The Chennai Mathematical Institute
Chennai Mathematical Institute (CMI), a university under Section 3 of the UGC Act 1956, is recognized both within the country and abroad as one of the important centres in India for research and teaching in mathematical sciences. CMI is set up under a Trust and is managed by a Governing Council made up of eminent personalities from both academic and non-academic backgrounds. The academic matters of the Institute are guided by its Research Advisory Committee consisting of highly respected scientists. The teaching programmes are overseen by the Academic Council, consisting of senior faculty from CMI and other leading institutions across India. The members of the Governing Council, Research Advisory Committee and Academic Council are listed on the front and back inside covers.

Research at CMI
Professor C. S. Seshadri, f.r.s., an internationally renowned mathematician, has headed the Institute since its inception. The Institute has a talented group of faculty members who have strong academic ties with reputed institutions in India and abroad. The Institute also attracts a regular stream of academic visitors, both from India and abroad. The main areas of research in Mathematics pursued at the Institute are algebra, analysis, differential equations, geometry and topology. In Computer Science, the main areas of research are formal methods in the specification and verification of software systems, design and analysis of algorithms, computational complexity theory and computer security. In Physics, research is being carried out mainly in quantum field theory, string theory and mathematical physics. The Institute has a well established Ph.D. Programme in Mathematics and Computer Science.

Placement
Students from CMI have gone on to pursue further studies at the best academic institutions in India and abroad. These include Caltech, Chicago, MIT, Princeton, U Penn and Yale in USA, ENS Paris, Univ Paris-Sud and Univ Bordeaux in France, the Max Planck Institutes and Humboldt University in Germany and the Harish-Chandra Research Institute, IITs, IMSc and ISI in India.
Though the majority of students from the Institute continue in Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics, CMI graduates have also moved into areas such as financial mathematics (at IFMR), management (at IIM) and economics (both in India and abroad). Students from CMI have also been placed in some of the best software companies in India.
