SUMMARY:Mathematical Discourse by Dr Narravula Harshvardhan Reddy
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Mathematics at SRM University-AP is organising an engaging Guest Lecture on June 14\, 2023. Dr Narravula Harshavardhan Reddy will speak on Finite Element Techniques for Thin-shell Deployable Space Structures. \n  \n  \nAbstract \nPart 1: Rotation-free finite element analysis \nWhile the majority of analytical analyses of plates and shells rely on Kirchhoff-Love (KL) formulations put forth for thin plates and shells\, modern finite element formulations draw upon the Reissner-Mindlin (RM) theory for moderately thick shells. The finite element formulations based on RM theory treat translations and rotations as independent variables and are advantageous due to their demand for only C0-continuity of the geometry between elements and the use of relatively simple shape functions. Nonetheless\, RM elements suffer from various locking phenomena such as shear locking and are inefficient in analysing very thin shells. With the emergence of stronger materials like carbon fibre-reinforced composites and the realisation of lightweight structures with extremely small thicknesses\, KL finite element formulations utilising only translations as the degrees of freedom are gaining prominence. This talk discusses two such rotation-free finite element formulations: Onate’s EBST [1] and NURBS-based isogeometric analysis [2] for thin-shell structures. \nPart 2: h-adaptive finite element analysis \nThin-shell deployable structures\, including booms and longerons\, undergo complex deformations such as localised folding and buckling\, and snap-through instabilities. These deformations are often accompanied by moving contact surfaces. Nonlinear Finite element analysis of such behaviours requires highly dense meshes in the regions of interest. Since most of the deployable structures such as booms are very long in one dimension compared to the others\, mesh density must be high throughout the domain of the analysis leading to a high computation cost.The computation cost can be reduced by adapting the mesh to the deformation throughout the geometrically nonlinear analysis. This talk focuses on h-adaptive mesh refinement for thin-shell deployable structures. \nAbout the Speaker \nDr Narravula Harshavardhan Reddy is a resourceful Mathematician and researcher\, who has made significant contributions to the understanding and application of mathematical principles in various domains. His impressive academic foundations in Mechanical Engineering from IIT\, Guwahati and Masters and PhD in Aeronautical Sciences from California Institute of Technology\, Pasadena\, CA backed with his extensive experience of about a decade in the realm is truly inspiring. He has 10 noteworthy publications and 4 distinguished talks to his credit. \nJoin the engaging discourse with Dr Reddy and members of the faculty !

SUMMARY:A Deep Insight into School Mathematics Education Research
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Mathematics is organising the eighth distinguished lecture by Prof. K Subramaniam\, a renowned academician and scholar at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai\, India on April 19\, 2023. This resourceful session will be on the topic “How can Education Research make a Difference? A Perspective from Mathematics Education”. The talk will elaborate on school mathematics education research with an emphasis on critical education research and pedagogical research. \nJoin the session and gain insight into how education research can play a significant role in influencing the institution of education itself! \nAbstract \nWe must remember that education is a complex social institution shaped by larger social\, political and economic forces. Research in science or mathematics education makes a small but vital contribution to this constellation. The focus of the talk will be on school mathematics education research\, with emphasis on distinguishing critical educational research from curricular and pedagogical research\, arguing that both are needed. Drawing on the curricular and pedagogical research done at the Homi Bhabha Centre\, some examples will be discussed on how research can make small but significant contributions. The examples will also serve to communicate a picture of what such research involves. The speaker will also highlight some agenda for work within research as well as finding institutional homes for such research. \nAbout the Speaker \nK Subramaniam (Ravi) is a Professor at the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education\, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai\, India. His main research interests are the design and organisation of core areas of the middle-grade mathematics curriculum such as fractions\, proportional thinking\, geometric measurement and algebra\, and the specialized knowledge that teachers need to teach effectively at this level. His other interests are the integration of out-of-school knowledge and school learning of mathematics\, frameworks for analysis of mathematics teaching and the role of visualization in the learning of science. He has contributed to the work of curriculum and textbook committees and to in-service teacher professional development in India. He has also played a central role in building and nurturing a community of mathematics educators in India. \nProf. Subramaniam has also contributed to formulating education policy through his participation in the focus group on the teaching of mathematics\, the syllabus committees for NCF-2005\, and the curriculum and textbook committees for the state of Maharashtra (since 2011).

