The Chennai Mathematical Institute
Chennai Mathematical Institute (CMI), a university under Section 3 of
the UGC Act 1956, is recognized both within the country and abroad
as one of the important centres in India for research and teaching in
mathematical sciences. CMI is set up under a Trust and is managed
by a Governing Council made up of eminent personalities from both
academic and non-academic backgrounds. The academic matters of the
Institute are guided by its Research Advisory Committee consisting of
highly respected scientists. The teaching programmes are overseen by
the Academic Council, consisting of senior faculty from CMI and other
leading institutions across India. The members of the Governing Coun-
cil, Research Advisory Committee and Academic Council are listed on
the front and back inside covers.


Research at CMI
Professor C. S. Seshadri, f.r.s., an internationally renowned mathemati-
cian, has headed the Institute since its inception. The Institute has a
talented group of faculty members who have strong academic ties with
reputed institutions in India and abroad. The Institute also attracts a
regular stream of academic visitors, both from India and abroad.
    The main areas of research in Mathematics pursued at the Institute
are algebra, analysis, differential equations, geometry and topology. In
Computer Science, the main areas of research are formal methods in the
specification and verification of software systems, design and analysis of
algorithms, computational complexity theory and computer security. In
Physics, research is being carried out mainly in quantum field theory,
string theory and mathematical physics.
    The Institute has a well established Ph.D. Programme in Mathemat-
ics and Computer Science.


Teaching at CMI
It has always been the aim of the Institute to pursue excellence not
only in research but in teaching too. It is recognized all over the world
that academic excellence is best cultivated by enabling the interaction
between high quality researchers and talented students. In India, this


                                   1
interaction has been inhibited by the fact that most research institutions
have been set up outside the university system. As a result, the wealth
of scholarship and teaching talent that is available in our research insti-
tutions cannot be tapped by students in our colleges and universities.
There is a national need for educational institutions of quality to train
our talented students at both B.Sc. and M.Sc. levels.
    With this in mind, CMI initiated, in 1998, a 3-year course in Mathe-
matics and Computer Science leading to a B.Sc. (Honours) degree. The
aim is to train a select group of talented students for academic and pro-
fessional careers requiring exceptional mathematical and computational
skills. In 2001, the teaching programme at CMI was extended to include
separate 2-year M.Sc. courses in Mathematics and Computer Science.
Given the success of the undergraduate programme in Mathematics at
CMI, the teaching programme was extended in 2003 to include a 3-year
B.Sc. (Honours) programme in Physics. From 2010, the Institute is
starting a new M.Sc. course in Applications of Mathematics.
    In the initial years, the degrees were awarded by the Madhya Pradesh
Bhoj (Open) University (MPBOU), Bhopal. In December 2006, CMI
was recognized as a university under Section 3 of the UGC Act 1956.
CMI now awards B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees directly.

The Curriculum and the Teaching Faculty

The teaching curriculum is perhaps the best that is available in the
country at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
    The B.Sc. (Honours) Mathematics and Computer Science 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, pro-
gramming 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 mate-
rial.
    The B.Sc. (Honours) Physics curriculum covers basic undergradu-
ate courses in Physics in topics such as classical mechanics, electromag-
netism, thermodynamics, statistical and quantum physics. It also in-
cludes courses in programming and mathematics and offers an introduc-
tion to some advanced topics like relativity, cosmology, quantum field
theory and condensed matter physics.


                                    2
Physics students perform basic experiments at the in-house labora-
tory in CMI’s new campus. In addition, students have an intensive lab-
oratory 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.
    The M.Sc. curriculum takes the students into more advanced topics
in Mathematics and Computer Science. The course structure is flexible
and designed so that students can lay a firm foundation for pursuing
further research while also acquiring advanced skills that will enhance
their effectiveness in professional careers.
    All students at CMI have access to a well-equipped computer labora-
tory with a high-speed Internet connection and are strongly encouraged
to acquire computer related skills as part of their education.
    The B.Sc. (Honours) Programme consists of six semesters of study
over three years. The M.Sc. Programmes generally consist of four semesters
of study over two years. Each year, the first semester runs from August
to November and the second semester runs from January to April. The
new M.Sc. Programe in Applications of Mathematics has a slightly dif-
ferent structure in the second year, with two shorter terms followed by
an internship or project.
    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 distin-
guished 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 Sup´rieure (ENS), Paris.
                                   e

Humanities

Chennai Mathematical Institute is also building up activities in the Hu-
manities. The undergraduate programme includes two compulsory Hu-
manities courses. The Institute has adjunct faculty in Literature and
Music. A number of seminars have been organized in recent years in
these subjects.




