It is a matter of pride and honour for the department that Acharya Nagarjuna University recognized it as a research centre in March 2004 to offer M. Phil and Ph.D. in mathematics. The recognition has ignited the creative minds of the post graduate students of mathematics and every year two to three students joined for M. Phil and after its completion registered for Ph.D. Dr. N. Prabhakara Rao, Professor & HOD of the department is recognizes as a research director by ANU.
So far under the guidance of Dr. N. Prabhakara Rao, 3 Ph.D”s and 9 M.Phils were awarded through this research centre. Commendable work is being done in algebra ( rings, lattices ) and graph theory(topological indices, magic labelings).Several papers were published in national and international journals and these research students have presented papers in several national and international conferences and symposia.