SUMMARY:Scalar conservation laws in one space dimension with strict convex flux
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Mathematics is arranging the fifth instalment of the Departmental Distinguished Lecture Series on April 25\, 2022\, at 3.45 pm IST. Reputed Mathematician\, Prof A Adimurthi will deliver an informative lecture on the topic ‘Controllability of Scalar Conservation Laws with Discontinuous Flux’. \nAbout the Talk \nNavier-Stokes and Euler equations play an important role in studying the flow of incompressible fluids. Weak solutions to these equations can be obtained by Galerkin method but the uniqueness is a big open problem. It is a big challenge to obtain an extra condition for the class of functions\, so that in this class obtain the existence and uniqueness. To understand this phenomenon\, it is better to look at a one-dimensional case where the equation turns out to be viscous Burger’s equation or Burger’s equation with non-linearity is of quadratic order. In this talk\, we will restrict to Burger’s type equations called the Scalar Conservation Laws in one space dimension with strict convex flux. Way back in the 50’s\, this equation was studied by Lax and Oleinik and obtained an explicit formula for a solution. Oleinik showed that this satisfies an extraction called the Entropy Condition and then showed that in this class\, the solution is unique. Later Kruzkov\, in an ingenious way\, generalized this to obtain a unique solution for Scalar Conservation Law in higher dimensions and Lipschitz fluxes. This result was taken up by Zuazua and his collaborators and studied the Optimal Controllability for Burgers equation. They showed the existence of optimal control and to capture this\, they derived a numerical algorithm whose convergence is still open. In a different direction\, this was attacked\, and the problem was completely solved. Getting the optimal solution is via projection method in a Hilbert space. Recently\, this was extended in a non-trivial way to conservation laws with convex discontinuous flux. The talk will explain the main ideas of this work. \nAbout the Speaker \nA mathematician of repute\, Prof A Adimurthi has been associated with the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research\, Centre for Applicable Mathematics Bangalore. At present\, he is working as a visiting professor at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics\, IIT Kanpur. He has authored more than a hundred research articles on a wide range of topics including Partial differential equations\, Functional analysis\, Numerical analysis\, Calculus of variations\, Optimal control\, and many others. Prof Adi Adimurthi has been elected as a fellow of; The Indian Academy of Sciences (F.A.Sc) Bengaluru (1996)\, The National Academy of Sciences (F.N.A.Sc)\, India in 1997\, The Indian National Science Academy (F.N.A) in 1998\, The World Academy of Sciences(TWAS) in 2018\, Raja Ramanna and DST J.C. Bose National. Along with these fellowships\, Professor Adimurthi has also been honoured with the prestigious Dr Zakir Hussain Award in 2013.

SUMMARY:Breaking the Mathematics myth
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever thought Mathematics is a hard nut to crack? The Department of Mathematics brings to you Dr Rossi D’Souza to break the myth associated with Math. The seminar will be held on March 28\, 2022 at 03.45 pm IST. Dr D’Souza\, from Homi Bhabha Centre for Science will deliver a talk on ‘Why is the relationship between Mathematics\, Education & Society important for research?’. \nAbstract of the Talk \n“Mathematics is hard!” has been a universal refrain among school children (and often their parents) for as long as we recall. But why do so many children dislike Mathematics? Is it the way Mathematics is taught – because Math teachers follow a “rote-learning” approach instead of making sure students understand the basic concepts? Why are students from marginalized backgrounds/identities disproportionately lagging behind in & excluded from Mathematics knowledge production? Or is Mathematics really not for everybody? \nDrawing on experience from his PhD research with visually challenged students and industry experience the speaker will highlight the importance of taking into account the social factors in Mathematics Education Research to effectively address the challenges posed by STEM Education – and to work towards a world where Mathematics really is for everybody! \nSpeaker’s Profile \nDr Rossi D’Souza recently completed his PhD in Mathematics education from HBCSE-TIFR. His research interests include exploring how ableism operates in Mathematics education. Prior to working as a Research scholar\, Rossi completed his M.Tech in Modeling and Simulation from Pune University\, specializing in and then working in the field of Computational Genomics. He has also worked as a visiting lecturer at Govt. Polytechnic Mumbai\, as a medical instrument repairman at Narayana Hrudayalaya Hospital\, Bangalore and as a Science Communicator on the Science Express train.

