COMBINATORICS: Counting techniques, Recurrence relations.

The content of the sessions will be solving of routine and non-routine problems based on the syllabus of the respective classes introducing them to the nuances of problem solving with the data and for critical and creative thinking.


Charges:

Workshop fee once paid will not be repaid.

  • Participant - Rs. 2000/- (We provide the Tea and Lunch (vegetarian food))
  • Participant with accommodation - Rs. 4000/- (We provide the Tea and BF, Lunch and Dinner (vegetarian food))
  • [Escorts who desire to stay to pay Rs. 3000/- each.] (We provide the Tea and BF, Lunch and Dinner (vegetarian food))

Concessions may be considered in deserving cases.

The benefit of this exercise will be to face the talents exams with confidence and be an introduction to IIT type of problem solving. They will be given test in solving of problems as in Indian and International Olympiads. A certificate of participation to each besides prizes for the three best in each group will also be given.

This will enable the child to perform better with greater self-confidence at the school level in all subjects besides scoring well in the conventional examinations.

For interested participants (limited number only) dormitory accommodation inclusive of breakfast and dinner for the four days will be charged.

Prior registration of at least one week earlier is necessary to attend the classes as administrative arrangements have to be done.
