 Inception and Growth
Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan’s Vivekananda College for Commerce and Science was instituted on the 2nd of August 1993. The Department of Mathematics started at the time of the inception of the college with one lecturer and two undergraduate courses (Maths-Physics-Electronics and Maths-Physics-Computer Science). Statistics was introduced in 1994 with one lecturer and one undergraduate course (Maths-Statistics-Computer Science).
After 13 glorious years and the 14th year running, the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, which started with an intake of 60 students, has expanded to an annual intake of 270 students. Now the department has a strength of about 600 students.
The Department offers four undergraduate courses with the following combinations: Mathematics-Electronics-Computer Science (M.E.CS), Mathematics-Statistics-Computer Science (M.S.CS), Mathematics-Physics-Computer Science (M.P.CS), and Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry (M.P.C).
The Department Staff has grown from one faculty in 1993 to nine experienced and highly qualified members presently. Lecturers of our department teach not only the physical science groups, but are also with allied faculties of other departments like:
- B.Com – Quantitative Techniques
- B. C. A – Discrete Mathematics, Data Analysis
- M.Sc (Microbiology) – Biometry
- M.Sc (Computer Science) – Discrete Mathematics, Quantitative Techniques
- M. B. A – QT for Business Management.
- M.sc Bio Chemistry – Computational Techniques

| Student Results |
The Department has always maintained a pass percentage of 80% and above and hopes to increase the percentage. The department takes pride in announcing that we had 100% results in statistics throughout till 2004. Students also scored 100% marks in Mathematics Paper IV & Statistics paper IV several times. During the Academic year 2007-08 the department had students scoring 100% in Statistics Paper - I, Paper – II and Paper – III.

- Apart from the mid-term and pre-final examination conducted by college, every member is involved in conducting monthly-topic wise tests, giving regular assignments and conducting remedial classes for weak students.
- Students are encouraged to participate in various academic and cultural activities conducted by other institutions.
- On regular basis, our students participate in the "M.T and T.S programme" (Mathematic Training and Talent Search programme) which is hosted by I.I.T Mumbai at a different venue every year. The selection is based on merit, academic record and recommendation of a math teacher closely acquainted with the candidate. The following students were recommended and were selected.
2004 - P. Kiran Kumar,
2005 - Anjana Swaminathan,
2006 - Y. Shravan Kumar.
