Indian Institute for Studies in Mathematics, or IISMA, is an organization entirely devoted to the promotion of mathematics at all levels. 

Mathematics is the language of nature and an indispensable part of our life. We firmly believe it is essential to broaden and deepen the understanding of mathematical concepts among the students right from the beginning, outside the rigid framework of standard school syllabus. In the course of time, a student must develop an intuitive approach, critical thinking and a quick hand at calculations.

To test their understanding of mathematical concepts, and to prepare them to face competitive exams, IISMA is organising a Maths Talent Search Examination or MTSE for the students of classes III to IX in English and Marathi. Team IISMA earnestly solicits your co-operation in its endeavour to honour and inspire the mathematical talent in the young.

Mission

  • To develop a strong base with deeper understanding, and strengthen theoretical and applied dimensions of mathematics.
  • To equip the students with a set of conceptual skills, intuitive tricks and fast methods to make them more confident and consequently expel the baseless fear of mathematics.
  • To look for the Mathematical talent in the young, and to honour and inspire the talented young by awarding scholarships.

Why MTSE?

  • Compels one to think critically.
  • Enhances one’s reasoning.
  • Tests one’s confidence.
  • With negative marking, gives exposure to the real competitive test.
