reading a book written by a true master is like learning from him or her directly. It is an outstanding opportunity that none of us should miss. Here are some of those walks with the masters, that has transformed my life and the way I do mathematics. You may use this list of beautiful mathematics books to stay inspired.
If you are preparing for Mathematics Olympiads, ISI-CMI Entrances or challenging College level entrances then this article is for you. We will describe the no short-cut approach of Cheenta Programs and how you can use them.
Dear parent, One of the key contributions of modern mathematics is its tryst with infinity. As parents and teachers we can initiate thought provoking communication with our children using infinity. Consider the following set: N = {1, 2, 3, … } Notice that N contains infinitely many elements. Take a subset of N that consists […]
‘Teachers for Tomorrow’ is a unique program for parents and teachers who wish to take their kids / students an extra mile in mathematical training. Cheenta uses modern tools (such as Latex, GeoGebra, STACK etc.) to deliver its courses. It also uses carefully experimented teaching methods developed in USSR, United States, and India. We firmly believe that these tools and methods are very valuable in stimulating creativity in young mind.
Philosophical Remarks When did we first fall in love with mathematics? For me, it was in class 6. My father exposed me to a problem from Euclidean geometry. We were traveling in Kausani. After days of frustration and failed attempts, I could put together the ‘reason’ that made ‘everything fit together perfectly’. The problem was […]

Learn about Quadratic Diophantine Equations and Number Theory Techniques with a problem from ISI BStat BMath Entrance 2015
In this instructional video from Math Olympiad Geometry of AMC, IOQM, ISI-CMI , we delve into the intriguing concept of maximizing area while constrained by a fixed perimeter, employing rectangles and squares as our illustrative models. We explore how subtle adjustments in a rectangle's dimensions can yield substantial variations in its enclosed area, offering a tangible understanding of this fundamental geometric principle.

মানচিত্র আঁকছিলাম। রাস্তা গুলো সোজা সোজা। উত্তর, দক্ষিণ, পুব, পশ্চিমে যাওয়া যায়। এক ধাপ ডাইনে গেলে, সঙ্গে সঙ্গে এক ধাপ বাঁয়ে ফেরার নিয়ম নেই। (তাহলে আর ডাইনে গেলাম কেন!) তেমনি একধাপ উত্তরে গেলে, সঙ্গে সঙ্গে একধাপ দক্ষিণে ফেরাও মানা।
মানচিত্র আঁকতে আঁকতে দেখলাম এক উদ্ভট দেশ তৈরি হচ্ছে। সে দেশের প্রতি চৌমাথায় অসীম সব রাস্তা। সে সব রাস্তা আবার একে অপরের সঙ্গে তেমন দেখা সাক্ষাৎ করে না। এ হেন দেশের সীমান্ত নিয়ে আমাদের যত মাথা ব্যাথা। খুঁজতে খুঁজতে বেড়িয়ে পড়ল এক আজব কিস্যা!
সীমান্তে একলা দাঁড়িয়ে আছেন ক্যান্টর।
