Bhaskaracharya Pratishthana

ONLINE Mathematics Training Programme 2021-2022

(BPOMTP 21-22)

Bhaskaracharya Pratishthana (BP), Pune is a premier institute devoted to carrying out research in mathematics and imparting high quality education in mathematics at school as well as college and university levels. The Institute is founded in 1976 by the renowned Mathematician Prof. Shreeram Abhyankar for conducting research in higher mathematics.

Since 1992, BP has also been a recognized center for conducting Regional Mathematical Olympiad (RMO) and Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO) on behalf of the National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM) for Maharashtra and Goa Region.

Over the years BP has been consistently involved in conducting mathematics foundation programmes for school students, Olympiad training programmes, undergraduate and postgraduate training programmes as well Annual Foundation Schools and similar teachers’ training programmes at regional and national levels.  The main aim of all these programmes is to promote teaching-learning methods in mathematics and create keen interest and liking for mathematics among students. The methods adopted are well tested over the years, and teachers encourage self-learning and independent thinking. As a consequence, several students of BP have pursued their career in mathematics and many have applied mathematics in a substantial way in their own areas of interest. The strong foundation developed in the school programmes enable students to take the challenge of participating in Olympiad competitions. Many students of BP have not only cleared regional level competition, but also achieved high success in national and international competition. We are happy and proud to mention that students trained at Bhaskaracharya Pratishthana have bagged medals for INDIA about 50 times in the International Mathematical Olympiad. A large number of past students of BP are doing excellent research work in Mathematics/Computer Science in major research Institutions /Universities all over the world or working as top class professionals in the best Industries. Many are also faculty members at well known colleges/universities in India or abroad.

This year BP announces ONLINE programmes for students of Std. 5 to Std. 9. Syllabus and other details of the various programmes can be found at this website (https//www.bprim.org)
An extra online/offline batch may be launched for all the programmes considering feasibility.

The faculty for all the programmes is extremely dedicated, very highly qualified and can be considered veterans in School and Olympiad training programmes. Many of the faculty members training in the BP Olympiad programme have been involved in the training of students at Regional, National as well as International Mathematical Olympiad for last many years.

All the programmes will consist of online lectures (2 days a week) throughout the year beginning from 15th June 2021 to 28th February 2022. The programmes will be extremely interactive in nature. A special feature for every programme will be project based activities and special lectures by expert faculty from India or abroad.
