The course will be free of cost through IIT Madras Pravartak Technologies Foundation, sec 8 company of IIT Madras. Grade certification for students will also be completed through the same foundation, but it will be limited to students who will pay a ‘nominal fee’.

In this course, candidates will be taught to find solutions to problems by “using reasoning that is not immediately obvious and involving ideas that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic. In this unique course, such thinking is emphasized through rediscovering the known and unknown facts of mathematics logically with an interesting broader perception of the manner of doing it,” explained Prof. Kamakoti from IIT Madras.
