Books

About a year ago, I have published my first book, which is a problem-based book aimed at high-school students interested in mathematical topics related to the ISI and CMI entrance tests as well as Mathematics Olympiads. In addition to the textbooks, this would be a helpful resource to understand how to tackle complicated problems from topics such as number theory, combinatorics, algebra, calculus, Euclidean and coordinate geometry, probability and statistics. We provide several problem-solving strategies and pointers to help students become confident in advanced high school mathematics. Following are the details.
