It was a one day fest which was held on the 20th of March and commenced with an inaugural talk.Dr Geetha Venkatraman delivered a speech on ‘Cryptology’ which was attended by a number of students.Dr Geetha’s speechwas extremely informative and a great learning experience for those who attended it. A number of games were also organised by the maths department such as ad mad, shuffle the glass, lucky 7, etc. An investor awareness programme on financial literacy was organized for the students by the Bombay stock exchange which was an excellent opportunity for the students to enhance their knowledge on investment. The Mat lab event (paper presentation) was another event which challenged the students to prove their mettle in the field of mathematics. Papers were presented by a number of students on various topics such as Millennium problems, Monty Carloproblem, Paradoxes and Mathematical biology among others.This was followed by three fun events -The Scavenger hunt, Logical quiz and Pictionary.
‘Avenger and the rise of numbers’- The scavenger hunt was the most interesting and theawaited event. Participants could participate in pairs and they were given fabulous team names such as Hulk, Thor, Spiderwoman, Black widow and so on. Basic knowledge in maths was all that was needed to win the event. The logical quiz was the other fun event which gathered a lot of participation. The quiz had two rounds; the first round was a preliminary round while the second round was an interesting out of the boxquizzing round.
