Chairman JK Gupta said children should take part in such mathematical activities to curb their maths phobia. Director Seema Handa also appreciated the students who took part in Tau Day. She said the first known use of tau was approximated by Archimedes in the third century. “He was born in the Greek city-state of Syracuse. Archimedes was known as one of the greatest scientists of the classical age, who among many other things, calculated Pi to the most precise value known. Pi is defined as the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter as is tau, but some believe that Archimedes work would have been all the better if he had relied more on tau than Pi”, the students were told.As many as 145 students of Apeejay College of Fine Arts were selected for internship listed in Internshala. All the selected students would be given monthly internship of Rs5,000 or Rs10,000 according to their contribution to the company. Principal Dr Neerja Dhingra congratulated the selected students and said that the students would continue their study while doing work for the company during the internship. She showered best wishes on students and considered their selection a first step towards self reliance.
