The CSIR Centre for Mathematical Modelling and Computer Simulation (C-MMACS) is a unit of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research. The centre is involved in developing modelling approaches for illuminating the structure and evolution of complex systems.

History

In the late 1980s the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research realised the increasing importance of mathematical modelling and computer based simulations that were critical for understanding complex systems, which were used in a wide array of scientific research. Various fields that were previously thought to be purely observational and qualitative now needed the use of such technologies.

It was established in 1988 in the Belur Campus of the National Aerospace Laboratories
