Mathematics identified as core driver of AI progress at Indian conference

Mathematics was declared the essential engine behind modern artificial intelligence by Reheena Nasrin of BUET during the valedictory session of the three‑day Computation Science and Intelligent Engineering conference in Vijayawada.

Key Insight

Nasrin stressed that advanced AI capabilities, predictive power and logical reasoning all depend on mathematical equations, frameworks and data algorithms.

Speakers

G. Sobhalatha of Sri Krishnadevaraya University presented a talk on the lexicographic product graph. Bukke Kiran Naik, scientist at NIT Rourkela, discussed intelligent thermodynamics, highlighting data‑driven system optimisation and solutions for the energy‑water nexus.

Participation

Conference convener Charan announced that more than 200 research papers were presented by scholars from leading Indian universities. Certificates of participation and excellence were handed out by the dignitaries. The valedictory session was attended by Vice‑Chancellor P. Venkateswara Rao, Pro‑Vice‑Chancellor A.V. Ratna Prasad, Dean D. Venkata Rao, Registrar M. Ravichand, Head of the Mathematics Department Ch. Baby Rani and senior faculty K. Hemalatha, J. Siva Ram Prasad and M.V.D.N.S. Madhavi, along with other faculty, department heads, research scholars and students.

Context

Mathematics underpins the algorithms that power AI, so strong mathematical training is seen as crucial for future digital intelligence developments.
