Welcome note from ISCP
Dear New Entrants, We take this opportunity to welcome you to one of the most prestigious institutes of the country. We congratulate you on having achieved this feat. With our personal experiences we can vouch that the your stay here at the campus would be exciting. From potential leopard sightings to potential bumping into movie stars all awaits you. Wonderful all night banters, amazing wing cultures and mad birthday celebrations are a few things that you will carry from here when you leave, obviously along with the degree. You will also become a part of a culture where people want to perfect their craft and thus work day in and day out at it. Hence there will be great opportunities to learn both inside as well as outside the classrooms. Thus it is a whole new cosmos to enter and with excitements it might have a few challenges too. We at ISCP(Institute Student Companion Programme) work towards providing you with the hacks to take care of these challenges and have a happy stay with the IIT Bombay family. The primary objective of the Companion Programme under which the ISCP team works is to build a relationship of trust and comfort between the final year students and the incoming students of the PG programmes. Once this is established life at campus becomes so much easier than what it would have been without it. The knowledge and the experience that the senior batch has gained with their stay at the campus makes the surroundings so much you that the transition becomes smooth. From the lingo on campus to the terminology` in the classroom, from the grading to the syllabus, from the profile to placements, from tagda franky to bhindi rice all becomes ingrained so much as if it were you always. On campus you might always be short on time as there is so much to do and when there is so much to do time flies at sonic speeds. Managing the academics along with extra curricular activities and your social life may seem a daunting task at times. The ISCP programme thus provides you a Student Companion with whom you can share your academic and non- academic problems. These are self-motivated volunteers who want to genuinely help you in tough situation as a giving back act of what they received from the programme. You can look up to the team for any initial information in things that you are venturing out at be it academics or extra-curriculars, any academic or non- academic issues that you are facing, any sort of support, any requirement that you wanna raise up as a part of the student community and last but certainly not the least just for normal interaction because that is all the programme holds at its core. Come be a part of this immense pool of wisdom and make it more happening and diverse.

Welcome note from PG Academic Council
Hello Friends,
9
Congratulations on being selected to be a part of IIT Bombay and a cordial
welcome to this new world.
You must have realized by now that you are undergoing a phase of substantive
transformation, and this might be daunting for some of you. The academic
curriculum of this institution might seem different and perhaps new in
comparison to what you were exposed to during your undergraduate
education. To appease all the apprehensions that you have, the Post Graduate
Academic Council (PGAC) along with the team of ISCP will try to address all the
queries that you will be having during your entire Master’s Programme.
IIT Bombay is known to offer the students a very dynamic environment and a
reasonable amount of freedom so that the individual can pursue their heart’s
desire. Be it academics, sports, cultural, or any other activity, you will be
finding myriad opportunities to build up your personality and add value to
your life. I am hoping that you will be able to explore the unending map of
possibilities, push your boundaries, break all the walls and bring out the best
version of yourself by the time you finish your Degree Programme.
I wish you good luck and hope to see you around. We are looking forward to
interacting with you.

About Department
10
History:
The Department of Mathematics had its humble beginnings in the year
1958 from the premises of SASMIRA (Silk and Arts Silk Mills Research
Association) Building in Worli, Mumbai. The faculty strength of Department of
Mathematics had already grown to 15 in 1960 and it was further increased to
18 in 1962. The Department was first housed on the top floor of the present
Main Building. It was subsequently moved to the TCS Building (the present day
Building of Estate Office) along with some other Departments. The Department
moved to the building where it is presently housed in the year 1966. The Senate
of IIT Bombay gave its approval for the very first M.Sc. (Mathematics)
programme on 18 August 1967, and the programme started in July 1968. This
M.Sc. (Mathematics) programme continued (with minor modifications from
time to time) till 1976-1977. The first time such a programme appeared in the
Courses of Study Bulletin of the Institute seems to be in 1975-76. In the
academic year 1977-78, a new M.Sc. programme called ‘M.Sc. in Mathematics
with Specialization in Computer Science’ was introduced. It coexisted with the
earlier M.Sc. (Mathematics) programme.
Till the academic year 2003-2004, the department used to conduct its own
entrance test for admission to its M.Sc. programmes. Since the academic year
2004-05, the admission is through a national examination called JAM (Joint
Admission to M.Sc.) which is conducted jointly by all the seven IITs.
Vision:
Major goal of the department is to be among the best mathematics
departments in the country and to establish an international reputation as a
centre for research and teaching in mathematics. Since its establishment, the
Department of Mathematics has developed gradually and advanced in various
directions and is currently one of the largest Mathematics department of
country. Research goals aim to create an environment that supports exhaustive
and unprecedented research. Teaching goals work towards building
interdisciplinary programmes with other departments within IIT Bombay. They
will also help to groom a well trained student as scientific manpower for quality
national as well as international programmes. The research pursued in the
Department of Mathematics includes a quite wide spectrum of interests in both
mathematics and statistics. Major research areas include Algebra, Analysis,
Combionatrics, Number Theory, Probability, Statistics and many others
11
Faculty:
We are proud to have among us distinguished faculty members, as a part of the
department. They are responsible for shaping the department to what it is
today and are definitely, the pillars that keep us standing. They are incredibly
kind and generous, and interaction with them is always joyful and motivational.
