It is an institute of education and research, located in [[Delhi]], [[India]]. Its goal is the promotion of [[mathematics]] and its applications at all levels, from school to college to research.<br /> <br /> ==Educational programmes==<br /> <br /> ===Undergraduate===<br /> *Mathematical Finance: A hands-on introduction to modern [[Finance]] and the role of mathematics in it.<br /> *Mathematical Simulation with IT: Explores the interaction between Mathematics, [[Technology]], and [[Education]].<br /> <br /> ===Graduate===<br /> In association with the [[University of Houston]], leading to [[PhD]]&#039;s in Mathematics, [[Computer Science]], and [[Physics]]. Students are trained at MSF for a year before heading to [[Houston]].<br /> <br /> ==Seminars and conferences==<br /> *A Life of Mathematics: An annual programme under which eminent mathematicians reside at [[St. Stephen&#039;s College, Delhi, India|St. Stephen&#039;s College]] to interact with students and faculty. Recent visitors under this programme have been [[Sir Michael Atiyah]], [[M S Narasimhan]] and [[Martin Golubitsky]] (President, [[Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics|SIAM]]).<br /> *Mathematics in the 20th Century: An international conference held in Delhi in 2006 to commemorate the birth centenary of [[André Weil]].<br /> <br /> ==Contests==<br /> *MSF Challenge: An annual contest, first held in 2006, to encourage school students to use computers for mathematical problem solving.<br /> *Recognizing Ramanujan: An annual contest, first held in 2019, to encourage school students in adapting to unique thinking ability in mathematical problem solving. This contest also encourages students to get to know about the great Indian Mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan.<br /> Akshit Gupta from [[Delhi Public School Rohini]] topped the first edition of this contest with 75% marks which was almost 15% more than the next best student in the edition. He till date remains the only student to secure a perfect score in the mathematical problem solving section of the exam.<br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.mathscifound.org MSF homepage]<br /> <br /> {{coord missing|Delhi}}<br /> <br /> <br /> {{authority control}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Research institutes in Delhi]]<br /> [[Category:Mathematical institutes]]<br /> [[Category:Organisations based in Delhi]]<br /> [[Category:Indian mathematics]]<br /> [[Category:Mathematics education in India]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{science-org-stub}}</div>
