Building life with Mathematics by Dr. Sandhya Gupta, SICA College, Indore

 


“Mathematics is the most beautiful and most powerful creation of human spirit.”

                                                                 -Stefan Banach

Mathematics is something to be loved and not feared. If taught well, one is able to observe the beauty of Maths in all its aspects. Maths is a part of our life in one form or the other. Just an observation is needed to know it. I am Dr. Sandhya Gupta, Assistant Professor (Maths) in SICA College Indore.

I have experience in teaching Mathematics for the past 20 years and I am associated with SICA from past 6 years. Mathematics is a part of Science or group of subjects related to Science which deals with the logic of quantities, shapes, arrangements, process, rules and symbols. It is an interesting subject if you understand the concept. Each topic provides the optimum amount of knowledge as required. We explain basic concepts through attractive examples and along with that many exercises on practice are added separately for all grades of students to improve their knowledge. High quality teaching is the single most important factor for raising student's achievement. One of the things that we are really passionate about in our classrooms is helping our students in developing new thinking skills and strategies. I personally love teaching Mathematics and sharing my ideas, thoughts and passions with others.

At SICA College, for practical knowledge we organize quiz,workshops and visits to places of interest. This year Department of Science organized a workshop of Basic Computer for the students of all streams. Science Department celebrated Science Day and Mathematics Day to aware students of our prestigious Mathematicians and their achievements. On Science Day we organized a visit to Jimmy McGilligan Centre for Awareness of Sustainable development that provided our students an opportunity to interact with the Padma Shree awardee Janak Palta McGilligan. On the occasion of Mathematics Day, a movie was shown to students on Srinivasa Ramanujan, the great Indian Mathematician. Our effort is always to teach students in impressive and innovative ways.

It is always our effort to be updated with new technology and use modern ICT technologies while teaching. Our students have also tried to do their best and have qualified in IIT-JAM and NIMCET. For their higher studies they have joined IIT Tirupati, IIT Guwahati, NIT Karnataka Surathkal and NIT Raipur. It gives me an immense pleasure when I watch my students doing well in their careers.

​We try to make Mathematics interesting so as to remove the fear of maths from the minds of students. I would like to say that Maths is fun and it should not be feared. Maths is applicable in all the facets of life. We try to relate maths with day to day activities so as to make their concepts more clear and easy to understand. I would like to close with a quote by William Paul Thurston “Mathematics is not about numbers, equations, computations or algorithms: it is about understanding”.

"Truth vs. Fact" by Prof. Vagmita Dubey, Department of Commerce, SICA College, Indore

Truth vs. Fact I f we search the dictionary, it says that the truth is same as fact. Although, the Truth may not be a fact. And a fact may not necessarily be the truth. A fact is something that we know to be true. Some incident we witnessed or someone informed about something. But, a fact may not always be the truth. But our own experiences are always our truth. On my recent stay at a resort on the bank of river Narmada and amidst the Narmada hills in the outskirts of Indore, I experienced something splendid. At midnight, while sitting by the river gazing at a tall tree, the leaves of which were swaying with the flow of the wind, I realised how every other life than the human life is fully exposed to the possibilities and the risk of survival at the same time. Human life is illusory. We live in our illusions, our world is so secure, we have been confined to our comfort zones. I realised that every other creature is so different than us. They are fully exposed to life and to all the ris

Character is the essence of Good Management by Prof. Anuradha Mishra, SICA College, Indore

CHARACTER IS THE ESSENCE OF GOOD MANAGEMENT Once Dave Ulrich, the Michigan-based HR guru stated that “Everything about leadership radiates from character.” The world knows that people who became successful business leaders had shown a great deal of integrity, commitment and strength of character. They demonstrated a remarkable amount of integration between thought, word and deed. They established themselves as  honest, transparent and trustworthy individuals.  People with character have strong sense of values. Having a sense of values means being guided in your thinking and actions by an inner code of standards and abstaining from what you consider as wrong. Values are built in organizations as well.  Take the example of TATA group: 26/11 was the biggest crisis, TATA Group ever faced. But during the attacks, the hotel staff of TAJ Hotel displayed acts of heroism, including janitor, waiter, captain , directors, artisans. The staff not only showed courage by protecting people inside the