                                   3
Exchange Programmes

Chennai Mathematical Institute has a formal agreement with the Ecole
Normale Sup´rieure in Paris, France, one of the leading institutions in the
              e
world for teaching and research in Mathematics, for regular exchanges
of visits by academic members of CMI and ENS, Paris.
    Each year, top-ranking senior B.Sc. Mathematics and Computer Sci-
ence students from CMI spend the summer at ENS working on research
problems with faculty there. In return, four members of ENS visit CMI
each year to participate in research and to teach a complete course in
the B.Sc. programme.
    The Institute now has a similar arrangement with Ecole Polytech-
nique in Paris wherby top-ranking senior B.Sc. Physics students spend
the summer in Paris working on research problems with faculty at Ecole
Polytechnique.
    The Institute also has a formal agreement with the Ecole Normale
Sup´rieure in Cachan, France, for exchange of B.Sc. and M.Sc. students
    e
as well as for a joint Ph.D. programme in Computer Science and Math-
ematics.

Links with other institutions

CMI has signed an agreement with the Society for Electronic Trans-
actions and Security (SETS), Chennai to cooperate on research and
teaching related to cryptography and security. SETS provides a spe-
cial scholarship for M.Sc. students interested in cryptography, based on
an interview after joining CMI’s M.Sc. programme.
    The Institute has also entered into an active partnership with Mi-
crosoft Research India (MSR), Bangalore. Students from CMI can take
up internships at MSR. In addition, faculty at both institutions will
collaborate actively in teaching and research.

Placement

Students from CMI have gone on to pursue further studies at the best
academic institutions in India and abroad. These include Caltech, Chicago,
MIT, Princeton, U Penn and Yale in USA, ENS Paris, Univ Paris-Sud
and Univ Bordeaux in France, the Max Planck Institutes and Humboldt
University in Germany and the Harish-Chandra Research Institute, IITs,
IMSc, ISI and TIFR in India.


                                    4
Though the majority of students from the Institute continue in Math-
ematics, Computer Science and Physics, CMI graduates have also moved
into areas such as financial mathematics (at IFMR), management (at
IIM) and economics (both in India and abroad). Students from CMI
have also been placed in some of the best software companies in India.

Campus and Hostel Facility

The Institute’s campus is located in the SIPCOT Information Technol-
ogy Park in Siruseri, on the outskirts of Chennai. CMI’s programme is
fully residential. All students are accommodated in the hostel on cam-
pus. The Institute has a regular transportation arrangement for students
to visit the city for shopping and other activities.
    Students pay hostel and mess fees at the beginning of each semester.
Currently, the amount payable is Rs. 15,400 per semester, (Rs. 4,000,
Rs. 9,000 and Rs. 2,400 towards hostel fees, mess charges and establish-
ment charges respectively). These charges are adjusted periodically to
account for inflation.


Funding
One of the unique features of CMI in the Indian context is that its
funding comes from diverse sources, both public and private. This has
given the Institute the freedom to organize its activities in a manner that
is best suited to achieving its goal of excellence in research and teaching.
    The Institute receives substantial support for its activities from the
Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), through the National Board for
Higher Mathematics (NBHM). In addition, the Institute has received
a major grant for the period 2006–2009 from the Board of Research in
Nuclear Sciences (BRNS) and the Department of Science and Technology
(DST).
    The Institute also receives generous contributions from the private
sector. During the formative years of the Institute, the Southern Petro-
chemical Industries Corporation (SPIC) has been a major source of fund-
ing and infrastructural support for CMI. Currently, the Shriram Group
Companies, Chennai play a crucial role in providing and organizing pri-
vate funding for the Institute.
    The land for the new Institute campus at Siruseri was acquired


                                     5
through a grant from the Shriram Group Companies. Major financial
contributions towards building up the new campus have come from Ma-
trix Laboratories, Hyderabad, the Chennai Willingdon Corporate Foun-
dation, Take Solutions, Chennai, the Infosys Foundation, Bangalore and
Tata Consultancy Services. A new building with an auditorium, guest
rooms, hostel rooms and additional office space is currently being con-
structed with funds from the Ministry of Human Resource Development
(MHRD) via the University Grants Commission (UGC).
    The Institute receives a generous annual grant from Tata Consul-
tancy Services to support academic activities. Microsoft Research has
also provided substantial support through research and travel grants.
    In addition to grants from government and private sources, CMI also
receives funding for research projects from government agencies such as
Department of Science and Technology (DST) and Defence Research De-
velopment Organization (DRDO) as well as from private organizations.

matics or equivalent and students with a bachelors degree in Engineering
or Science with a strong aptitude for research are eligible to apply for
the Ph.D. programme in Mathematics.
    Students with a B.E., B.Tech., M.Sc., or M.C.A. degree and students
with a bachelors degree in Science with a strong aptitude for research
are eligible to apply for admission to the Ph.D. programme in Computer
Science.
    Admission is through an entrance examination to be conducted at
centres throughout the country on Thursday, May 27, 2010, followed
by an interview in Chennai. Details about the admission procedure are
available at the CMI website, http://www.cmi.ac.in.

