Here is an excerpt from an email conversation that I had with one of our student's parent: "While we have lots of books with problems, the one challenge has been that problems in the books are not classified by level of difficulty or arranged in increasing order of difficulty. Much like a weight-lifter gradually increases […]
This is a session plan for 'Mathematics in Summer 2014'. (Venue: Scotland, Glasgow). Let's discuss Homological Triangles. Introduction to homological triangles, perspectivities. Menalaus' Theorem, Desargues Theorem Anti parallel lines, some examples of homological triangles, homothety as a special case of homology, cevian, orthic triangle, some basic properties of angle bisectors' Special Triangles and points: anti-supplemental […]
A post on homological triangles... topic of our math camp August 2014 (in Scotland)
a and b are two numbers having the same no. of digits and same sum of digits (=28). Can one be a multiple of the other? a is not equal to b. (courtesy Abhra Abir Kundu) Is $latex e^x-sinx $ a polynomial ? (courtesy Tias Kundu) Find the number of onto function from set A containing […]

This is a problem from CMI Entrance 2014 based on Map from a power set to n-set. Problem: Map from a power set to n-set (1) Let A = {1, ... , k} and B = {1, ... , n}. Find the number of maps from A to B . (2) Define $latex \mathbf{ P_k […]
This is a problem from Chennai Mathematical Institute, CMI Entrance 2014 based on area of a region. Try to solve it. Problem: Area of a region $latex \mathbf{ A= {(x, y), x^2 + y^2 \le 144 , \sin(2x+3y) le 0 } } $ . Find the area of A. Discussion: $latex \mathbf{ x^2 + y^2 […]
Let $latex \mathbf{ x \in \mathbb{R} , x^{2014} - x^{2004} , x^{2009} - x^{2004} in \mathbb{Z} }$ . Then show that x is an integer. (Hint: First show that x is a rational number)Discussion: $latex \mathbf{ x^{2014} - x^{2004} - x^{2009} + x^{2004} = x^{2014} - x^{2009} = x^{2009}(x^{5} - 1 ) }$ is an […]
