Description
Mathematical Model Exhibition on occasion of Prof A.R. Rao’s 116th birth anniversary was organized by Mathematics department, Ganpat University on 29th September,2023
Professor A.R.Rao said: “It is important that the brain is used as an activity room and not a store room.”
And he lived his life like that.
One of the leading mathematicians of the country, Raosaheb worked as a Professor of Mathematics, first in Bahauddin College, Junagadh- where he spent more than a quarter of a century- and then in various other colleges of Gujarat. After his retirement from active teaching in 1976, Raosaheb joined the Vikram
A. Sarabhai Community Science Centre (VASCSC) at Ahmedabad, as Professor Emeritus, where he continued to offer his services till January,2011. Considered to be the father of nonformal mathematics in Gujarat, Raosaheb has established a Mathematics Laboratory at VASCSC, which is unique of its kind in the whole country. The laboratory is replete with fascinating mathematical models, games and puzzles, which not only help the students to understand mathematics better but which also help kindle interest among masses in the subject, considered dry and dull otherwise. It is his innovative concept of Mathematical Laboratory that won Raosaheb a number of awards for popularizing mathematics from state and national level organizations. While Geometry was his first love, Raosaheb were also interested in Number theory and Combinatorics. His book titled 'Brain Sharpeners' is a treasure of mathematical puzzles which are both challenging and captivating.
Every year, the Institute of Computer Technology organizes the “IBM Day...
