Aim:
The aim of the programme is to expose bright young students to the excitement of doing mathematics, to promote independent mathematical thinking and to prepare them for higher aspects of mathematics.
Academic Programme:
The programme will be at three levels: Level O, Level I, Level II. In Level O there will be courses in Linear Algebra, Analysis and Number Theory/Discrete Mathematics. In Levels I and II there will be courses on Algebra, Analysis and Topology. There will be seminars by students at all Level.
The faculty will be active mathematicians with a commitment to teaching and from various leading institutions. The aim of the instructions is not to give routine lectures and presentation of theorem-proofs but stimulate the participants to thing and discover mathematical results.
Eligibility:
Level O: Second year undergraduate (B. Sc. / Stat. / B. Tech. etc) students with Mathematics as one of their subjects. Good first year students may also apply.
Level I: Final year undergraduate (B. Sc. / B. Stat. / B. Tech. etc.) students with Mathematics as one of their subjects.
