PASIGHAT, Mar 24: Jawaharlal Nehru College (JNC) today highlighted its commitment to career-oriented education by hosting two major academic events focused on practical application and skill development.
The Department of Mathematics organized its annual seminar on the theme ‘Mathematics in Day-to-Day Life’, where student presenters demonstrated how nature utilizes mathematical logic and patterns. Participants illustrated these principles through examples of phyllotaxy and the spirals found in sunflowers, pineapples, and pine cones.
It was noted during the seminar that the Fibonacci sequence, though popularized in Western Europe by Leonardo of Pisa, originally derived from ancient Sanskrit prosody.
Dr Gete Umbrey encouraged students to apply their mathematical minds to solving real-world problems, remarking that nature is the greatest mathematician and that human discovery of mathematics is an ongoing journey with endless opportunities.
The program featured resource persons Dr Richin Drema and Adam Paksok from Arunachal Pradesh University, and Dr Drema Lhamu from JNC. Coordinated by Riken Kaye, the event saw ‘Team Analyst’—comprising Ena Migribra, Osinam Taga, Kenyir Kamgo, and Hibu Rillung—take the top prize, while Jitam Yun was named best presenter. The session was anchored by Chalingso Tayang.
