About this blog
It feels good to blog about an area of activity I've been passionate about for a long time: the Mathematics Olympiad. First, a quick look at my achievements in the Olympiads: I've represented India at the International Mathematical Olympiads in the years 2003 at Japan and 2004 at Greece. I won silver medals both times, being the top scorer from the Indian team.
Now, if you've come to this blog to collect serious information about the IMOs and the training process in India, I must warn you that this is more in the tune of my personal chronicles. Of course, it may contain a lot of information and a lot of ideas and I hope it inspires more students! But for official information, check out the Wikipedia entries on the IMO, the IMO Training Camp, and the INMO. These have all the relevant links.
For specific suggestions and names of books and websites, check out my page on Olympiad Resources which has an article on Preparing for Olympiads.
But do come back and read this blog as well! It discusses things like:
(i) How I prepared for the Olympiads: the usual issues like theory versus practice, does it conflict with JEE preparation etc. are bound to surface.
(ii) What role the Olympiads had in my decision to pursue mathematics: I am doing B.Sc. (Hons) in Mathematics and Computer Science at the Chennai Mathematical Institute. But may be that's getting a little ahead of the story!
(iii) What problem solving really means and how it relates to research. You might also like to see my What Is Research? blog in this regard.
(iv) The perils and the pains, the joys and the mundanity, of solving Olympiad problems.
So for whom is this intended? For anybody who is:
(i) Keen on Olympiads, or on preparing for them
(ii) Eager to revive his or her own memories of the wonderful days
(iii) Keen to learn about how a life in mathematics might begin
See you soon with more details!

I am trying to complete Thrills and Challenges and I am also having arihant's maths olympiad as well as arthur engel's book.
but when I try to solve the arthur engel's problems out of my own many a times I get stuck for a couple of hours and amidst the conventional board exams I am not finding sufficient encouragement in my small town to intensify my preparations
please suggest me few ways for preparing for the olympiads.

COACHING SOLUTIONS
As a parent, you must have heard your kid say that he or she doesn't like math or math is a boring subject. This is mainly due to the old teaching methods that are still followed by the classroom teachers. Many times, the teachers are greatly responsible for the disinterest in students regarding math. The importance of the subject in our life cannot be underestimated. However, many parents find it quite tough to instruct math to their children. In such cases, you must consider hiring a good private Math tutor in Bangalore who will help your child enjoy learning numbers.
