Projects

Recently, in Pratishthana, two projects supported by MHRD have been started. One is on e-learning[5] and other on the use of free open source software in Mathematics education (FOOSME).[6] In the e-learning project video broadcasting of online Maths lectures is being done. The topics are Ring Theory and Complex Analysis. These lectures are at Undergraduate levels. The FOSSME project is all about exploring FOSS for Maths Education. There were 3 national level workshops held on FOSS for Maths education, Scilab,[7] Advanced and LaTeX[8] Advanced.
