A Seminar on Construction of Fuzzy Numbers

A Seminar was organized by LIMCOS on Construction of Fuzzy Numbers. Dr. Victor Devadoss, FormerHead, Department of Mathematics, Loyola College, Chennai. 74 participants attended the seminar.In construction of fuzzy numbers, there are two forms of knowledge.

Special Seminar on Science and Religion

Science and Religion are often discussed as non-compatible or contradictory disciplines or ideologies. However, Fr. Francis Xavier SJ looks into the predicament as complementary: He discussed a couple of issues such as Creation-Evolution, Concept of Time, and Life after Life to discuss the different perspectives of the same reality.Only science can throw light on the reality of religious beliefs. On the other hand, religion can guide the path of scientific enquiry and set the limits to which science can be used to explain natural phenomena. In view of several issues such as the Creation-Evolution debate, the Concept of time and time travel, Life after Death, Telepathic communications, and other similar metaphysical dimensions, it is not possible to separate the religious concepts from scientific explanations.
