  7. You can also present on the blackboard instead of the PPT.
  8. The judgments will be made on:
    • Communication, clarity, and presentation of the material
    • Response in Q&A
    • Originality of the content

Quiz: GanitWiz

Mathematics is omnipotent. We embrace its omnipotence with a quiz to help you unravel its apparent mystery. Let’s experience the beauty of mathematics and the places where it is found through this quiz themed on general Mathematics, which intends to provide an exposition of the subject.
