DATE & TIME: 17 June 2024 to 28 June 2024
VENUE: Ramanujan Lecture Hall, ICTS

The summer school is intended for women students studying in first year B.A/B.Sc./B.E./B.Tech. or equivalent degree and having Mathematics as one of the major subjects/courses, during the academic year 2023-2024. Over a period of two weeks, the school aims to help the students gain broader exposure to problem solving skills in mathematics and statistics at the undergraduate level.

All selected participants will need to attend the entire two week duration of the school.

Specific topics that will be covered are:

Linear Algebra

Calculus

Probability and Statistics

Programming in R

There will be problem solving sessions across topics.

Each topic will have a brief introductory lecture session on a focus area followed by problem-solving sessions on it. The participants are expected to work together to solve the problem sheets that will be given out in these sessions.

Each day will also feature two popular science lectures by distinguished researchers. The topics will range from across all sciences and the lectures will be made accessible to all the participants. Other daily events will include post dinner Problem solving sessions and discussions with popular science speakers of the day. Further, there will be many opportunities to interact with women scientists who will visit the program for short periods.

We welcome women students from all regions of the country.
