The department of Mathematics at Nalbari College was established in July 1945 through the founding efforts of Late Kamakhya Kamal Pandit, who rendered his services in this college for one year. Then Mathematics classes were managed by Late Radha Sarma, a teacher of Govt. Gurdon High School for a period of eight months. Two year degree classes with subjects English, Assamese, History, Philosophy, Sanskrit, and Economics were started in the year 1949. Intermediate science classes with subjects English, Assamese, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry were started in the year 1958.
Gauhati University introduced one year P.U. in both Arts and Science classes in lieu of intermediate Arts and Science in 1961. These courses were started in Nalbari College. In 1962, G.U. introduced three year degree courses in both arts and science. This year was the beginning year of degree course of Mathematics as well as Science in our college. For greater interest of local students, commercial Arithmetic subject was started in H.S. Arts class in 1971 for two years and Dr. D. Talukdar of Department of Mathematics took the responsibility to teach that subject.
Mathematics (Major) classes were started from the year 1972. In 1974, Assam Higher Secondary Education council introduced two year H.S. course in Arts and Science and in 1976, two year degree course in both Arts and Science was introduced. H.S. and two year degree classes were started in Nalbari College. In the year 1985, the 10+2+3 course was introduced and new syllabus of degree as well as Higher Secondary classes was improved. Nalbari college followed this course timely.
Students are constantly encouraged to present papers and participate in the inter-college competitions of the University. The departmental Wall-magazine, Matrix was launched in 2013, with the aim of introducing students to some element of research and providing basic training in writing formal Mathematics. In 2013, the department issued its first newsletter Mathematica, Which is published annually.
Having come a long way in the past seventy-four years, today the department of Mathematics is a close-knit community of faculty members, over a hundred fifty students and a large family of alumnae. However the department does not rest on its laurels, because excellence is not recognized as the destination but an on-going journey.
