Appreciation of our research works
Caltech appreciates the research work of AMMOC’s proteges – Tisya Chandrashekhar Rawat – a freshman at the Caltech with full scholarship and major in mathematics, class of 2027.
A brief list of very specialized research projects for mentees of AMMOC is here.
Research Apprenticeship through Directed Reading Program (DRP)
It humbles us to say that the research works and projects of mentees of AMMOC have impressed even mathematicians at Caltech. It is a matter of honor that even top mathematicians, who were invited as speakers at the International Congress of Mathematicians, appreciate the projects and work of mentees of AMMOC.
- Protégée, Tisya Chandrashekhar Rawat, joined AMMOC in January 2021, and she has committed to a UG double major in math & physics at CALTECH for the class of 2027. She received a full scholarship at Caltech. She did a research project with her mentor, Yaashaa Golovanov, with the title “Proof of some classical theorems of number theory using Group theory.” After two weeks of her acceptance at Caltech, she received a FedEx package containing an admission letter and praise from Caltech: “We were really impressed by your research on classical theorems, and a copy of the same is shown alongside in the left and can be accessed here.
- Sarthak Dattatray Dhobale joined AMMOC in October 2020. He has won over 50 international honors and distinctions in the prestigious international contests of the USA, Canada, Australia, and Southeast Asia. Since October 2021, his name has appeared several times on the website of the University of Waterloo for his stupendous performance in mathematical contests conducted by the University of Waterloo. In the last year he has produced a highly scholarly piece of work, Study of Topological and Abstract Algebraic Structures.
At present, we are running directed reading courses.

Currently the most advanced protégé, Prasanna Mahesh Pawar, has finished his graduate-level introduction to abstract algebra using books by Dummit & Foote (for theory of groups), Anthony W. Knapp (for rings and ideals), and Richard Elman (for fields & Galois theory).
Two other pupils, Parth Sakharam Andhare and Sergei Makarevich, are undergoing training in abstract algebra using Paolo Aluffi’s remarkable text, Algebra Chapter 0.
