Ramanujan Club

Young undergraduate students are used to learning most sciences by either observing various natural phenomena or through multiple experiments and models designed to simulate them. However, this is not the case with theoretical sciences, which are often abstract in nature. For example, students find it challenging to comprehend abstract mathematics when they encounter it for the first time. From a pedagogical viewpoint, instructors also struggle to motivate students towards such abstract concepts. Consequently, even bright students are either intimidated or disillusioned by these topics.

The Ramanujan Club aims to tackle this problem by providing enthusiastic and analytically-oriented students early exposure to exciting concepts in theoretical sciences with the help of carefully formulated projects or questions.

In doing so, the club intends to kindle the scientific curiosity of young undergraduate students and foster the spirit of innovation and interdisciplinary research among these students. Some motivating questions could include.

How does an MRI Scan estimate the size and orientation of an object inside the body?
How are weather predictions made?
How are election results predicted?
How can the efficiency of communication networks be maximized?
How can one develop strategies to win a multiplayer game?

The Ramanujan Laboratory will be effectively utilized for the fulfillment of this purpose through the implementation of the following key initiatives.

Designing physical models for illustrating abstract concepts
Development of computer programs, graphical models, experiments, and algorithms for explaining core concepts.

Through these initiatives, we wish to deepen conceptual understanding and enhance the overall learning experience among undergraduate students.
