Mathematics Contest

MATHEMATICS CONTEST (VOL-21)

Contest Objectives

The competition has been proven to be the most effective event to make math enjoyable and popular subjects at all levels in schools and colleges. Children learn by attaching meaning to what they do, and they need to construct their own meaning of mathematics. The competition aims to provide a national level recognition to the top performing students at a very early stage of their life. FSP competition is a source of intellectual encouragement and a challenge for the genius ones. FSP competition supports student’s academic activities with an aim to ensure a high level of individual academic success by stimulating the basic understanding how math logic applies in nature’s laws.
