Associate Professor

I have been working in Sathaye college, since 1989.I had been a VICE PRINCIPAL of the college since 1st October 2018. I have been teaching to F.Y.B.Sc., S.Y.B.Sc. & T.Y.B.Sc., F.Y.B.Com. & T.Y.B.A.[ Economics]. At present I am Associatte Professor teaching Mathematics - I, III, IV to the students of F.Y., S.Y. & T.Y. B.Sc.

Eventhough, I have done my M.Sc. In Applied Mathematics. I have not been able to work further in this area due to nature of my current teaching because a pure Mathematics is a syllabus for the classes I am teaching as per Mumbai University. However, this has provided me the opportunity to deveolope newer interest in Pure Mathematics. I plan to continue to focus these areas and get deeply involved. I constantly update pure Mathematics by attending various work shops and courses in Mathematics organised by Mumbai University Maths Department. I take extra efforts to bring students to the level of degree course as now a days we are getting students of poor knowledge in Mathematics. For this, we take tutorials, one to one communication with the students in doubt solving sessions and Remedial Coaching Training to take care of students weak in the subject.

My aim is to create awareness about the inovative use of Mathematical software among Mathematics students.

WORKSHOP /CONFERENCES & SEMINARS ATTENDED:

1) Seminar on "JOURNEY OF MATHEMATICS OF INDIA" held on 17th Aug.2012.

2) National Conference on "TOPICS IN COMMUTATIVE ALGEBRA" held during

24 - 25 Jan.2013.

3) Workshop on T.Y.BSc Mathematics examination pattern & revised syllabus as

per CBGS held on 4th july 2013.

4) Workshop on "Indian Women and Mathematics,IWM-2013 during the period
