TIFR Centre for Applicable Mathematics

The TIFR Centre for Applicable Mathematics is part of the School of Mathematics of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research.

The centre originated from the school's efforts since the mid-1970s to develop areas in applicable mathematics. In fact, B. V. Sreekantan had proposed setting up this centre during the "Fifth Plan period"[when?].[unreliable source?] Along with the National Centre for Radio Astrophysics and the National Centre for Biological Sciences, the centre was established in the two decades following the 1970s. Many renowned mathematicians from India and overseas[which?] have contributed to the centre's development.

At the centre, research at advanced level[which?] is currently[when?] pursued in both theoretical and numerical aspects of differential equations, especially the following subtopics:

The centre offers consulting at the individual and institutional levels in applying theory to engineering-related problems and in exposition of underlying mathematics.

The centre has had an active role in training students in areas of applicable mathematics through the IISc-TIFR Joint Programme. Following the deemed university status of TIFR, the TIFR Centre has offered its own programs since 2004, which are:

Among its other doctoral programs, the center has an integrated PhD program in mathematics.[unreliable source?] Eligible students for this program receive a monthly fellowship of Rs 21000 for the first year.[unreliable source?].

The centre has a program to invite visiting professors, both for disseminating new topics through lecture courses and for research collaboration.

The centre also offers post-doctoral fellowships and possibilities of short-term visits.
