About Insight
This workshop aims at presenting the scientific thought process that has been followed for centuries in our country. All major areas of study from Mathematics and Astronomy to Logic and Grammar are influenced by this thought process. The highlight of this thought process is that it improves the ability to think differently, yet quickly; and communicate precisely. This is embedded in the techniques used for Mathematics, Logic and Astronomy. This workshop will train the students in these techniques through short-cuts and mental calculations that the students can effectively use in their day-to-day activities. In turn, these techniques will enhance in depth understanding of academics, lateral thinking and memory.
Topics in this workshop
Indian Mathematics
- Place Value System
- Arithmetic – multiplication, squaring, division, square-root, divisibility and other short-cuts
- Algebra – solution of simultaneous and quadratic equations
Logic
- Introduction to Tarka
- Classification from Tarka perspective
- Intellect, apprehension, perception and inference
- Inference structure
- Defective reasoning
Astronomy
- The planets and the Stars
- The Indian Calendar
Let us hope there are many among our youth who take this seriously and contribute some increments to modern science thru their lateral thinking.
Please do conduct many more events like this
congrats for ur efforts.
