This Teachers’ Enrichment Workshop (TEW) aims to familiarize college mathematics teachers with the fundamental concepts of real analysis and group theory. The workshop will emphasize a clear understanding of these topics and focus on simplifying the methods of mathematical proofs for students, while also introducing the abstract nature of mathematics. A key feature of the program is the discussion and tutorial sessions, offering participants the chance to address their queries.
The duration of the TEW is six days. Please note that this workshop is intended for local participants; no accommodation is provided.

Please note that TEW is meant only for the local college teachers. The lectures in this workshop covers specific topics which are relevant for the teachers' classroom instructions. The usual length of the TEW is 5/6 days.  An important component of this programme is the discussion hour during which the teachers will have opportunities to get their doubts cleared.
