13th to 19th June 2011 - a summary of classes at Cheenta

Some of these classes are over. Some of them are about to come. Wondering how to use them? Follow the following easy steps:
  1. If the class has already been conducted, and you wish were present, do not worry. You can always request for a specific class. On the basis of your request we will come back with the session once more as soon as possible.
  2. A class is coming up and you want to attend it. But you are worried, 'I am not a regular student of that batch, will I be allowed?'. Feel free to request permission to attend the session. If the seats are not already filled up, we will happily allow your entry.
14th June (Tuesday) and 16th June (Thursday) - LIMIT, CONTINUITY CONCEPT SESSIONS

Special discussion seminar on Limit and Continuity. The sessions were designed to train students appearing for interview in I.S.I. Naturally the sessions were very interesting. We covered many hitherto less discussed topics like Bolzano Weierstrass Theorem, Axioms of Real Numbers (including Completeness Axiom), Cauchy's definition of limit of a sequence and function, idea of continuity, intermediate value theorem etc. Saikat cracked B.Math and I.M.A entrance this year. Along with him, a new entrant Megha experienced the sessions. The students and the faculty were thrilled by the depth of the classroom discussion. We have decided to put the session in the upcoming Cheenta journal on Advanced Precollege Mathematics (we have named it 'Leelavati')

17th June, Friday, INEQUALITY + TRIGONOMETRY (1st session)

We will discuss the basic mean-power inequality, introduce Bernoulli Inequality and also the intuitive idea of Xeno's paradox. The Trigonometry portion will define the 'angle' (but everybody knows that isn't it!). We will also go into the first layer of properties of triangle. RMO 1990 and IMO 1959 will also be under scanner

18th June Saturday, JUNIOR OLYMPIAD GEOMETRY SESSION

This is for the students of class 5-6. But even the experienced geometer of high school may benefit from the class. We will continue working on some of the constructions of geometrical figures pointing out ways to prove them analytically.

19th June Sunday (morning), JUNIOR OLYMPIAD GEOMETRY 2ND LAYER

This is for students of 7-8. Definitely advanced students of lower classes will also benefit from the class. We will face a marathon test for the first time. The syllabus is till 31st Theorem of Euclid (volume I). The students from higher classes are advised to take the test.

19th June Sunday (Afternoon), SENIOR SESSION (Class XI) on INEQUALITIES AND TRIGONOMETRY

This session is designed to achieve certain height in Inequalities. We work on Problem sheet 2 (covering Bernoulli, Cauchy Schwarz, Rearrangement and more). In Trigonometry we troubleshoot and solve till Problem set 33 of M.L. Khanna IIT Mathematics. We also work on RMO 1991.

19th June Sunday (Evening), SENIOR SESSION (Class XII) on GEOMETRY AND CALCULUS

We start off with the remaining portion of RMO 1995. Then we switch over to Geometry (Euclid School Geometry). We cover atleast till Theorem 22. Homework will be Riders from Challenges and Thrills of Pre College Mathematics. Calculus portion will experience two apparently different things. We reintroduce integration as a limit of a sum and discuss some problem solving techniques from M.L. Khanna. We also initiate discussion on Limit of a sequence.

Stay tuned for more mathematics at Cheenta Ganit Kendra.
