The candidate should be creative and have a desire to learn.
Applications are invited from motivated students (UG/PG/Research) currently studying any of the areas given below:
Mathematics |
Physics |
Computer Science |

Economics |
The projects can broadly be classified in the following categories (Some examples of possible projects are provided under each category):
- Finance:- Designing a Mutual Fund, Simulating option pricing models
- Space Science:- Launch of a Space Craft, Maneuvering a Satellite
- Computer Science:- Search Engines, Image Processing
- Mathematical Biology:- Population Dynamics, Genetics
- Statistics:- Monte Carlo Techniques, Waiting Time Problems
- Applications of Number Theory:- Encryption, Error Correction
-
Selected students will be mentored by experienced faculty.
-
The internships will involve a mix of classes, computer labs, group meetings, and online interaction. It is expected that on average the interns will meet with their mentors once a week.
- Each intern will work, in a group, on a project from one of the categories listed above. (While filling the application form, please rank the categories in order of preference. The final allotment, however, will be made by MSF.)
-
Interns will also work on projects in Mathematics Education, in which they will create interactive and inspiring lessons for school students.
- The precise schedule will be worked out after the selection process, with the aim of creating a schedule that can satisfy as many of the selected students' constraints as possible.
- The venues will similarly be finalized at that stage.
The last date for applying is 7 September 2009.
