MINI-MATHEMATICS TRAINING AND TALENT SEARCH PROGRAMME
(MINI-MTTS)
December 9-21, 2013
About MTTS: The mathematics training
and talent search (MTTS) programme is one of the most popular and significant
summer training programme in India. MTTS has been running since 1993 and has
made an impressive impact on mathematical scene in the country. The aim of this
programme is to promote mathematical thinking and expose young minds to the
excitement of doing mathematics.
Every
year the MTTS-headquarter receive a large number of applications from all parts
of the country. Due to limitation of resources and seats, a large number of
deserving students do not get an opportunity to participate in main camp of the
MTTS. In order to provide opportunities to more number of students at regional
levels, a Mini-MTTS programme has been initiated and which runs on the same
line as the main MTTS.
A
two week Mini Mathematics Training and Talent Search (Mini-MTTS) Programme will
be organized during December 9-21, 2013 at the School of Basic Sciences, IIT
Bhubaneswar to provide an opportunity to Mathematics students in the Eastern
Region, in particular the state of Odisha for imparting training in basics of
Mathematics.
Academic
Programmes: There will be courses in Foundations, Linear Algebra and Real
Analysis. The aim of the instructions is not to give routine lectures but to
involve the students in participatory learning and to think and discover mathematical
results. The faculty members are active mathematicians with a commitment to
teaching and are from various leading institutions.
Eligibility: First year or Second year
B.Sc. (Hons) students in Mathematics.
