P.K Banerjee, principal investigator, DSCE Research Project, Indian Mathematical Science, Kolkata, inaugurated the conference.
Gurunath Rao Vaidya, chairperson of GAM 2013 and principal of Acharya Institute of Graduate Studies, said the event would provide a platform for delegates from different countries to interact with each other, share the advancement of maths in their own countries and facilitate development of further mathematical concepts.
“It is a great opportunity to organise a conference on maths and we fought with Russian university to get a chance to chair the conference,” Prof. Vaidya added.
S.H. Rim, editor, Global Advancement of Mathematics, South Korea, said that in recent days there had been a huge shortage of math teachers and hoped such events create more interest in mathematics and create more academicians in the subject.
