Our combined student strength is at a record high comprising of 917 BS-MS, 158 Integrated-PhD (IPhD), 3 MS in space physics and 351 Doctoral students. To maintain the momentum of growth, we are now in the final stages of introducing two new departments, namely, the department of humanities and the department of computer science. These departments will expand the horizon to explore newer research paradigms in one hand and to develop a holistic human resource for the future on the other. IISER Kolkata is committed towards excellence in science and research and has shown exemplary performance in the year 2018- 19. Our faculty members in all disciplines have embarked on a mission to address the most relevant scientific problems and have been able to contribute significantly, resulting in around 255 publications in the reporting year.

    Indian Journal of History of Science, 47.3 (2012) 473-512 MATHEMATICS AND MATHEMATICAL RESEARCHES IN INDIA DURING FIFTH TO TWENTIETH CENTURIES — PROFILES AND PROSPECTS* A K BAG** (Received 1 September 2012) The Birth Centenary Celebration of Professor M. C. Chaki (1912- 2007), former First Asutosh Birth Centenary Professor of Higher Mathematics and a noted figure in the community of modern geometers, took place recently on 21 July 2012 in Kolkata. The year 2012 is also the 125th Birth Anniversary Year of great mathematical prodigy, Srinivas Ramanujan (1887-1920), and the Government of India has declared 2012 as the Year of Mathematics. To mark the occasion, Dr. A. K. Bag, FASc., one of the students of Professor Chaki was invited to deliver the Key Note Address. The present document made the basis of his address. Key words: Algebra, Analysis, Binomial expansion, Calculus, Differential equation, Fluid and solid mechanics, Function, ISI, Kerala Mathematics, Kut..taka, Mathemtical Modeling, Mathematical Societies - Calcutta, Madras and Allahabad, Numbers, Probability and Statistics, TIFR, Universities of Calcutta, Madras and Bombay, Vargaprakr.ti. India has been having a long tradition of mathematics. The contributions of Vedic and Jain mathematics are equally interesting. However, our discussion starts from 5th century onwards, so the important features of Indian mathematics are presented here in phases to make it simple. 500-1200 The period: 500-1200 is extremely interesting in the sense that this is known as the Golden (Siddha–ntic) period of Indian mathematics.
