How is mathematics at SVNIT?

I graduated from SVNIT some years back. During my time, the faculty and teaching methods for Math were not up to the mark. 

I personally love Mathematics, which is why I opted for CSE. The time spent in studying Math at SVNIT made me realize that the teaching methodology was not good at all. During this time, I failed to learn any good Mathematical principles and applications. 

The lecturers provided very few examples and cookie cutter solutions instead of explaining why an idea works and where it can be applied. The teachers expect students to mug-up theorems. Fourier Analysis is not given ample time, even though it is the crux of all modern technology and data analysis techniques. 

The exams can be easily cleared by learning all the solutions from certain books, instead of using one’s conceptual knowledge and math skills. I would recommend you go through B. S. Grewal. It helped me understand important concepts like ODEs and the Taylor Expansion. Math-III is totally focused on three theorems, and learning the derivations of each one of them. 

I do not know the current state of the Mathematics department at SVNIT, but back in my days, the faculty did not try at all to improve the students’ concept building. Thus, if you are really passionate about Math, the department might disappoint you.
