A feast in store for maths lovers

IT Was a "calculated" effort all right, but one that was aimed at looking beyond the numbers game, Nice years after it was first launched by a group of like-minded people, the Mathematical Science Foundation (MSF) is now more than just a place for mathematics lovers.
A registered mathematics society, the MSF may have been formed with the vision of creating the facilities of a Harvard or MIT in India, but it has clearly come a long way form the small society that it started out as at Delhi University St. Stephen's College. Come November and the MSF will once again be celebrating its annual event, "A life of mathematics". A chance for mathematics lovers from the Capital's colleges to come together
and brainstorm on the subject, this age, Sir Michael Atiyah, make a presentation during the week-long event that begins on November 7.
The MSF currently offers the masters of science programmes of the University of Houston in Mathematics, Mathematical Finance and Computational Mathematics and Programmes in IT Simulations.

In the months to come, the MSF hoping to expand its activities, Some of the programmes planned include a Bachelor Mathematics with a minor in Economics, Finance, Physics, Computing and Applications, an MS in Systems Engineering programme From the University of Houston and a specialised capsule course of schools, colleges and the corporate sector.