SUMMARY:Some Fascinating Features of Water Wave Propagation and Dissipation: A Mathematical Viewpoint
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Mathematics is going to host the fourth instalment of the Distinguished Lecture on February 2\, 2022\, at 3:30 PM with Prof Swaroop Nandan Bora from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati as the keynote speaker. Dr Bora will be speaking on “Some Fascinating Features of Water Wave Propagation and Dissipation: A Mathematical Viewpoint”. \nProf Swaroop Nandan Bora received his PhD in Mathematics from Dalhousie University in Halifax\, Canada. He joined the Department of Mathematics\, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati in 1999. He is also the youngest son of the renowned novelist and Padma Shri recipient Lakshmi Nandan Bora. \nProf Bora’s research interest includes Water Wave Mechanics\, River Mechanics\, Sloshing Dynamics\, Flow through Porous Media\, Differential Equation\, Fractional Differential Equation. He has been elected to don the cap of the President of the Indian Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ISTAM). \nSome Fascinating Features of Water Wave Propagation and Dissipation: A Mathematical Viewpoint: \nLong since oceans have been serving mankind in various ways and of course\, at the same time\, the waves have also shown their fury at times by claiming lives and creating huge destruction. In order to understand the oceans and the strength they display through waves\, it becomes very pertinent to study ocean waves\, their behaviour and effects with respect to wave propagation\, scattering\, damping\, trapping etc.\, which influence a number of issues in connection with marine structures and coastal regions. The comfortable situation to work with ocean waves is by considering simple conditions thereby neglecting many important aspects such as the porosity of the structures that are installed in the ocean for various activities\, the porous and elastic effects of the sea-bed and also the unevenness of the sea-bed. However\, the real situation demands that some or all of these be taken into account while modelling a problem so that the problem is formulated for a more realistic scenario. \nIn order to reduce the wave impact on marine structures (i.e.\, to dissipate the wave effects)\, it is essential that the structures (such as cylinders\, barriers\, caissons) possess in them the ability to reflect the wave and help in attenuating the wave energy. This brings into fore the utility of porous structures which can be used as breakwaters in the coastal and offshore regions for various applications. Further\, it is practically impossible to find sea-beds that are flat and do not possess any porosity or elasticity. In other words\, a more realistic formulation can be carried out by considering structures possessing porosity\, and sea-beds being uneven and possessing porosity and/or elasticity. \nThe objective of this talk is to discuss the scattering of water waves by various types of porous structures placed on flat or uneven sea-bed which may possess porosity and/or elasticity. The study focuses on how reflection varies when different important parameters are changed. The observations made from this study will allow one to design structures that will be effective enough to reduce wave impact on the structures. In this talk\, some results will be displayed which portray the physical scenario. An attempt will be made to present some practical problems which take into account a number of important properties and parameters so that the results become practical to be followed by relevant people for various activities with regard to protecting certain regions and structures from harsh ocean wave action. It will mainly emphasize the significant role that porosity and elasticity play with regard to ocean wave propagation and various related issues. The emphasis will be on the modelling of the problems which will establish the essence of mathematics. \nA brief and friendly introduction to water wave propagation will precede the main components of the talk to give some general idea to the audience. \nJoin the exciting Lecture on February 2\, 2022\, at 3:30 PM with Prof Swaroop Nandan Bora.

SUMMARY:Lecture on multiparameter E_0-semigroups
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Mathematics at SRM University-AP is conducting a departmental seminar on November 24\, 2021\, at 3:00 pm. Prof Sundar Sobers from The Institute of Mathematical Sciences\, Chennai\, India will engage the participants on the topic “Multiparameter E_0-semigroups”. \nAbstract of the lecture: \nIn the late eighties\, Powers initiated the study of the 1-parameter semigroup of endomorphisms on B(H). This was further studied intensively by many others during the last three decades led by William Arveson. Although from the physics point of view\, the 1-parameter theory is the most important one\, from the mathematical perspective\, it is not necessary to restrict oneself to 1-parameter\, i.e. the half-line [0\,infty) and we could replace the half-line with any reasonable semigroup’ like convex cones in higher-dimensional Euclidean space. One of the nice features is that the basic theory stays intact while there are significant differences between the 1-parameter theory and the n-parameter theory. I will explain one such phenomenon. \nIn particular\, Prof Sundar Sobers will define the basic examples of E_0-semigroups\, i.e. the CCR and CAR flow associated with isometric representations of the semigroup P. In the multiparameter world\, CCR flows need not be isomorphic to its opposite\, a sharp contrast to the one-parameter situation. \nDon’t forget to join this lecture on November 24\, 2021\, at 3:00 pm which will be helpful to participants who are doing or planning to start a career in the multiparameter E_0-semigroups domain.

