This Teachers’ Enrichment Workshop (TEW) is aimed primarily for mathematics teachers at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. While research scholars in mathematics may also apply, they will be given lower preference in the selection. The sessions will be focused towards improving the understanding of the fundamental concepts and results in Linear Algebra, Partial Differential Equations and Fourier Analysis. Problem solving is the key in learning mathematics. So participants are required to work on problem solving every day. Hence, only those who are interested in learning and working on problems on a daily basis are welcome to apply.
