The Department of Engineering, Sciences and Humanities organized a guest lecture on "Bridging Mathematics and Engineering through Linear Algebra" on 2nd August 2025, from 11:15 AM to 1:15 PM, at the third-floor auditorium of Academic Block-B. Over 80 students from the Information Technology and allied branches attended the event.

The objective of the session was to bridge the theoretical foundations of linear algebra with its practical applications in engineering, helping students understand how mathematical concepts are essential for solving real-world engineering problems.

Dr. Malabika Adak, an expert in the field of mathematics, was the resource person for the session. She has made significant contributions to the study of linear algebra and its applications. Dr. Adak’s presentation focused on the importance of linear algebra in engineering and covered several key topics, including conceptual clarity on vector spaces, matrix operations, and transformations. She also discussed the applications of eigenvalues and eigenvectors in system stability, vibrations, and real-world examples from computer graphics, data science, and machine learning. Additionally, the session highlighted the role of linear algebra in control systems and signal processing.

Dr. Smita Tolani, HoD of Engineering Sciences and Humanities, welcomed the guest speaker. The event was coordinated by Dr. Kirti Sahu, with anchoring by Ms. Shravni Bante, a second-year student from IT. The session was well-received by the students, who appreciated the speaker’s ability to simplify complex concepts. The event concluded with a formal vote of thanks by Ms. Mayuri, a second-year student from IT.
