support to upgrade the PG education and research in the engineering departments under
TEQIP(Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme), phase II.
