NMIMS’ School of Mathematics, Applied Statistics & Analytics aims to foster employable mathematicians, applied statisticians, data analysts, and Artificial Intelligence practitioners who have developed a passion for mathematics and statistics and its numerous applications in the real world. The school walks with a mission to teach Mathematics and Statistics in their purest form, as well as new age derivatives of these disciplines, using a variety of enabling technologies such as computers, animations, data visualizations, simulations, and other tools to make mathematics and statistics enjoyable. The students will also be exposed to humanities topics that are relevant to their own growth.
On the announcement, Dr. Sushil Kulkarni, Dean, School of Mathematics, Applied Statistics & Analytics, said, “In the age of data clouds and data lakes, mathematics and statistics is a fast growing science. To obtain useful insights from data, statistical approaches need to be applied, making it animperative pillar in the field of data science. Traditional tools of Mathematics, Applied Statistics & Analytics are being modified to create new techniques and methods to address challenges across industries. Understanding the evolving paradigms it has become even more vital to prepare our youngsters for the future and enable them with the right skillsets. NMIMS has uniquely crafted the courses and their curriculum by taking into account the growing need of data analysis and the future of all industries that bank on it. “
Course Details:
B.Sc.(Applied Mathematical Computing)
The three year course being offered at the Mumbai Campus covers diverse areas like Financial Mathematics, Mathematical Biology, Machine Learning and Deep learning. The major focus of the curriculum is to help students acquire the capacity to take a problem in non-mathematical form and turn it into mathematical language. This will allow them to apply their mathematical knowledge and abilities to devise a solution and then interpret it in real-world terms. Students’ technology abilities will be crucial as they present and evaluate data for a research component. The Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematical Computing at NMIMS focuses on areas where Mathematical Sciences, Computing, and Finance are most applicable, underlining the connections between theory and practise.

About School of Mathematics, Applied Statistics & Analytics
Over the years, different departments within the school of science recorded robust growth both in terms of student enrolment & graduation, staff attraction & retention, research publication & patent registration, and student placements in academia and industry. In the last couple of years, the SDSOS launched new undergraduate B.Sc. programmes in Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Applied Psychology, Animation and VFX among others. The University leadership decided to carve a new school by merging the program of the School of Mathematical Sciences and the five programs of Department of Statistics of the Sunandan Divatia School of Science. The new NMIMS school emerging out of this restructuring initiative is named as the School of Mathematics, Applied Statistics and Analytics (SOMASA). The goal of SOMASA is to be a Center of Excellence in the domain of Applied Computational Mathematics, Applied Statistics and Analytics providing quality education and research.
Established in 1981, NMIMS is today recognized as a globally reputed university with strong industry linkages. It offers multiple disciplines across eight campuses that consist of 17 specialized schools, more than 17,000 full-time students, and 800+ full-time faculty members, ten faculty members with Fulbright Scholarship and Humboldt International Scholarship for post-doctoral researchers. The Shri Vile Parle Kelavani Mandal (SVKM) laid the foundation stone of this esteemed university, with the aim to cater to the rising demand of management institutes in the country. It is known for its consistent academic quality and research-focused approach towards holistic education. SVKM’s NMIMS has been granted Category-I University status by Graded Autonomy Regulation 2018 by MHRD/UGC, and NMIMS Mumbai Campus is NAAC accredited with A+ (CGPA of 3.59.)
