Two-day Rural Science Education Training Utility Program (RuSETUP 2024)
A two-day Rural Science Education Training Utility Program (RuSETUP 2024) was organized by CCSHAU COA Bawal commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Indian National Young Academy of Sciences (INYAS) in collaboration with VIBHA Haryana.
As a flagship event of INYAS, the Rural Science Education Training Utility Program (RuSETUP 2024), 25 mathematics teachers from different government schools of Rewari were invited. Dr. Gajendra Pratap Singh from University’s School of Computational and Integrative Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru New Delhi was expert during this programme. This training program primarily focused on applications of computational Vedic mathematics and ancient Indian mathematics. Dr. Singh began by introducing famous ancient Indian mathematicians and providing a brief overview of their contributions. He then covered the life story of Swami Bharti Krishna Tirtha ji and the application of the Sixteen Vedic Sutra in algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. He discussed the work of Acharya Piṅgala (Binary number system and Meru Prastara), Ramanujan’s biography, and other noteworthy works, with an emphasis on ancient knowledge systems.
During the feedback session, participants stressed the need for more programs of this kind in the future, pointing out how fascinating historical calculation techniques are and recommending extended training periods.
