Objectives of AFS
Basic knowledge in algebra, analysis, discrete mathematics and topology forms the core of all advanced instructional schools the schools to be organized in this programme.
The objective of the Annual Foundation Schools, to be offered in Winter and Summer every year, is two fold:
- To bring up students with diverse backgrounds to a common level.
- To identify those who are fit for further training.
Any student who wishes to attend the advanced instructional schools is strongly encouraged to enroll in the Annual Foundation Schools.
Format of AFS
The topics listed in the syllabi will be quickly covered in the lectures. There will be intensive problem sessions in the afternoons. The objective will not be to cover the syllabus prescribed, but to inculcate the habit of problem solving. However, the participants will be asked to study all the topics in the syllabus at home since the syllabi of these schools will be assumed in all the advanced instructional schools devoted to individual subjects.
Participants in AFS
These schools will admit 40 students in their first and second years of Ph. D. programme, students of M. Sc. (II Year), university lecturers and college teachers who lack the knowledge of basic topics covered in these schools.
A participant who has attended AFS-I and II will never be allowed to attend these again.
