== History ==
Mathematics in Kerala, during the times of [[Madhava of Sangamagrama]], majorly flourished in the Misiris region of Thrikkandiyur, Thirur, Alathiyur and Thirunavaya in the Malabar region of [[Kerala]]. Commemorating the rich heritage of Mathematics in the region, Kerala School of Mathematics was hence chosen to be set up in the scenic mountains of the [[Western Ghats]] in the city of Kozhikode.

The nascent plan to set up Kerala School of Mathematics started forming shape in around 2004. The then DAE chairman [[Anil Kakodkar]] and the then executive vice president of KSCSTE, [[M. S. Valiathan]] were instrumental in setting up the institute with the guidance of [[M. S. Raghunathan]], [[Rajeeva Laxman Karandikar|Rajeeva Karandikar]] and Alladi Sitaram. The foundation stone of KSoM was laid by the then Chief Minister [[A. K. Antony|A.K. Antony]] in 2004. The institute was later inaugurated in 2008 by the then Chief Minister [[V. S. Achuthanandan]]<ref>{{Cite news|date=2009-06-14|title=Kerala School of Mathematics to start academic activities|language=en-IN|work=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-kerala/Kerala-School-of-Mathematics-to-start-academic-activities/article16577233.ece|access-date=2020-11-08|issn=0971-751X}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|date=2008-06-04|title=VS opens Kerala School of Mathematics|language=en-IN|work=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-kerala/VS-opens-Kerala-School-of-Mathematics/article15235041.ece|access-date=2020-11-08|issn=0971-751X}}</ref> and finally set up in 2009 with Parameswaran A.