Fees and scholarships Research Scholars get a stipend of Rs 12000
per month for the first two years and Rs 14000 per month for the next
three years. Scholars who do not stay in the hostel are eligible for a house
rent allowance of 30% of stipend per month. The scholarship amounts are
revised periodically, and are on par with the premier research institutes
in India.

Courses and research Students admitted to the Ph.D. programme
are expected to complete one year of compulsory course work. After
this, students are assigned guides and begin their research work. Their
progress is monitored periodically by a doctoral committee.

Part-Time PhD Programme

CMI has a part-time PhD programme to allow students to complete
a PhD while continuing to work for their parent organisations. Part-
time students are admitted based on an entrance examination and an
interview, like regular PhD students. Students must already have a
Masters degree to be admitted to the part-time PhD programme. There
is a minimum residency requirement of two semesters, which can be
spread over the first two years of the programme.

  • 2. The Chennai Mathematical Institute Chennai Mathematical Institute (CMI), a university under Section 3 of the UGC Act 1956, is recognized both within the country and abroad as one of the important centres in India for research and teaching in mathematical sciences. CMI is set up under a Trust and is managed by a Governing Council made up of eminent personalities from both academic and non-academic backgrounds. The academic matters of the Institute are guided by its Research Advisory Committee consisting of highly respected scientists. The teaching programmes are overseen by the Academic Council, consisting of senior faculty from CMI and other leading institutions across India. The members of the Governing Coun- cil, Research Advisory Committee and Academic Council are listed on the front and back inside covers. Research at CMI Professor C. S. Seshadri, f.r.s., an internationally renowned mathemati- cian, has headed the Institute since its inception. The Institute has a talented group of faculty members who have strong academic ties with reputed institutions in India and abroad. The Institute also attracts a regular stream of academic visitors, both from India and abroad. The main areas of research in Mathematics pursued at the Institute are algebra, analysis, differential equations, geometry and topology. In Computer Science, the main areas of research are formal methods in the specification and verification of software systems, design and analysis of algorithms, computational complexity theory and computer security. In Physics, research is being carried out mainly in quantum field theory, string theory and mathematical physics. The Institute has a well established Ph.D. Programme in Mathemat- ics and Computer Science. Teaching at CMI It has always been the aim of the Institute to pursue excellence not only in research but in teaching too. It is recognized all over the world that academic excellence is best cultivated by enabling the interaction between high quality researchers and talented students. In India, this 1
  • 3. interaction has been inhibited by the fact that most research institutions have been set up outside the university system. As a result, the wealth of scholarship and teaching talent that is available in our research insti- tutions cannot be tapped by students in our colleges and universities. There is a national need for educational institutions of quality to train our talented students at both B.Sc. and M.Sc. levels. With this in mind, CMI initiated, in 1998, a 3-year course in Mathe- matics and Computer Science leading to a B.Sc. (Honours) degree. The aim is to train a select group of talented students for academic and pro- fessional careers requiring exceptional mathematical and computational skills. In 2001, the teaching programme at CMI was extended to include separate 2-year M.Sc. courses in Mathematics and Computer Science. Given the success of the undergraduate programme in Mathematics at CMI, the teaching programme was extended in 2003 to include a 3-year B.Sc. (Honours) programme in Physics. From 2010, the Institute is starting a new M.Sc. course in Applications of Mathematics. In the initial years, the degrees were awarded by the Madhya Pradesh Bhoj (Open) University (MPBOU), Bhopal. In December 2006, CMI was recognized as a university under Section 3 of the UGC Act 1956. CMI now awards B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees directly. The Curriculum and the Teaching Faculty The teaching curriculum is perhaps the best that is available in the country at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The B.Sc. (Honours) Mathematics and Computer Science 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, pro- gramming 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 mate- rial. The B.Sc. (Honours) Physics curriculum covers basic undergradu- ate courses in Physics in topics such as classical mechanics, electromag- netism, thermodynamics, statistical and quantum physics. It also in- cludes courses in programming and mathematics and offers an introduc- tion to some advanced topics like relativity, cosmology, quantum field theory and condensed matter physics. 2
