Raising A Mathematician

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’



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


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


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


Similarity, Triangles & Circles Trigonometry (special mention to ancient Indian Mathematics)

Co-ordinate Geometry & straight lines

Number Theory

Averages & Dispersion (with special mention to sports)

Correlation & Regression

Progressions Equations - Simple, Quadratic and solving Linear Indeterminate Equations

Permutations & Combinations

Sets, Functions

Introduction to Calculus Logarithms
