The Research Department of Mathematics, Nesamony Memorial Christian College, Marthandam, organized an invited talk on "PDE and Method of Characteristics" on 25th June 2025 at 11:30 AM in the Mathematics Computer Lab. The session aimed to deepen the understanding of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) among postgraduate students.

     The event commenced with the Tamil Thai Valthu followed by a prayer song, both   presented melodiously by the II M.Sc. Mathematics (A) students, setting a reverent tone for the gathering.

     Ms. Benolin Jeni J, a student of II M.Sc. Mathematics (A), extended a warm welcometo the gathering with a thoughtful Welcome Address, acknowledging the esteemed guests and participants.

      The Presidential Address was delivered by Dr. E. Ebin Raja Merly, the Head of the Department who shared inspiring insights on the importance of mathematical modeling and the relevance of PDEs in real-world applications.

     This was followed by a Felicitation Address by Dr. A. Vijayan, Professor & Head (Retd.), NMCC, who appreciated the department’s continuous efforts in nurturing academic excellence. 

     Ms. Jaffi J from II M.Sc. Mathematics (A) introduced the Chief Guest, Dr. V. Pramanantham, Professor of Mathematics, Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli, highlighting his academic achievements and contributions to the field.

     The much-anticipated Chief Guest Address by Dr. V. Pramanantham provided an indepth understanding of Partial Differential Equations and the Method of Characteristics. His lecture was highly informative, blending theoretical concepts with practical examples, greatly enriching the students' academic experience. This was followed by a Feedback Session, where the attendees shared their appreciation and thoughts on the session.

     Ms. Abinaya R, II M.Sc. Mathematics (A), proposed the Vote of Thanks, expressing gratitude to all dignitaries, organizers, and participants who contributed to the success of the event.

     The programme concluded with the National Anthem, marking a dignified end to the intellectual session.

     The event was efficiently anchored by Asha S. and Bernisha J. S. from the MC Desk, who ensured the smooth flow of the programme.
