## I.S.I. 2018 Problem 5 – a clever use of Mean Value Theorem

If a function is 'nice' (!), then for every secant line, there is a parallel tangent line! This is the intuition behind the Mean Value Theorem from Differentiable Calculus. The fifth problem from I.S.I. B.Stat and B.Math Entrance 2018, has a clever application of this...

The Problem Let $$f:(0,\infty)\to\mathbb{R}$$ be a continuous function such that for all $$x\in(0,\infty)$$, $$f(2x)=f(x)$$Show that the function $$g$$ defined by the equation $$g(x)=\int_{x}^{2x} f(t)\frac{dt}{t}~~\text{for}~x>0$$is a constant function. Key Ideas One...

## Functional Equation – ISI 2018 Problem 3

The Problem Let $$f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$$ be a continuous function such that for all $$x\in\mathbb{R}$$ and for all $$t\geq 0$$, $$f(x)=f(e^tx)$$Show that $$f$$ is a constant function. Key Ideas Set $$\frac{x_2}{x_1} = t$$ for all $$x_1, x_2 > 0$$. Do the same...

## I.S.I. B.Stat, B.Math Entrance 2018 Subjective Paper

Find all pairs $$(x,y)$$ with $$x,y$$ real, satisfying the equations $$\sin\bigg(\frac{x+y}{2}\bigg)=0~,~\vert x\vert+\vert y\vert=1$$ Suppose...

## Geometry of Algebra

It is interesting to represent Algebraic Identities using Geometric objects. One easy example is presented in this video. https://youtu.be/ZCRV-cvTqIc Think! Try to draw the following algebraic identities using geometric objects $$a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)$$ \( (a+b)^3...

## Injection Principle – Combinatorics

The central goal of Combinatorics is to count things. Usually, there is a set of stuff that you would want to count. It could be number of permutations, number of seating arrangements, number of primes from 1 to 1 million and so on. Counting number of elements in a...

## Orthocenter and equal circles

Orthocenter (or the intersection point of altitudes) has an interesting construction. Take three equal circles, and make them pass through one point H. Their other point of intersection creates a triangle ABC. Turns out, H is the orthocenter of ABC. In this process,...

# Training brilliant minds.

Since 2010.

Cheenta has worked with brilliant maths and science olympiad students from over 6 countries. Our courses are specifically geared toward students with an exceptional interest in Mathematical Sciences.

Outstanding mathematics program for deserving school students.

Problem oriented physics program with optional training in experimental science.

#### College Mathematics

For I.S.I. M.Math, Mathematics Subject GRE, TIFR; Groups Analysis, Topology and more

#### Pre-Olympiad Thousand Flowers

For children who are starting out in Mathematics and Science.

#### I.S.I. & C.M.I. Entrance

For B.Stat and B.Math entrance at Indian Statistical Institute, B.Sc. Math at C.M.I. & KVPY.

#### Computer Science

Algorithms, Time complexity and discrete math for Informatics Olympiads.

Chemistry for KVPY, NSEP and other advanced high school standard contests.

# I.S.I. & C.M.I. Entrance

B.Stat, B.Math Entrance at I.S.I. and B.Sc. Math Entrance at C.M.I. require special training in Number Theory, Geometry, Combinatorics and Algebra (apart from regular High School topics).

Problems from standard topics such as Calculus, Trigonometry or Coordinate geometry can significantly tricky.

Number Theory, Combinatorics, Algebra, and Geometry at Olympiad standard are both necessary and useful components of this course.

#### Regular High School Topics

Advance problems from Calculus, Trigonometry, Coordinate Geometry and Algebra are bread and butter for handling more complicated ones.

# Not a spectator sport.

Think about the interesting problem!

# College Mathematics

An advanced program for College Students as well as adults interested in modern mathematics. This program is useful for I.S.I. M.Math Entrance, Subject GRE, IIT JAM and similar entrances.

We work on Groups, Rings, Fields, Linear Algebra, Analysis, Topology and other advanced topics. As usual problem solving remains the driving force of the program.

The hyperbolic 3 space may come up in this course. Behold this beautiful Hyperideal Honeycomb created by Royce3 (under creative commons).

#### Continuing Education

Many adults, who are pursuing jobs or industry, have taken this program. A curious mind, coupled with a determination to take up challenges is sufficient.

#### Advanced GRE, TIFR, M.Math

This program is for the true math fanatic, who yearn to understand the anatomy of ‘reason’ a little better. Advanced problem-solving session every week!

# Testimonials…

“a wide range of mathematical topics, and every lesson is packed with insights and methods. We are extremely pleased with the difference he has been making. Under his tutelage Sam has secured several gold awards from the UK Mathematics Trust (UKMT)and Scottish Mathematical Council (SMC).” Jayanta Majumdar

“Shuborno has been studying under Ashani from last one year. During this period, we have seen our son grow both intellectually and emotionally. His concepts and approach towards solving a problem has become more mature now. Not that he can solve each and every problem but he loves to think on the tough concepts. For this, all credit goes to Ashani, who is never in a hurry to solve a problem quickly. Rather he tries to slowly build the foundation..” Shubrangshu Das

“Our experience with Cheenta has been excellent.  Even though my son started in Middle School, they understood his Math level and took personal interest in developing a long-term plan considering his strengths and weakness areas. Through out the semester courses they have nourished him with challenging problems and necessary homework.  His guidance has helped my son to perform well at competitions including USAJMO and others. He has grown more confident in his math abilities over the past year and half and is hoping to do well in the future.

I am impressed with their quality and professionalism.  We are very thankful to Cheenta and hope to benefit from them in the coming years.  I would strongly recommend them to any student who wants to learn Math by doing challenging problems, specially if they are looking for Math than what their school can offer.” Murali Kadaveru
