The College offers short-term add-on courses to supplement learning in art, culture, science and awareness building programmes.

Mathematical Skills and Everyday Life Problems
Coordinator: Dr Ruchika Batra

The programme has been designed to develop mathematical skills and show the beauty and importance of mathematics in the life of the common man. The course addresses the needs of learning mathematics for individuals from all walks of life, and serves an essential input for the personality development of any individual.

To learn the programme, one needs basic logic of human nature and level of mathematics up to the secondary level.

The course is designed with the following aims and objectives:

1. To enhance mathematical, in particulars numerical, ability.
2. To justify that learning mathematics is a joy and not a phobia.
3. To enable the participants to solve day-to-day problems using mathematical logic.
4. To show how knowledge of basic mathematics and essence of fundamentals of mathematics serve keys for the development of rational thinking.
5. To prove that no part of activity of human culture can escape the use of essentials of mathematics.

Course Content:

• Vedic Mathematics and Ancient Mathematicians
• Number System
• Graph Theory and Networks
• Fractal Geometry
• Fuzzy Set Theory
• Mathematical Logic and Boolean Algebras
• Basics of Programming and Modelling

The course will be taught over 11-12 weeks, 3 hours per week. The contents will be taught with a focus on increasing awareness of mathematical developments going on everyday (eg discussion of Einstein Theory of relativity going on now-a-days), relevant to real world problems. Emphasis would also be given on visual interpretation of the concepts and work in math lab would be an essential ingredient of the course.

The course would be conducted at the premises of Ramjas College after 2 PM. You can check the College notice board and College website for more details.
