The Mathematics and Astronomy Club is one of the newest clubs of IBA and it kick-started its activities in its first year with an Introductory session on Thursday, the 30th of October.

It started off with a talk on Astronomy by Dr. Shahid Qureshi which informed the students about the applications of astronomy.
