Maths Lecturer Delivers Lectures In Nepal

Dr Nick Gill, a mathematics lecturer from the University of South Wales, was awarded a London Mathematical Society (LMS) grant to visit Tribhuvan University in Nepal. During his recent visit, Dr Gill delivered six lectures to postgraduate students, as part of a Galois Theory course at Masters Level. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

This course originated from a six year project, starting with the summer of 2016 and ending in the summer of 2021. Each course delivered will be offered at the Tribhuvan University by several lecturers from developed countries. Dr Gill’s exciting opportunity to be a part of this project marked the half-way point of the course, with students preparing for their mid-term exam in one week,after which the course will restart, with the next module to be taught by Prof Michel Waldschmidt from Paris VI. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

A significant percentage of the students are mature students, having studied undergraduate mathematics some time ago, have worked as teachers subsequently, and have returned to further study to develop themselves professionally. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
