Description: |
Mathematics Training and Talent Search Programme (M.T. & T.S.) is a national level
four weeks intensive summer training programme in mathematics which has been running
since 1993 in India. This programme is funded by the National Board for Higher Mathe-
matics (NBHM) and is directed by S. Kumaresan since its inception. It has been one of the
most significant and successful training programmes in India and has made an impressive
impact on mathematical scene in India over the years, especially at undergraduate and
post graduate levels. About 170-180 talented students in three different levels, selected
from all over the country, undergo this training programme every year at various centres in
India. The main aim of this programme is to expose bright young minds to the excitement
of doing mathematics, to promote independent mathematical thinking, to prepare them
for higher aspects of mathematics and to improve mathematics teaching in India in long
run.
The main aim of this talk is to look at some of the main features of this programme,
the teaching methodology, its evolution and its impact on mathematical scene in India.
We also look at some of main hurdles and challenges faced, in spite of these challenges,
this programme continues to live up to its expectations.
