Date and Venue

Date : 18th October 2019
Venue : Seminar Hall, Government College, Ambalapuzha, Alappuzha

Speakers and talks

1) Title : Mean Value Theorem and Applications
Speaker : Prof. Subrahmanian Moosath K S, Professor, Department of Mathematics, Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala
Abstract : We discuss Mean Value Theorem and it’s applications with little bit of geometric interpretation.


2) Title : Queuing- Inventory Models in Real life Situations
Speaker : Dr. K. P. Jose, Associate Professor, PG & Research Dept. of Mathematics, St.Peter’s College, Kolenchery-682 311, Ernakulam Dt., Kerala

Abstract : Nowadays, coupling of Queuing Theory with Inventory is an interest for researchers. Queuing theory is a branch of mathematics that studies and models the act of waiting in lines. The first paper on queuing theory titled The Theory of Probabilities and Telephone Conversations was published in 1909 by Danish mathematician Prof. A. K. Erlang. Prof. Erlang is considered as the father of Queuing Theory. The aim of inventory theory is to determine some rules that a management/company can use to minimize the costs associated with inventory. Keeping an inventory (stock of goods) for future sale or use is common in business. In order to meet demand on time, organizations/companies must keep on hand a stock of goods. Queuing-Inventory Models have applications in real life situations of people waiting in front of ATM centres of banks, Doctor’s clinic, Petrol pumps etc.
3) Title : Mathematics and Cyber Security
Speaker : Dr. Tony Thomas, Associate Professor, Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management – Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram
Abstract : Cyber security involves protecting information and systems from cyber threats and attacks. Mathematics plays a key role in both preventing and modelling security attacks, with many cybersecurity tools and algorithms being based on mathematical ideas. Cybersecurity expertise is required by a wide variety of government and business sectors. In this talk we will briefly explore how various mathematical concepts and models have been utilized for building a secure cyber world. We will also discuss the exciting opportunities in higher studies and carrier for mathematics graduates in the cyber security domain.
