ISI 2012 batch - 17th July Sunday, Evening ; CLASS PREVIEW

We are in mid-July. We have completed the first diagnostic test (I.S.I. B.Math level). We are about to commence the most serious journey through high school mathematics. At this juncture the 17th July class becomes relevant.

The main topics due are:
  1. B.Math 2009 last five problems discussion.
  2. RMO 1996 concluding part
  3. M.L.Khanna Problem Set 63 concluding part
  4. Geometry Sheet 1 concluding part
Apart from the above discussion we will have the the DIAGNOSIS TEST and the EFFECT TEST as usual. The "HAVE A BREAK" refresher is also ready to roll.
We have less than 300 days left (about 290 days). What should be our strategy?
By end august (that is in 6 more classes) we should be through with Integral Calculus in it's entirety. Also in 6 classes we will cover the Geometry portion (as far as math olympiads can take us).
September and October will be devoted to Differential Calculus. In the olympiad frontier we will master number theory and combinatorics.
November and December will be devoted to Binomial Theorem, Complex Number, Infinite Series. In the olympiad arena we will face inequality and functional equations (we have RMO in December).
January and February will be devoted to Trigonometry and Coordinate Geometry alone. Olympiad related topics will be suspended (except for those who will crack RMO in December).
March will see Theory of Quadratic Equations in full action. Apart from that we may take up some residual topics. We will enter revision exercises.
So far this is the plan. If you have any suggestion feel free to mail us at helpdesk at cheenta dot com.
