A workshop on Poetry, Drumming & Mathematics from Mr.Manjul Bhargav, Fields Medalist, Princeton University, USA, had been organized by ICDS at Christ University Auditorium.  All students from 8th grade, with their teachers attended the workshop. He spoke about many modern mathematical tools used in probability and combinatorics, and applied in varied technologies such as those on NASA space missions, originated in problems encountered by linguists like Pingala and musicians thousands of years ago in India .  He also looked at some of these ancient, poetic problems — and their remarkable solutions through the ages — to reveal much about the nature of human thought and the origins of mathematics.