SUMMARY:Navier stokes equations: A million dollar open problem
DESCRIPTION:The second lecture in the Distinguished Lecture Series organised by the Department of Mathematics at SRM University-AP will be held on November 10\, 2021\, at 4.30 pm. Prof Amiya Kumar Pani from the Department of Mathematics\, IIT Bombay\, will elucidate the lecture on the topic “Navier Stokes Equations: A Million Dollar Open Problem”. \nOn August 8\, 1900\, David Hilbert delivered his famous lecture about 23 open mathematical problems at the second International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris. This influenced the decision of a recently formed Clay Mathematical Institute (CMI) to announce the seven Millennium Prize Problems in the CMI Millennium Meeting held on May 24\, 2000. One such problem is the theme of the present talk. Now it is widely accepted that the motion of an incompressible viscous fluid with moderate velocity is described by the Navier-Stokes Equations. Although these equations were written down in the 19th century\, the existing mathematical results are not adequate to unfold the secrets hidden in the Navier-Stokes equations. \nIn this talk\, Prof Amiya shall concentrate on a brief description of this problem\, mathematical model\, a quick look at history\, what is known at this point\, some important approaches and what is possibly needed. Finally\, he will conclude the talk with a note on the present state of Indian applied mathematics and whether we are ready to contribute towards this millennium problem. \nAbout the Speaker: \nProf Amiya K Pani is Professor at IIT\, Bombay. He is well known for his research work in the area of numerical approximations of partial differential equations. His expertise includes construction\, stability\, and convergence analysis of finite element methods\, finite difference schemes\, orthogonal spline collocation methods for free boundary problems\, partial integrodifferential equations\, coupled equations in Oil Reservoir Studies\, evolutionary variational inequalities\, and scientific computations for industrial applications. Professor Pani is a fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences and National Academy of Sciences\, India. He was awarded the Best Young Mathematician for his outstanding contributions to Numerical Analysis\, Partial Differential Equations\, and Industrial Mathematics by the Indian Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ISIAM). \nTune in to this intriguing lecture on Navier stokes equations on November 10\, 2021\, at 4.30 pm.

SUMMARY:Flipping with the flow – Perspectives of puzzling fluid dynamics and human health
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Mathematics is organising the first episode of the Distinguished Lecture Series on September 15\, 2021\, Wednesday\, at 6.30 pm. Prof Suman Chakraborty from the Department of Mechanical Engineering\, IIT Kharagpur\, will deliver a lecture titled “Flipping with the Flow – Perspectives of Puzzling Fluid Dynamics and Human Health”. \nAbstract of the Lecture:\nOver the past century\, advancements in fluid dynamics hallmarked deeper studies on complex fluids\, though. Fluid dynamics of blood\, possibly the most critical complex fluid impacting human lives\, is primarily dictated by red blood cells (RBCs) that are flexible biconcave discs spending their lives suspended in blood plasma that is elusively more complex than simple water. Commonly\, RBCs stack together to form structures called rouleaux like cylindrical packs of coins that reform continuously. Contrary to intuition\, instead of clogging\, such reforms result in the easier flow of blood as it passes through extremely narrow channels. An influential theoretical premise of blood flow has been rationalizing this by drawing analogies of RBCs with compound liquid droplets in which the cytoplasm is more viscous than the outer fluid that triggers a series of complex shape transitions. However\, a stiffening of RBC membranes under certain conditions contradicts this analogy and may alter ATP release that happens due to shape deformation. This may signify specific diseased conditions and influence a plethora of ailments ranging from cardiovascular irregularities to cancer metastasis. The role of unique flexibility of microvasculature and morphology of the microenvironment\, dynamical signals of pressure pulsation and disease-specific blood rheology make it extremely deceptive and patient-specific and difficult to model within the known territories of expertise of fluid dynamics. \nProf Suman Chakraborty will discuss here various computational\, in-vitro and in-vivo studies conducted in his research group that have attempted to address some of the pertinent outstanding questions\, unresolved paradoxes\, and will present a deeper challenge that makes even ‘simple’ blood flow strikingly more complicated than its intuitive analogy of pipe flow in engineering fluid mechanics. He will also suggest a way forward with a convergence of physics-based modelling and data science\, where blood flow is not merely perceived as an ‘inert’ physical phenomenon but recognized as an exclusive hallmark of ‘life’ with all individualism intrinsic to humans. \nAbout the Speaker:\nProf Suman Chakraborty received the prestigious Santi Swaroop Bhatnagar Prize and became the youngest Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering. He has also been a Fellow at the Indian National Science Academy (INSA)\, Indian Academy of Sciences (IAS)\, and Indian National Academy of Science (NASI)\, in addition to being the recipient of the Indo-US Research Fellowship. He is also a recipient of the Scopus Young Scientist Award given by Elsevier for high citations in his research publications\, the Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship (2005)\, and the Young Scientist/Young Engineer Award from various National Academies. He has been bestowed with the Fellowship of the American Physical Society\, the Fellowship of the Royal Society of Chemistry\, and the Fellowship of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. \nJoin this educational session on September 15\, 2021\, at 6.30 pm to gain insights from the field expert.

