REFLECTION
Today, when we look back at the work we have done, many a thing strikes us.
Firstly, this takes us back down our memory lane into the new friends we
found, the different times of us coordinating ourselves and ultimately
presenting the glorious result. We take pleasure in seeing we were always
punctual in our jobs as well as learnt some discipline and time management.
We now love maths more than we ever did. We were fortunate to have
received the opportunity to interview the students of Vetchdal College,
Hardenberg.
Another step could have been added to our research in the area of Vedic
maths. In the era of maths, India has always had a noticeable contribution.
Throwing light on Vedic math tricks would not only have given a shine to our
reports but also added pride to our country.
