The Department of Mathematics at SRM IST, Vadapalani Campus, organised a two-days Faculty Development Program on "MATLAB for Calculus and Linear Algebra" to honour the birth anniversary of SrinivasaRamanujan, an Indian mathematician. The program, leads by Dr.Balamurugan B J and Dr.BandaruMallikarjuna, covered fundamental topics such as MATLAB basics, matrix operations, solving differential equations, definite integrals, Riemann sums, curve and surface plotting, visualisation techniques using the ezplot function, and the determination of maxima and minima for a single-variable function.
It was officially kickstarted by a welcome address by Dr. C. Rajesh, the Head of Department of Mathematics and the Agenda of the FDP was explained by our Faculty Coordinator, Dr. S. Thalapathiraj. Our Dean FET, Dr. C. V. Jayakumar graced us with his presence.
The participants proactively involved in installing MATLAB, guided by Dr.Mallikarjuna, ensuring effective use of the software. The event attracted 105 attendees, including students, research scholars, and faculty members from various educational institutions across India. The diverse backgrounds and perspectives of the participants added richness to the discussions and activities.
The Faculty Development Program was a success, with enthusiastic engagement and comprehensive coverage of MATLAB applications in calculus and linear algebra. By the end of the workshop, participants had acquired valuable insights into MATLAB's powerful tools for mathematical analysis. The event was meticulously organised by SRM IST VDP, the Department of Mathematics, and The Matrix Club, with Dr. S. Thalapathiraj playing a pivotal role in ensuring the smooth execution of the program.
The program not only celebrated National Mathematics Day but also served as a platform for knowledge exchange and skill enhancement, leaving a lasting impact on participants and fostering a sense of enthusiasm for mathematical exploration and application.
