Quiz Competition - "National Mathematics Day"
22nd December 2022
NSS units of Dronacharya College of Engineering, Gurugram organized a “quiz competition” on 22nd December, 2022 on the occasion of “National Mathematics Day”. 65 students participated in the quiz competition. Ms. Shivani Gupta (Assistant Professor-APS Dept.) was the quiz coordinator.
The aim to organize the quiz was to honor great Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan's contribution for his outstanding accomplishment in the field of Mathematics.
The day started with an inspiring speech by Dr. Ritu Sindhu (Principal – DGI). She told the audiences about Ramanujan and said he was regarded as an expert mathematician because he gave significant mathematical analysis and solved some of the "unsolvable" equations. She explained, the importance of mathematics for engineers.
After the speech, it was time to get started with quiz. Rules and regulations of the quiz were explained at the beginning. In the first round of the quiz, participants were given pre-printed multiple choice based questionnaires to solve within the time stipulated. In the second round of the competition, they were asked to solve certain equations which they have studied earlier.
Since Mathematics is a game of concentration, all the participants attempted the questionnaire with great attentiveness. The students not only gained knowledge but also enjoyed answering the diverse questions that were compiled for them. Their answer scripts were evaluated on the spot by a panel of evaluators.
It was very informative and knowledge enriching competition for the participants. Winners of quiz competition were awarded with the certificates.
