Axiomatica 4.0

CMIT in collaboration with the Quizzing Society of IISER TVM (QSI) brings to you “AXIOMÁTICA 4.0”, the 4th edition of the annual mathematics quiz for freshers. This quiz is all about generating excitement and interest in Mathematics among the newer batches, helping you shake off any fear of math! We enthusiastically encourage each and every one of you to join in the fun, participate, and perhaps discover a newfound love for Mathematics along the way!

Date: 4th November 2024 (Monday)
Time: 8:45 pm
Venue: LHC Venus

Interested participants from BSMS B24 please fill this registration form. Participants from other batches can directly walk in for the quiz without filling this form.

Please bring a pen and paper with you. Teams should consist of no more than two people. The contest will have two rounds: Prelims and Finals. After the Prelims, eight teams from B24 will be selected to compete in the Finals. No registration is needed. The quiz will focus on general math-based trivia rather than rigorous proof-based questions. We can't wait to see you there and have some math-filled fun! This is a quiz focused towards the newbies, so if you are a fresher to this campus, do make it count by joining this fun quiz. For now enjoy this teaser question.

Martin Gardner is well known for writing 288 consecutive monthly columns titled "Mathematical Games" for Scientific American. In 1981, his column was alternated with a new column by Douglas Hofstadter called "Metamagical Themas". Now, why was it named "Metamagical Themas", which is very apt considering that it went hand in hand with Gardner 's column?

Hint: Focus on word play!

See you in the quiz!

PS: Kindly note that the rules are subject to change based on the situation. This competition is primarily for B24 people, but everyone is welcome to participate, enjoy and cheer. The prizes are exclusively for B24.
