About Professor S. L. Singh
Professor S. L. Singh (1942 – 2017) was one of the most renowned researchers in fixed point theory in the world. He did his Ph.D. in Mathematics in 1976 from Kumaun University, India. During his 47-year-long career, he served different Indian and foreign universities. He had the longest association with Gurukula Kangri Vishwavidyalaya, Haridwar, India from 1985 till his retirement in 2004. After joining Gurukula Kangri Vishwavidyalaya, Prof. Singh was inclined towards old sciences. He has done remarkable work in the History of Mathematics and Indian (Vedic) Mathematics. He wrote two books on Vedic mathematics. One is “Lilavati of Bhascaracarya”, an English translation of the Lilavati book of Bhascaracarya (originally in Sanskrit). Another book is “The Prosody of Pingala”. Prof Singh has coauthored more than 230 research papers in Probabilistic Analysis, Topology, Operator Theory, Fractal Graphics, and History of Mathematics. He had supervised 30 Ph.D. Thesis. He initiated research on the history of ancient Indian Mathematics in Gurukula Kangri Vishwavidyalaya and supervised 3 Ph.D. thesis. More than half a dozen doctoral theses under his supervision have been presented through Hindi medium. At least a dozen research articles have been published in various journals in Hindi.
University at a Glance
Sridev Suman Uttarakhand University was established as a State University of Uttarakhand, with the State Government notification No 270/XXXVI (3)/2012/48(1)/2012 dated 19th October 2012, following the amendment of the erstwhile Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyay Uttarakhand Vishwavidyalaya Act in 2011. The university is nestled amidst the picturesque Himalayan ranges in Tehri Garhwal and has jurisdiction over seven districts, including Chamoli, Raudraprayag, Pauri, Tehri, Uttarkashi, Haridwar, and Dehradun in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. The university’s Badshahithaul campus is strategically located between Chamba and New Tehri, offering a breathtaking view of the snow-capped Himalayas and the enchanting Bhagirathi Valley. With its location on the Delhi-Gangotri national highway, it enjoys seamless connectivity with major areas of the country, making it accessible to students and faculty members alike.
About Pt. Lalit Mohan Sharma Campus, Rishikesh
Pt. Lalit Mohan Sharma Campus, Rishikesh, the erstwhile autonomous college, one of the best academic institutions of the newly created Uttarakhand State catering to the academic needs of the western part of Uttarakhand, is the new campus of the University. The Government of Uttarakhand decided to convert the college into a campus of the university to justify the historical facts regarding the city as the name “Hrishikesh” which is a combination of two words Hrishik (senses) and esh (God or master) is the perfect place to gain the highest quality of knowledge through penance (hard work) and devotion. Set against the backdrop of the Himalayas and with the pristine Ganga flowing through it, the ancient town is a hub of many ancient and new temples, attracting thousands of pilgrims throughout the year. The popular belief of Hindu devotees is that performing austerities in the holy town and offering prayers in the holy temples bring the much-needed attainment of ‘Mukti’ or salvation. The city is well connected with buses, trains from major areas of the country, and Air (Dehradun Airport at Jolly Grant is nearly 21Kms from Rishikesh). Rishikesh is approximately 340 meters above sea level. The weather in Rishikesh remains generally excellent with temperatures varying between 24.80-39.10C in May.

About the Mathematics Department
Department of Mathematics caters to the needs of undergraduate and postgraduate students and boasts a distinguished faculty consisting of two professors, one associate professor, and one assistant professor. The faculty members are specialized in the areas of Nonlinear functional analysis, Biomathematics, Mathematical Modelling, and Fixed Point Theory. The department also offers a Ph.D. program in Mathematics. Faculty members collaborate globally with colleagues from Turkey, Romania, Algeria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Tanzania, Serbia, Spain, and different parts of India. Their research has taken them to destinations such as Senegal, Turkey, Nepal, Taiwan, Thailand, and the USA. This reflects the active involvement of the department in research, which strives to be recognized for excellence among academic institutions in India and abroad. Emphasizing ICT is crucial for enhancing educational capacity without compromising quality. Faculty members encourage students to utilize e-books, e-PG Pathshala for free postgraduate-level content, access 24*7 SWAYAMPRABHA for high-quality educational programs on TV, and engage in SWAYAM for Massive Open Online Courses. Additionally, students are motivated to enroll in NPTEL and Swayam Programs, aligning with the three cardinal principles of Education Policy— access, equity, and quality.
