Mathematics exhibition

This exhibition is a result of a memorandum of understanding signed by the Kerala State Council for Science and Department of Atomic Energy to set up a 'Kerala School of Mathematics' in Kozhikode - a world-class mathematical studies centre.The idea is to generate students' interest and help them overcome their fear of Maths, which has led to poor performance in the state board exams in the past two years.The concept revolves around relating numbers and abstract equations to everyday life.
