Raising a Mathematician Foundation


Motto of ‘RAM Foundation’

• Our present day educational system gives less room fordeveloping 'critical thinking' and 'research mentality' at a youngage due to which many who are even though capable, do notpursue research.

• The intention is to move out of conventional 'teaching' methodsand enable a 'learning' process where the children can exploreand look at mathematics with a different perspective and at adifferent level.

• Through this program it is intended to induce a researchmentality in children.

Provide guidance to hone their skills and

talent
