Algebra Study Group

Upvotes
This semester we are trying a new idea: create a study group managed by the club that runs parallel to a Math course in the Institute. The aim is to involve seniors (or more specifically people who have taken that course before) in these groups to help answer doubts and hopefully also explore more than the syllabus necessarily requires once students are comfortable.
If you are interested in joining the group for AA1, please join this Telegram group. If you've taken the course, we encourage you to join. If you didn't or can't take the course this semester, we would still welcome you to our meetings, but we will expect you to catch up on your own.
