OBJECTIVE OF THE WORKSHOP:

IMPORTANCE AND RELEVANCE :

Shivaji University, established in 1962, is named after the Great Maratha Warrior and founder of the Maratha empire Chhatrapati Shivaji. It was inaugurated on 18th November, 1962 by Dr. Radhakrishnan, the then President of India. One of the major objectives behind foundation of this University was to cater to the regional needs of South Maharashtra Education. The jurisdiction of the University is spread over three districts viz. Kolhapur, Sangli and Satara.

The Department of Mathematics was established in the year 1964. Department has two Professors and eight Assistant Professors. The department has always updated itself and changed the thrust areas of teaching and research over the years in keeping with the UGC, CSIR guidelines. The Department has its own library, having 4000 books, funded by NBHM. The Department offers M.Sc., M.Sc. Tech.(Mathematics), M. Phil. and Ph. D. Courses.

The objective of this workshop is to systematically expose the students and faculties of mathematics to the basic understanding of algebra and its applications and also to reach the students all across the country and provide them with a platform to explore the opportunities in Algebra and related fields of study and research.

Algebra is often described as the language of Mathematics. Because of its generality, algebra is used in many fields of mathematics and science. For instance, algebraic topology uses algebraic objects to study topologies. Algebraic Number Theory studies various number rings that generalize the set of integers. In Network Security, various cryptosystems are based on algebraic structures such as cyclic groups and finite fields. Linear Algebra is used in a lattice-based cryptosystems. In physics, groups are used to represent symmetry operations, and the usage

of group theory could simplify differential equations.

Students, Research scholars and Faculties familiar in the area of Algebra are preferred.

Local hospitality including stay, meal, book and stationary will be provided to participants.