SUMMARY:"PDEs and Digital Images"- in discussion with Dr Vijayakrishna Rowthu
DESCRIPTION:Department of Mathematics is back with another exciting version of the Departmental Seminars Series. This week\, the Department of Mathematics invites the in-house mathematician Dr Vijayakrishna Rowthu to deliver a talk on “PDEs and Digital Images.” He is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics. The seminar has been scheduled for April 07\, 2021\, at 3 pm. \nDigital images are discrete versions of 2D functions defined over a rectangular bounded domain. In the language of Partial Differential Equations(PDE)\, a digital Image Processing Method(IPM) appears as an Initial Value Problem (IVP) where the initial value is an image\, and the PDE mimics the processing part of the method. Unlike the traditional IPMs\, the final outcome is not subjective but majorly depends on the convergence of the evolving solution over the time axis. \nIn this talk\, various PDE models will be illustrated to showcase the benefits and to infuse enough mathematical rigour into the field of image processing itself. Mathematics enthusiasts are requested to avail this opportunity to listen to our distinguished speaker on April 07\, at 3 pm.

SUMMARY:Dr Chittaranjan Mishra to discuss "Fast pricing of multi-asset American options under jump-diffusion models"
DESCRIPTION:In the next chapter of Departmental Seminars Series\, Department of Mathematics\, SRM University-AP\, Andhra Pradesh welcomes Dr Chittaranjan Mishra\, Department of Mathematics\, Indian Institute of Technology Ropar\, to deliver a lecture on “Fast pricing of multi-asset American options under jump-diffusion models” on March 24\, 2021\, at 3 pm. \nMulti-asset American options are interesting in many ways\, e.g.\, they give the holder the flexibility to exercise at any time up to maturity\, allow for risk diversification and for us\, these contracts are mathematically challenging to price due to the non-availability of a closed-form formula. When jumps are introduced to model underlying assets\, one will be required to solve a partial integro-differential complementary problem (PIDCP) for pricing these contracts. In these cases\, we find that computing sufficiently accurate option prices in real-time is extremely difficult. That is because the in hand PIDCP involves a multi-dimensional partial integro-differential equation with a non-local double integral term. Solving these multi-dimensional PIDCP by advanced numerical techniques\, such as a customized finite difference method\, is very time-consuming\, as the corresponding discretization matrices are huge in size. More importantly\, the integral approximation matrix is also dense\, posing a serious challenge to handle storage memory. Many efficient techniques are proposed primarily to handle the double integral term. However\, the required solving time is still not practicable for practitioners. \nIn our research\, we exploit the amazing parallel architecture of modern graphics processing units (GPUs) to solve computationally expensive scientific problems. Nevertheless\, resolving the problem at hand by employing a GPU is not straightforward. It requires one to overcome many bottlenecks\, such as in. In this work\, we have investigated these issues in order to achieve substantial speed-ups compared to a sequential FD implementation. \nMathematics enthusiasts are requested to avail this opportunity to listen to our distinguished speaker on March 24th\, at 3 pm.

