Importance of Mathematics
Raising A Mathematician
Mathematics is a science fundamental to all other sciences
It is one of the oldest subjects, and is constantly being rejuvenated
It is very much alive as it heads into the 21st century
It has applications in many fields, as well as being linked to increased learning and understanding in general
Helps in logical thinking and improves the reasoning ability of a person
Enables one to approach situations from different angles and dig out the best possible solution
Provide guidance to hone their
skills and talent
To search mathematical
talent(Age group:13-15)
Mentor young talent
Objective of ‘Raising A Mathematician’
Raising A Mathematician
Raising A Mathematician
Motto of ‘Raising A Mathematician’• Our present day educational system gives less room
for developing 'critical thinking' and 'research mentality' at a young age due to which many who are even though capable, do not pursue research
• The intention is to move out of conventional 'teaching' methods and enable a 'learning' process where the children can explore and look at mathematics with a different perspective and at a different level
• Through this program it is intended to induce a research mentality in children
Highlights of the program
Raising A Mathematician
Conceptual understanding of secondary/higher secondary level math along with reasoning
Proving theorems so as to understand the thought process behind the same
Learning Mathematical concepts beyond the curriculum and encouraging its application in daily life
Group discussions on various Mathematical topics to improve the skills of communication
Creating a pool of like-minded students who can share their knowledge base, encourage, motivate and get motivated by the fellow students
Target of the program
Raising A Mathematician
At the end of the program, the student will be able to understand higher secondary level Mathematics and correlate different topics, thereby getting a holistic view of the subject
The student will be able to appreciate the application of Mathematical concepts in varied areas and hence understand those subjects better too
Areas covered under the program
