The Department of Mathematics at Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi (IIIT-Delhi) announces its first summer program – Mathematics Summer Program at IIIT-Delhi. This programme is designed for mathematics enthusiasts who have studied mathematics for two or more years at undergraduate or postgraduate level. This program will be completely funded by IIIT-Delhi. The participants will attend the lectures on various topics in higher mathematics by experts in the respective fields. They will get the chance to talk with IIIT-Delhi faculty members about mathematics to deepen their understanding and expertise of the subject. We believe that sincere candidates will benefit from this program by having a broader perspective on higher mathematics and its applications in other scientific domains. Therefore, we strongly encourage the students – who are interested in Mathematics and hope to pursue a career in this field – to apply.
1. Crash courses on selected topics in Algebra, Analysis, Geometry and Topology.
2. Problem-solving sessions and group discussion.
The selection will solely be on the basis of merit, taking into account both academic records and a recommendation letter from a mathematics Professor who knows the individual well.
During the training at IIIT-Delhi campus, meals and accommodation will be provided to selected candidates upon request in their application.
Coming Soon..

Title of the talk : Why Primes?
Abstract: Primes are building blocks of integers and are quite mysterious in nature. Understanding primes and their properties has been a big challenge for mathematicians.In this lecture, I will focus on some importance of understanding primes and talk about some applications of prime properties in mathematics and in the modern world.

Title of the talk : The Sphere Packing Problem - a Breakthrough
Abstract: In this talk I will explain the Sphere packing problem in an n-dimensional Euclidean space. We will define the density of a 'packing' of space by congruent spheres. The problem is to maximise the density. We discuss the cases of dimension 1,2 and 3. With an interesting analysis using Fourier, the general problem becomes one of finding a 'magic function' to get an upper bound for the density.
×The Department of Mathematics provides a vibrant environment for research and teaching in mathematics. The department was set up in 2017 and currently consists of 18 faculty members and over 25 PhD students. The department offers a Ph.D. program in pure and applied Mathematics. The department has a four-year undergraduate program: B.Tech. in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics (CSAM).
