Mathematics is a science; it is an art; it is a precise and concise language, and it is a great problem-solving tool. Thus, mathematics is the SALT of life. To learn a language, such as English or Russian, first, you have to learn its alphabet, grammar, and syntax; you also have to build up a decent vocabulary to speak, read, or write. Each takes a lot of time and practice.
M.Sc. Mathematics is a two year (four-semester) programme, minimum eligibility is a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics with 50% marks and above.
