Teacher’s Enrichment Workshops (TEW) are conducted by NCM with the financial support from Advancement of Arts and Sciences from India, which is known as ARSI. This program aims to help university and college teachers improve their presentation skills for teaching mathematical concepts in core subjects like Partial Differential Equations and how they are used in real life.
This course will help the participants to learn advanced mathematics in an enjoyable way. The main focus will be on better understanding of the fundamental concepts in these three subjects and their applications. The resource persons for the proposed TEW are well established faculty members from renowned institutes, all well versed with teaching skills.
