Hewo! My name is Sunaina Pati, and I am a first year undergraduate student in CMI.
I started this blog to discuss my math ideas, to share my experiences, my own notes(both school and olympiad) and many more. I would call this blog, heavily mathematics-biased. I do post a few non-math posts. Moreover, this blog is where I put a lot of problems I solved. So I post the solutions here, to verify my solution and practice proof writing.
Also, these problems are really perfect and not heavy theory-based. The difficulty range is however quite large. In general, it's IMO P1 level or higher.
Though there is no guarantee about when I will post, so if you are interested, then do subscribe 😄, so that you don't miss out on anything new!
Here's a little about me:
- I would describe myself as a math enthusiast, who likes learning new theories and applying them to various problems.
- I am a three times IMOTC qualifier and EGMO 2023 silver medalist.
- My MBTI type is INTJ-T.
- I love solving Olympiad math problems and teaching math to other kids.
- I run a very cool math club called The Philomath club.
- I don't have a favourite area in Olympiad mathematics, however, I tend to solve some of the geometry problems in the test, thanks to the amazing book EGMO.
- Apart from doing olympiad math, I usually spend my time studying school books, watching k-dramas, reading webtoons and making digital art.
- I love listening to K-POP ( TXT, Enhypen, BTS, Seventeen, Exo, G-Idle, Kard, Mamamoo, Black Pink, New Jeans, Lessarafim, NCT, Stray Kids, Red Velvet, Eric Nam, Woostein, Woosung, Sunmi, Somi) and Indian Indies( Western Ghats and Zaeden are my favs)

Some fun FAQs:
0. How should I use this blog?
Ans: I won't be biased. You can subscribe to this blog if you want to (you can unsubscribe whenever you want to)!
- The content I will be sharing is probably me writing solutions to ISLs and many more Math contest problems. And maybe rate them according to me. I personally prefer walkthroughs ( And I agree it's easier to write too, but I need to practice my proof-writing too! )
- You can simply binge-read my posts!
It's quite fun to see me suffering - I am a human. I won't post only math. I will be posting non-math too. The non-math content is pretty random. Sometimes I just post cat memes or sometimes some serious talk. But I assure you, this won't be boring.
- If you are a high-school student who wants to do good on Boards and in the olympiads too. I understand how much pressure you must be going through, so don't worry about the school. I have made notes for a few of the chapters of Class 10, which I used for myself! They are pretty nice ( sufficient enough for scoring 95% I guess?). Read them before you read the book. After reading the notes, read the book. You are set!
I think you can refer to my Humanities area and Bio notes! They are actually pretty good. Rest depends on how good you can "bend and write the answers with beauty."
You can get them on my Notes and Problem Sets page. - I have a Post log page. The main motivation to make such a page was to help other people to use this blog in the best possible way!
The archive widget and categories could possibly help, but this page is quite systematic. Moreover, I have given a basic preview of the blog post too!
