Mathematics is like a language. If you speak it, you can think about things differently. But unfortunately, mathematics is seen by most students as a subject to be studied for examinations or as a tool for solving some problems. Even those who have an interest in Mathematics do not have a platform to discuss interesting examples and results with experts or other like- minded students.
With this background, we would like to start a “MATH CIRCLE KOLKATA” a place where young students can be exposed to the joy of doing Mathematics. We want to help in building mathematical confidence and ability in our students. We offer a comprehensive curriculum with a unique blend of problem solving and skill building character. Kolkata Math Circle is a part of a pan-India initiative with the partnership of TCG CREST Kolkata. The aim of the “MATH CIRCLE KOLKATA” is to nurture and mentor students interested in the Mathematical Sciences. It is a forum to learn and discuss Mathematics without being limited to any particular examination. We hope to target high school students with an aptitude and natural interest in the Mathematical Sciences.
