Math in Moscow(MiM) is a one-semester study abroad program for North American and European undergraduates held at the Independent University of Moscow (IUM) in Moscow, Russia. The program consists mainly of math courses that are taught in English. The program was first offered in 2001, since 2008 it is a joint program of the Independent University of Moscow, Moscow Center for Continuous Mathematical Education, the Higher School of Economics. The program has hosted over 200 participants, including students from Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Berkeley, Cornell, Yale, McGill, Toronto and Montreal. The MiM program is run by Yulij S. Ilyashenko, President of the Independent University of Moscow, and Irina M. Paramonova, Program Director.

Curriculum
The primary curriculum is entirely mathematical, drawing from every field but logic and probability, and the courses are divided into three groups according to the needed prerequisites. All courses require at least a semester each of analysis and linear algebra as prerequisites. Courses at the first level require no more than this basic formal background, but are generally more intensive than their equivalents at North American universities; intermediate courses correspond to senior-level offerings at the best American and Canadian institutions; and the advanced courses are graduate-level.
 * Elementary courses:
 * Combinatorics
 * Programming: from an art to a science
 * Topology I
 * Advanced Linear Algebra
 * Basic Algebra
 * Geometric Foundations of Analysis
 * Non-Euclidean geometry
 * Ordinary Differential Equations
 * Intermediate courses:
 * Advanced Algebra
 * Differential Geometry
 * Calculus on Manifolds
 * Complex Analysis
 * Ergodic Theory of Dynamical Systems
 * Knot Theory
 * Algebraic Number Theory
 * Topology II: Introduction to Homology and Cohomology Theory
 * Algebraic Geometry
 * Basic Representation Theory
 * Computability and Complexity
 * Advanced courses:

 * Introduction to Commutative and Homological Algebra
 * Mathematical Catastrophe Theory
 * Riemann Surfaces

In addition to the mathematical curriculum, students are offered electives in Russian literature, Russia history, mathematical and scientific history, and Russian language.

Features
The MiM semester lasts fifteen weeks with fourteen weeks of teaching and one week of exams. Math courses are lectured by professors of the Independent University of Moscow and the Math Departement of National Research University Higher School of Economics. The cultural part of the program includes organized trips to Saint Petersburg and to the Golden Ring towns Vladimir and Suzdal.

Each semester the American Mathematical Society awards 5 "Math in Moscow" scholarships provided by the National Science Foundation to US undergraduates. . The Canadian Mathematical Society offers one or two NSERC(Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada) scholarships to Canadian students.

The "Math in Moscow" experience is often reviewed favorably by North American students and their departments.

Course structure
The courses deviate in structure from standard courses in the United States, Canada, and Europe. The Russian pedagogical tradition tries to develop active participation of students. Classes are designed as active dialogs between the students and the teacher, which is more easily achieved in the program's small classes of two to ten students. Each math course runs three hours once a week: an hour and a half of lecture and an hour and a half of exercises. Students may choose any number of courses, in practice between three and six from the mathematical curriculum. Most of the courses are given at the IUM, located in a building in the heart of Moscow near the historic Arbat. , some courses, that are joint with the HSE M.Sc program, take place in the HSE building.
