Dhanbad, June 29: National seminar on ‘Modeling, Analysis and Simulation’ began at IIT Indian School of Mines (ISM) Dhanbad on Saturday.
The seminar is being organized by the Mathematics and Computing Department of IIT ISM in which 150 scientists, faculty members and research scholars from different technical and academic institutes of the country are participating.
In three days, they would discuss different aspects of Modeling, Analysis and Simulation in the context of AI, ML and IOT.
Prof SK Tomar, vice-chancellor of JC Bose University of Science and Technology, YMCA, Faridabad was the chief guest in the inaugural function while Prof Sukumar Mishra, director of IIT ISM presided over the function.
Prof Tomar shed light on the role of faculty members and research scholars in popularizing mathematics teaching and education.
“While teaching too much the teachers get stuck with some topics which are not very relevant. So, it is imperative to teach limited topics with greater efficiency and clarity rather than covering too many areas”, said Prof Tomar.

He advised the research scholars against turning into a publication machine, publishing paper after paper without getting a deeper knowledge of the subject.
IIT ISM director Prof Sukumar Mishra while addressing said that the the seminar is significant for the technical institutes as simulation as part of mathematics is very important in all disciplines of engineering science besides humanities.
“We as electrical engineers also carry out a lot of simulation before the formal launch of the project. In soft landing Chandrayan-2 five to six years simulation was carried out before formal launch in space”, said Prof Mishra.
Prof RK Upadhyay, HoD of Mathematics and Computing cum chairman of the seminar briefed the participants about the topic of the national conference.
Prof S A Sahu also informed about the conference while organizing secretary Prof AK Verma proposed a vote of thanks.
Organizers said 16 speakers from top technical institutes of the country including IIT Guwahati, IIT Ropar, IIT Delhi, IIT Madras, host IIT ISM Dhanbad and top ranking NITs will deliberate on the theory of light wave propagation index, dynamics of polarized shear waves in sandwiched structure and harnessing AI for precision agriculture.
