Independent University Of Moscow
The Independent University of Moscow (IUM) (Russian: Независимый Московский Университет (НМУ)) is a small educational organisation with rather informal status located in Moscow, Russia. It was founded in 1991 by a group of prominent Russian mathematicians that included Vladimir Arnold (chairman) and Sergei Novikov. The IUM consists of the departments of mathematics and theoretical physics and the post-graduate school. Anyone can attend lectures and seminars and become a student after passing 3 exams. The IUM is the only non-state college for preparation of professional mathematicians in Russia. An IUM diploma is recognized by such authoritative mathematical institutions as the Steklov Institute of Mathematics, Harvard University and the Weizmann Institute.
