It is almost like deflating a balloon. But the effect is exponential. Today (29th January 2018, Monday), we have a special concept building cum problem-solving session on Contraction of a function. When 10 PM I.S.T. (29th January 2018) Where: Online (link will be posted in Cheenta Commons, Open Slate skype group) […]
This post contains problems from Indian National Mathematics Olympiad, INMO 2018. Try them and share your solution in the comments. INMO 2018, Problem 1 Let ABC be a non-equilateral triangle with integer sides. Let D and E be respectively the mid-points BC and C A, let G be the centroid of triangle ABC. Suppose D, […]
The most beautiful equation in mathematics is: It is often attributed to Swiss Mathematician Leonhard Euler. Interestingly enough, this is nothing but a statement about rotation! 23 is a shorthand way of writing 2 × 2 × 2. But this is very very different from what means. Mathematicians use this trick over and over again. They overload notations. In fact is a […]
We have indicated the source of these problems. Do not look up solutions. It is fun to try it yourself or see others try them live! Let P be an interior point of triangle ABC and AP, BP, CP meet the sides BC, CA, AB in D, E, F respectively. Show that \( \frac{AP}{PD}=\frac{AF}{FB}+\frac{AE}{EC} \) […]
Sine of an angle, half chord and vertical projection Note that half chord corresponding to a half arc is same as the magnitude of vertical projection.
Watch the solution of an interesting problem on Triangles on a sphere and learn how to solve it. You may try the problem yourself and then watch the video. PROBLEM Suppose the earth is a perfect sphere. You are on its surface at point A. First, you walk 1 mile south, then 1 mile east […]
