Title: AI and Math Education

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized several industries, including education. In this presentation, we'll explore how  AI can  transform the way students learn and teachers teach. We will explore some tools for the same.

Title: Exploring Symmetry 

We will introduce the concept of symmetry intuitively and explore planar symmetry, symmetry of strip patterns, wallpaper patterns and symmetry in art/around us.  

Title: How to discover the Rogers--Ramanujan Identities 

The famous Rogers--Ramanujan identities were sent by Ramanujan to Hardy in a letter more than a 100 years ago. In the next few years, the identities were circulated amongst mathematicians but nobody, including Ramanujan, could prove them. Then, while riffling through back copies of a journal, Ramanujan discovered them in an obscure paper written in 1894 by the English mathematician Rogers. This spurred both Rogers and Ramanujan to publish their own proofs. In this talk we describe how one can discover these identities starting from a continued fraction related to the golden mean and using an idea which Euler used related to his proof that the number of primes is infinite. These are ideas you can share with your bright students so that they know some of Ramanujan's mathematics.

Title: Create, Visualize and Explore : Transform Mathematics Classrooms with Technology

In this session, we will discover how technology can empower students to create, visualize, and explore mathematical concepts with a level of depth, interactivity, and personalization that was previously unimaginable. Through this exploration, the author aims to inspire a fundamental shift in the way we teach mathematics, enriching the educational experience for both educators and students.

Title: Enhancing Algebra Education – Applying Vedic Mathematics Techniques

Vedic Mathematics, a set of ancient techniques for rapid numerical computation, has garnered attention for its remarkable feats of mental calculation, but its potential applications in algebraic contexts have remained underexplored in academic literature. Our exploration reveals that Vedic Mathematics offers powerful tools for algebraic operations, encompassing the core functions of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, while also extending to encompass the intricacies of factorization and determining the Highest Common Factor (HCF) and Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) within algebraic expressions.

Furthermore, we argue that incorporating Vedic Mathematics into the pedagogical toolkit of school teachers yields significant advantages. Notably, Vedic Mathematics techniques provide students with more accessible, memorable, and concise methods compared to conventional approaches. The simplicity and clarity of notation in Vedic Mathematics can greatly enhance students' understanding of algebra and facilitate their mastery of mathematical concepts.
