Chennai: Indian Institute of Technology Madras will launch a course on ‘Out of the Box Thinking’ through Mathematics to encourage innovative thinking. The Institute is targeting as many as One Million School and College students, besides working professionals and researchers as well through this course, which is a first-of-its-kind initiative in the country.

These courses will be offered in Online Mode free of cost through IIT Madras Pravartak Technologies Foundation, sec 8 company of IIT Madras, which will also issue the Grade Certification for students who take the examinations at a nominal fee. The final examination will be a proctored one conducted at centres in select cities across India.

The Course is being made available in online mode, free of cost, to everyone in India as well as in foreign countries. The four graded independent levels of the courses will be easily accessible to students, professionals and researchers.

The course will present multiple approaches to problem solving, debunking a myth that problem solving is only for a select few. It will introduce new techniques in an easy-to-understand fashion, preparing users to face real-life projects with confidence and ease.

With logic being the undercurrent in the study of mathematics, it is essential to develop broader thinking, through its applications in the expanding world of technology. From solving a fun Sudoku puzzle to completing an important scheduled project, the logic of working is much more important than the arithmetic involved in it. This requires creative thinking and a broader perception that is often known as ‘out of the box’ thinking.

The Courses will be taught by Mr. Sadagopan Rajesh, Mathematics Educator and founder-director of Aryabhatta Institute of Mathematical Sciences. He has been conducting nurture programs from primary to high school students, inculcating in them a love for problem-solving, thus leading to Mathematical and other Olympiads.

Mr. Sadagopan Rajesh has been a resource person for several Mathematical Olympiad exposure camps at regional, national, and international levels, apart from conducting several teacher orientations and enrichment programs.

The First batch of the course is scheduled to commence on July 1, 2022. Registrations will close on June 24, 2022. Those interested can register through the following link - https://www.pravartak.org.in/out-of-box-thinking.html.
