BSc (Honours) in Mathematics

BSc (Honours) in Mathematics

The BSc (Honours) Mathematics curriculum covers basic and advanced undergraduate courses in Mathematics. The programme also includes a number of courses on fundamental topics in Computer Science, including the design and analysis of algorithms, programming languages and computability theory. The courses are taught by active researchers in mathematics and computer science who draw on their professional expertise to offer new insights into the subject material.

The teaching programmes at CMI are run in cooperation with the Institute of Mathematical Sciences (IMSc), Chennai. The courses are taught by the faculty of CMI and IMSc, Chennai, as well as distinguished visiting scientists from other academic institutions such as the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), IGCAR, Kalpakkam, IIT Madras, Chennai, the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA), Pune and the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS), Paris.

Laboratory infrastructure

All students at CMI have access to a well-equipped computer laboratory with a high-speed Internet connection and are strongly encouraged to acquire computer related skills as part of their education.

Physics students perform basic experiments at the in-house laboratory in CMI's new campus. In addition, students have an intensive laboratory programme at the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE), Mumbai, during the summer vacation after the first year. A similar arrangement has been worked out with the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR), Kalpakkam for students at the end of the second year.
