Board of Governers

The Board of Governors is ultimately responsible for the governance of the Institute. It consists of five members, to be announced soon. Director General of AIMS is the ex-officio senior member.

Committees

Committee of Academic Sponsors (CAS)

It consists of representatives from Higher Education Commission (HEC), Pakistan Science Foundation (PSF), National ICT R&D Fund, National Space Agency of Pakistan (NSAP), National Engineering & Scientific Commission (NESCOM), and Ministry of Science & Technology (MoST). The committee seeks small annual ‘dues’ from these organizations. These funds over time builds up an independent endowment for the Institute's operating budget. Sponsors send their faculty members to participate in the Institute’s programmes to further enhance their professional development.

Committee of Industrial Sponsors (CIS)

A committee of industrialists sponsors researchers and experts from abroad to come to the institute to teach and do research monitored by the International Scientific Advisory Committee.

International Scientific Advisory Committee (ISAC)

The International Scientific Advisory Committee (ISAC) consists of leading researchers from scientifically developed nations. The Committee is responsible for scientific content of programmes. It selects and evaluates programmes and proposals from the mathematical community.

Joint Committee of AF, PakMS & IPMC

The Joint Committee (JC) comprises six members from three well-established and internationally known fora, namely, Algebra Forum (AF), International Pure Mathematics Conference (IPMC) and Pakistan Mathematical Society (PakMS). The Joint Committee organizes various mathematical programmes.

Weekly seminars are held every Wednesday at 12.30 p.m. in room number 29 at the Department of Mathematics, Quaid-e-Azam University, Islamabad. The idea of holding these seminars was given by Professor Qaiser Mushtaq in order to provide a platform for mutual interaction on a wide range of topics. They cover not only mathematics, but science, and other topics of related fields/aspects of education and related research.

The seminars initially began in the year 2005 under the auspices of Professor Qaiser Mushtaq. The charge of these seminars were subsequently taken over by Dr. Shehla Asif in 2006, and then by Ayesha Rafiq in 2009 . More than 180 seminars have been conducted successfully to date.

The success is further promulgated by the fact that students, scholars and educationists may forward their opinions, ideas and suggestions to the in charge of seminars

Programmes

AIMS is an incubator of high class human source. The institute uses its own resources and is a self-earning and self-reliant mathematical hub for Pakistani mathematicians.

Various academic activities such as workshops, seminars, lectures, colloquia and certificate-awarding courses are starting soon. AIMS acquires the services of experts within the country and abroad to offer interesting and useful courses. This programme caters to the needs of students across the country.

Higher Studies

The Institute offers post-graduate one year (two-semester) diploma courses in software engineering. The students from various departments are eligible to register for this course. They will develop soft-wares which will be internationally marketable.

AIMS provides high class supervision to its PhD scholars. The supervisors will be well established foreign and competent national mathematicians.

The Institute organizes schools every year. The principal aim of schools’ programme is to provide training for young researchers in core areas of mathematics. Students meet a number of leading experts in the topic as well as other young researchers working in related areas.

Inauguration

The Advanced Institute of Mathematical Sciences is planning to have its inauguration soon. There will be an opportunity to meet eminent mathematicians, scientists, senior government officials, scholars, senior journalists, industrialists and politicians.

One of the important features of PakMS is to publish PakMS Quarterly Newsletter (about 20 pages).

In over two decades, the Society has grown considerably. Its structure has grown stronger and has become more viable. For its various features/activities, capable & dedicated volunteers are required.

For the PakMS Quart Newsletter, Managing Editor with aforementioned qualities is needed until 31st Dec 2024 (which is extendable with mutual agreement). S/he will work under the rules, regulations and guidance of the PakMS President.

Mathematicians who would like to serve mathematics and its community and help PakMS, are requested to send WhatsApp message at 0300 8540754 by 31.07.2023.

President, PakMS.

The 8th PakMS Gold Medal has been awarded to Late Professor Khwaja Masud, on 19th January 2024 in an investiture ceremony held at the Banquet Hall of the Islamabad Club, Islamabad.

Gian-Carlo Rota: I am often asked why there are so few applied mathematicians in the department at MIT. The reason is that all of MIT is one huge applied mathematics department; you can find applied mathematicians in practicially every department at MIT except mathematics.
