About Us
The
Academy of Discrete Mathematics and Applications (ADMA) is a registered
professional body functioning with the aim of promoting active and
quality research in Discrete Mathematics and allied subjects.
Established
in 2005, it has been successfully disseminating front-line research
culture among the discrete mathematicians in India.
Its
annual conferences are being organized every year in the month of June
so that the dates of the conference include June 10th as Graph Theory
Day marking the birth anniversary of Professor E. Sampathkumar, the
pioneer in introducing Graph Theory into the postgraduate curriculum in
India during the academic year 1970-71 at the famed Karnatak University,
Dharwad.
Founding
It was the occasion of a
National Conference on Graph Theory during April 2005 at the Alliance
Business Academy, Bangalore. Some leading discrete mathematicians of
India like Prof. B. D. Acharya, Prof. S. Arumugam, Prof. R.
Balakrishnan, Prof. S. A. Choudam, Prof.(Mrs.) P. S. Neeralagi, Prof.
E. Sampathkumar, Prof. H. B. Walikar and many others, who were
participating in this conference, felt that Discrete Mathematics needs
to be given further push in INDIA by encouraging more involvement of
younger researchers. To promote this involvement, it was felt that
the formation of a national forum was the need of the hour.
Accordingly, it was decided to form a Society for Discrete Mathematics
and its applications which would prove to be a platform for providing
up-to-date information on the developments taking place in Discrete
Mathematics both at national and international levels. Prof.
Sampathkumar was then requested to be the Founder-President of the
society and thus, the foundation was laid for the creation of the
Academy of Discrete Mathematics and Applications (ADMA).
