15th May 2011 class preview

On 15th May 2011 (Sunday) we focus on inequalities once more. We have already covered Problem Sheet 1 and Problem Sheet 2 on inequalities which covered the Little Mathematical Library booklet on inequalities. Problem Sheet 3 will conclude the LML book and assist a migration to the Arthur Engel- Problem Solving Strategies collection on inequalities.

• Diagnosis Test (covering Problem Sheet 1 and 2 on inequalities)
• Problem Set 3 (on inequalities) with a marathon revision of previous two sheets.
• Regional Mathematics Olympiad 1993 paper discussion
• International Math Olympiad 1959 paper discussion
• Effect Test (covering Problem Sheet 3 with special stress on Holder's inequality)

IMO and RMO related discussion will need prior preparation in the part of the student.In fact that is of the homework of current week. This class is open to all. Students from class 9 to 12 may attend it. Practice Problems for next week includes 100 problems from Arthur Engel inequalities, Inequality chapter from Excursion in Math, Challenges and Thrills of Precollege Math, Mathematical Circles (especially triangular inequalities) and IMO, INMO, RMO level inequality problem collection.

In May will have 3-4 classes (since it is summer vacation in most schools), which are open to all. We want to complete Functional Equation (the book by Venkatchala, and problem collection in Arthur Engel). We enter June to work on Combinatorics and Geometry.

In December the Regional Math Olympiad is due. Summer Vacation is really the prime time for preparation. Look out for more updates in this blog.
