[edit]In 2009, while in Ukraine, Nagrath founded Elephant Head Software, a contract software engineering firm that developed custom software. Notable clients included Pearson, Titan, and Verizon. The company was recognized for its innovation with the JD Edwards award in 2015.[1][3]
Over the course of 7 years[citation needed], Elephant Head Software created over 50 software products with contributions to Internet of Things and television products.[1][3]
Elephant Learning
[edit]In 2016, Nagrath established Elephant Learning Mathematics Academy[1][3], a company with a mission of empowering children with mathematics. The academy aims to provide an accelerated learning system that helps students grasp years of mathematics within a few months through a program that requires just 10 minutes of study per day, three days a week.[1][3] Elephant Learning has been noted for its impact, having taught over 210,000 years of mathematics to more than 175,000 students globally.[3]
A research report of over 57,0000 students was released by the company and authored by Dr. Nagrath show that students within the system had learned an average of 1.67 years of mathematics over the course of 13 weeks with average usage of just under 40 minutes per week.[citation needed]
Treating Mathematics Anxiety
[edit]In 2024, Nagrath authored Treating Mathematics Anxiety: Inclusive Strategies for Working with Students Exhibiting Mathematics Anxiety.[citation needed] The book offers insights into the causes of mathematics anxiety and presents strategies for educators and parents to support affected students. It followed his earlier work, "Rethinking Math Learning," which also achieved Amazon Best Seller status.[4][5]
Conferences
[edit]Dr. Nagrath participated in notable early Algebra conferences, such as AAA76 in Linz [6]and AAA79 in Olomouc.[7] At these events, he presented his work, including the topic "Jumpy Lattices," which was subsequently published in General Algebra.[8]
Achievements
[edit]- Elephant Head Software: Recognized with the JD Edwards award for innovation in 2015.[9]
- Elephant Learning: Won the Education 2.0 Award for the Most Effective Mathematics Platform in 2020.[9]
- Books: Nagrath's books, "Rethinking Math Learning" and "Treating Mathematics Anxiety," have been influential in the field of education.[9][4]
