ABOUT
Mathematics is not just mechanical calculations of numeracy or mere plugging of borrowed formulas existing for ages. It is a study of facts of numeracy
and logic, where logic is interwoven in the study of mathematics. It provides an opportunity to explore self-assessment, data processing, validation, to
develop broader thinking by dealing with a variety of problems which lead to multiple solutions. The joy of discovery of this process, helps realize the

OUT OF THE BOX THINKING THROUGH MATHS

Logic being the undercurrent in the study of mathematics, it is essential to develop a broader thinking, through its applications in the expanding world
of technology. From solving a fun sudoku puzzle to completing an important scheduled project, the logic of working is much more important than the
arithmetic involved in it. This requires creative thinking and a broader perception that is often known as Out of the box thinking. Out of the box thinking
or lateral thinking is solving problems through an indirect and creative approach, using reasoning that is not immediately obvious, and involving ideas
that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic. In this unique course, out of the box thinking is emphasized through
rediscovering the known and unknown facts of mathematics logically, with an interesting broader perception of the manner of doing it.’

FOR WHOM
These courses are easily accessible to your school children, professionals and researchers. The four graded independent levels of the courses present
multiple approaches to problem solving, debunking the myth that problem solving is for the elite. It introduces new techniques in a easy to understand