  • 4. Physics students perform basic experiments at the in-house labora- tory in CMI’s new campus. In addition, students have an intensive lab- oratory 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. The M.Sc. curriculum takes the students into more advanced topics in Mathematics and Computer Science. The course structure is flexible and designed so that students can lay a firm foundation for pursuing further research while also acquiring advanced skills that will enhance their effectiveness in professional careers. All students at CMI have access to a well-equipped computer labora- tory with a high-speed Internet connection and are strongly encouraged to acquire computer related skills as part of their education. The B.Sc. (Honours) Programme consists of six semesters of study over three years. The M.Sc. Programmes generally consist of four semesters of study over two years. Each year, the first semester runs from August to November and the second semester runs from January to April. The new M.Sc. Programe in Applications of Mathematics has a slightly dif- ferent structure in the second year, with two shorter terms followed by an internship or project. 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 distin- guished 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 Sup´rieure (ENS), Paris. e Humanities Chennai Mathematical Institute is also building up activities in the Hu- manities. The undergraduate programme includes two compulsory Hu- manities courses. The Institute has adjunct faculty in Literature and Music. A number of seminars have been organized in recent years in these subjects. 3
  • 5. Exchange Programmes Chennai Mathematical Institute has a formal agreement with the Ecole Normale Sup´rieure in Paris, France, one of the leading institutions in the e world for teaching and research in Mathematics, for regular exchanges of visits by academic members of CMI and ENS, Paris. Each year, top-ranking senior B.Sc. Mathematics and Computer Sci- ence students from CMI spend the summer at ENS working on research problems with faculty there. In return, four members of ENS visit CMI each year to participate in research and to teach a complete course in the B.Sc. programme. The Institute now has a similar arrangement with Ecole Polytech- nique in Paris wherby top-ranking senior B.Sc. Physics students spend the summer in Paris working on research problems with faculty at Ecole Polytechnique. The Institute also has a formal agreement with the Ecole Normale Sup´rieure in Cachan, France, for exchange of B.Sc. and M.Sc. students e as well as for a joint Ph.D. programme in Computer Science and Math- ematics. Links with other institutions CMI has signed an agreement with the Society for Electronic Trans- actions and Security (SETS), Chennai to cooperate on research and teaching related to cryptography and security. SETS provides a spe- cial scholarship for M.Sc. students interested in cryptography, based on an interview after joining CMI’s M.Sc. programme. The Institute has also entered into an active partnership with Mi- crosoft Research India (MSR), Bangalore. Students from CMI can take up internships at MSR. In addition, faculty at both institutions will collaborate actively in teaching and research. Placement Students from CMI have gone on to pursue further studies at the best academic institutions in India and abroad. These include Caltech, Chicago, MIT, Princeton, U Penn and Yale in USA, ENS Paris, Univ Paris-Sud and Univ Bordeaux in France, the Max Planck Institutes and Humboldt University in Germany and the Harish-Chandra Research Institute, IITs, IMSc, ISI and TIFR in India. 4
  • 6. Though the majority of students from the Institute continue in Math- ematics, Computer Science and Physics, CMI graduates have also moved into areas such as financial mathematics (at IFMR), management (at IIM) and economics (both in India and abroad). Students from CMI have also been placed in some of the best software companies in India. Campus and Hostel Facility The Institute’s campus is located in the SIPCOT Information Technol- ogy Park in Siruseri, on the outskirts of Chennai. CMI’s programme is fully residential. All students are accommodated in the hostel on cam- pus. The Institute has a regular transportation arrangement for students to visit the city for shopping and other activities. Students pay hostel and mess fees at the beginning of each semester. Currently, the amount payable is Rs. 15,400 per semester, (Rs. 4,000, Rs. 9,000 and Rs. 2,400 towards hostel fees, mess charges and establish- ment charges respectively). These charges are adjusted periodically to account for inflation. Funding One of the unique features of CMI in the Indian context is that its funding comes from diverse sources, both public and private. This has given the Institute the freedom to organize its activities in a manner that is best suited to achieving its goal of excellence in research and teaching. The Institute receives substantial support for its activities from the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), through the National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM). In addition, the Institute has received a major grant for the period 2006–2009 from the Board of Research in Nuclear Sciences (BRNS) and the Department of Science and Technology (DST). The Institute also receives generous contributions from the private sector. During the formative years of the Institute, the Southern Petro- chemical Industries Corporation (SPIC) has been a major source of fund- ing and infrastructural support for CMI. Currently, the Shriram Group Companies, Chennai play a crucial role in providing and organizing pri- vate funding for the Institute. The land for the new Institute campus at Siruseri was acquired 5
  • 7. through a grant from the Shriram Group Companies. Major financial contributions towards building up the new campus have come from Ma- trix Laboratories, Hyderabad, the Chennai Willingdon Corporate Foun- dation, Take Solutions, Chennai, the Infosys Foundation, Bangalore and Tata Consultancy Services. A new building with an auditorium, guest rooms, hostel rooms and additional office space is currently being con- structed with funds from the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) via the University Grants Commission (UGC). The Institute receives a generous annual grant from Tata Consul- tancy Services to support academic activities. Microsoft Research has also provided substantial support through research and travel grants. In addition to grants from government and private sources, CMI also receives funding for research projects from government agencies such as Department of Science and Technology (DST) and Defence Research De- velopment Organization (DRDO) as well as from private organizations. 6
