Two Summer Camps on Mathematics were organized by the Department of Mathematics, Dibrugarh University during the summer vacation. The first camp was held in collaboration with Barekuri Anchalik Yuva Sangha and Jatiya Vidyalay, Barekuri from 30th June, 2015 to 7th July, 2015 at Jatiya Vidyalay, Barekuri, Makum, Tinsukia. Some of the students from the Department of Mathematics, Dibrugarh University assigned as Mentors in the camp which was well attended by 60 students of class IX and X from schools of Barekuri and nearby areas. Various mathematical methods for solving problems were taught in the camp for the benefit of the students who actively participated in the camp. In addition to the Mathematics the participants were also exposed to reasoning, current affairs, politics etc. along with active interactions among the participants and mentors.
The second camp was organized in Bazalani Jatiya Vidyalaya, Bazalani, about 25 km away from Makum from 13th July to 22nd July 2015. The camp was attended by 55 students from Bazalani and its nearby remote areas. The students of the Department who have been engaged in these two camps are very excited to have a firsthand (real time) experience on Teaching of Mathematics. It is envisaged that both the Mentors and the participants are benefited by such noble activities. This has been a unique activity taken up by the Department of Mathematics since 2002 that showcases the responsibility towards the needy in the particular subject and the society at large.
