Applications have been invited for 18 {+t} {+h} Mathematics Training and Talent Search programme (MT & TS 2010) funded by National Board for Higher Mathematics. The objective of the programme is to expose young students to the excitement of problem-solving, to promote independent mathematical thinking and to prepare them for higher aspects of mathematics.
The MTTS programme will conducted be at three levels?level ?O', level I and level II. In level ?O', there will be courses in linear algebra, analysis and number theory / discrete mathematics. In level I and II there will be courses on algebra, analysis and topology. There will be seminars by students at all levels.
The faculty will be active mathematics with a commitment to teaching and from various leading institutions and they will give instructions to stimulate the participants to think and discovers mathematical results.
Eligibility for Level ?O': first year undergraduate (B.Sc./ B.Stat./ B.Tech.) students with mathematics as one of their subjects.
Level I: second and final year undergraduate (B.Sc./ B.Stat./ B.Tech.) students with mathematics as one of their subjects.
Level II- first year postgraduate (M.Sc./ M. Stat., M.Tech.) students with mathematics as one of the subjects.
