From an early age I have been fascinated by Mathematics and the way it stimulates flexible cognitive thinking. Doing a BS in Mathematics at IBA, I enjoyed the variety offered by Mathematics, in terms of the modules I studied. I now want to expand my knowledge and understanding of Mathematics by obtaining a Master’s degree from a prestigious institute that will enable me to take up a teaching and research career. My love story with mathematics began at an early age. In high school, I scored the highest

In 19th century, many similar puzzles were discovered and many scholars were trying to solve them by using mathematics as a whole on solid foundations. The leader of those efforts was Bertrand Russell who discovered the most famous paradox called Russell’s

No one perhaps needs an explanation at present to include science in the school curriculum, Canon, Wilson, a famous educationist in 1867, in support of inclusion of science as a School subject wrote, "Science teaches what evidence is, what
