Explaining the need for such courses, Prof. V.

In this unique course, such thinking is emphasized through rediscovering the known and unknown facts of mathematics logically with an interesting broader perception of the manner of doing it."
The Courses will be taught by Mr. Sadagopan Rajesh, Mathematics Educator and founder-director of Aryabhatta Institute of Mathematical Sciences.
The course will feature four graded independent levels that will be easily accessible to students, professionals and researchers. The course will present multiple approaches to problem solving.