SUMMARY:Dr Gaurav Bhatnagar to interact on "The Partition-Frequency Enumeration Matrix"
DESCRIPTION:Progressing with the series of Departmental Seminars\, Department of Mathematics\, SRM University-AP\, Andhra Pradesh invites Dr Gaurav Bhatnagar\, Visiting Associate Professor\, Department of Mathematics\, Ashoka University to deliver a lecture titled “The Partition-Frequency Enumeration Matrix” on March 10\, 2021\, at 3 PM. \nThe Partition-Frequency Enumeration (PFE) matrix is an infinite upper-triangular number-theoretic matrix that is used to enumerate partition-like objects as an elementary approach. This matrix unifies voluminous results connecting number-theoretic functions to partition-type functions. The calculus is extended to arbitrary generating functions and functions with Weierstrass products. As a by-product\, some well-known recurrence relations for many number-theoretic functions are recovered. These include the sum of divisors function\, Ramanujan’s $tau$ function\, sums of squares and triangular numbers\, and $zeta(2n)$\, where $n$ is a positive integer. As an application\, Ramanujan’s famous congruences $p(5n+4)equiv 0$ (mod $5)$ and $tau(5n+5)equiv 0$ (mod $5)$ are embedded into an infinite family of such congruences. During the lecture\, Dr Gaurav Bhatnagar will highlight two other congruence results concerning the sum of the divisor function.

SUMMARY:Dr Ravi Prakash to illustrate Homogenization Problem and Tartar’s Method
DESCRIPTION:Department of Mathematics\, SRM University-AP\, Andhra Pradesh presents departmental seminar on “Introduction to Homogenization Problem and Tartar’s Method”. During the session on February 17\, 2021\, at 5.30 PM\, Dr Ravi Prakash\, Assistant Professor\, Departamento de Matem ́atica\, Universidad de Concepci ́on\, Concepci ́on\, Chile\, will describe this mathematical theory that has been introduced to explicate the behaviour of composite materials used by the material scientists. He will illustrate this model by drawing example of a homogenized material. \nThe aim of ’Homogenization’ is precisely to give the macroscopic properties of the composite by taking into account the properties of its structure. For a good understanding of this area\, one must have a definite knowledge of Distribution Theory\, Functional Analysis\, Measure Theory\, and Differential Equations. \nThe theory of Homogenization has reaching applications in several areas (including composite materials) such as porous media\, analysis of their structures\, etc. During the session\, the esteemed guest lecturer will enable the audience to comprehend how Tartar’s Method uses two scales for the characterization of the material – the microscopic one\, describing the heterogeneities\, and the macroscopic one\, describing the global behavior of the composite.

SUMMARY:Dr Tathagata Sengupta to speak on 'Debt\, Mathematics and Education'.
DESCRIPTION:Department of Mathematics is organising the 16th edition of the “Departmental Weekly Seminar Series” on October 06\, 2021\, at 3 pm with Dr Tathagata Sengupta as the Chief Guest. Dr Tathagata Sengupta is from Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education\, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research and he is going to speak on ‘Debt\, Mathematics and Education’. \nThe talk is based on the ongoing work of Dr Sengupta\, where he and his collaborators deal with the sociological\, emotional and intellectual impacts of mechanical reproduction of formal knowledge systems – such as those based on mathematical models – in the service of economies of endless repetition and mass reproduction. Symbols and formalisms can carry over across different paradigms of human existence\, across both time and space\, without the underlying meanings and subtleties necessarily being carried along. Such nominalisation of meanings only gets exacerbated under systems of massive mechanical reproduction. Mathematical models particularly are not just mere vehicles of computation but play a paradigmatic role in the very realisation of today’s political economy – being endlessly used to reproduce social relations that suit the interests of power and capital. \nSpecifically\, Dr Sengupta and his team analyse a particular\, basic microfinance model that aims to mathematise and thus aid in the management of micro-lending businesses. They describe how such a model not only tries to construct particular social realities and certain kinds of financial ‘common sense’ as such but also how pre-existing normative common sense is likewise codified into the model itself. They argue how such mathematical models have no independent truth value outside of specific historic processes\, contexts and paradigms of public common sense – hoping that this allows us to fundamentally shift the culture of mathematical modelling in a way that respects such subtleties of human knowledge in their extremely rich\, dynamic\, plural\, communistic wisdom and creativity. \nDr Sengupta’s main attempt is to push the discussion not only out of the binaries of ‘good/bad models’ but also beyond rule-based rationalist imaginations of ethics into the mundane and emotional – and yet creative\, subtle and even magical – daily existence of ordinary people. Existence is marked by social relations of radical inequalities and radical unities. In particular\, this also opens up possible directions to pursue intellectually and in practice\, when it comes to the question of education. \nMathematics enthusiasts can avail this opportunity to listen to the captivating talk of Dr Tathagata Sengupta on October 06\, 2021 at 3 pm.
