Krishna's Messageboard
Hi. This is my official messageboard.
Few things about me:- I'm 15 y/o Indian from Tamil Nadu. I like math and I'm honoured to be a part of such a wonderful forum. I like languages and more particularly, the cognitive science behind them- Linguistics. I also love nature and most parts of biology.
I'd like to type less here . Over to the discussions! :D

What is the best book of mathematics which you have read till now?

Mathematics is a book in itself. XD

By book, I mean the book of which author or publication ?
Log in to reply
Which is the best one that you have read ? The worst one ? The most toughest one ? The most easiest one ? Your favorite one ?
@Anik Mandal , @Krishna Ar
This question is for the both of you !
Log in to reply
Though I haven't read as much books as Mr.Krishna has...Yet my favourite book is Hall and Knight Higher Algebra .And the worst ones would probably be the CBSE or NCERT standard books which wades through the topics without going to the depth...What's your opinion?@Azhaghu Roopesh M
Log in to reply
Hmm , I can't decide on any one as my fav book . It's just that I read specific topics from specific books .
For example :
Theory of Equations , Synthetic Division from Hall and Knight .
Multiple Integration from Paul's Online Notes and from I A Maron
And many such …
Btw , the Miscellaneous Questions from Class XI and XII NCERT TBs are good . (around Level 4 , I guess! )
Also , how did you fare in your Boards ? Good , I guess .
Log in to reply
Well, the miscellaneous questions in class-11 are not too advanced as level4's I guess. BTW, the integration part of class-12 ncert sucks! >:o Mind suggesting some good sources please
Log in to reply
You might want to try this. That book contains some of the best Calc questions that I have solved (and those I have tried to solve) and some good topics .
You might also want to try Coord. Geo by SL Loney and Plane Trigonometry I and II by the same author .
I am presently in the 8th grade and I didn't give the boards.How was yours?
Log in to reply
Sorry ! I got confused seeing that your age is shown as 15 .
Btw , they weren't too bad . Also you must have heard about the Maths exam right ? The furore caused by it !
Well, I feel I haven't touched upon any part of math too well to suggest you specific books . True that- NCERT books suck and so does the CBSE education system.
Wohoo! So, you have a message board as well now. That's interesting! As a biology guy here in a particularly math forum, was it your "own" choice to chose Biology over Math? And yeah, you are really a superman, I foresee you as a AIPMT, AIIMS, AFMC, NEET, and IIT qualifier. And I am serious here. How do you manage? Well, you like languages? Try making your own language, that's my advice. Because I do so quite often! BTW, what is your main research point?* *your future research point
Log in to reply
I will add some more questions if I get any.
Hahaha! I'm in splits. You're extolling me to a great, a really great extent. -_- I am no superman. Duh. BTW, I am a huge fan of your awesome calculus skills. If the soothsayer in me ain't wrong, your name should be there in the IMOTC list next year and in the IIT&BITS list the year following that. Though linguistics is my newfound passion, Languages and I go a long way back. I am what a few people call as a Grammar Nazi. I'd love to pursue research in Molecular biology. The question about managing, I'm sorry ; I have to revert it to you. 11 and 12 are two damn big years. I still have to develop time management skills (i badly lack them). Biology over math: Well, largely a mix of both my opinion and family opinion, rather should I say that the ideal of becoming a doctor was ingrained into my cerebral cortex by my mother right from the days when I was a toddler?
Ah, there you go, an answer good enough to last you for a cup of cappuccino ! :P

A cup of cappuccino, well that would be costly enough to me but yeah a glass of water is a better one. Well, what answer, really! Straight to it! Well, what you just said about me, is all a lie and for the world to know, he has an ability to throw the ball back into your park very well(yeah of course with the help of his linguistic skills, he can just win over a conversation by reflecting what you say in a very nice manner.
I hope I am not rude there but that's a really good quality, really good. I appreciate that. But just another question - how does success and achievements matter to you?
Log in to reply
I haven't tasted real success (as defined by me). I also feel that I lack inner peace which makes me susceptible to panic attacks which in turn make me hyperventilate and lose sleep. :/ Life is a conundrum, truly.

How to prepare for RMO ?What books to study and other stuff?
Log in to reply
RMO doesn't need much preparation If you're from Brilliant. I'm sure you'd know your Grade-10 math well and also know Inequalities (both alg and geom.). Do a bit of NT. Refresh your combinatorics. This would suffice. :)

Une question :
Quels sont vos projets pour l'avenir?
What draws your interest in Linguistics? Are you a Chomsky fan?
Log in to reply
To give you a basic example (without much ado)- let me take the case of word roots , ie: their etymological origin. Morsel means a small bit of something (food) in English, and in French it is Morceau! The word for sugar in Tamil as well as in Malayalam is Shakkarai/Chakkara. In Hindi it is Shakkar. In Sanskrit : Shakkarah .
The fact that English is a West germanic language and French is a Roman Language makes them distant , but their alphabet and word patterns are so similar!
Same with the latter case. Tamil is Dravidian, Hindi is Aryan, Sanskrit Proto Indo-European/Anglo Indian (origin debated). Despite so many differences, the myriad similarities one can draw between languages is mind-blowing.
Log in to reply
It seems that you're interested in many things, and it's adventurous. I happen to have the privilege of being able to entertain and appreciate many forms of human endeavor. Now what i find scary about that is that one needs to be a fanatic 'time manager' to live a normal life with the ever going randomness of ideas. I find it very hard to cope up sometimes. BTW it was nice knowing that you can create a language!
Log in to reply
Hi sir
Do you have any plans on creating your own message board ? I am just curious!
Log in to reply
I've never thought about having one as apparently i think i'd not be able to answer every question due to my laziness. And i don't like ignoring curious kids. So maybe at a point in future when i'll be less busy in other stuffs. Thanks for asking Azhaghu.
Actually I'm the worst at time management. I can't imagine the next two years! (11&12)
Well, I didn't get interested in Linguistics by reading books. In fact, I haven't even read one. By linguistics, here I mean analysing patterns of syntax, word formation, phonological similarities and other intricate language based stuff. I actually got interested in this sphere of study after I qualified a problem solving test in linguistics. It was fun. We had to solve problems based on a corpus given. The corpus was from a totally unheard-of language. Eg:-Some random Afrikaans sub-dialect!. We had to use logic, deduction and reasoning to get to the answers. This inspired me to further research about Ling. I haven't really researched much, but I can happily say that I have done enough to know how to create a new language :P.
About the Chomsky part- I sure have heard of him, but I haven't read his books yet! I'm yet to formally learn computational linguistics (which I hope I can try to do now)
Enjoy your vacation!!

Thanks a lot! I would not mind giving up this streak and getting a -370 day streak, if someone were to let me live those days again after my 10th standard exams.. I wouldn't even mind giving the board exams again. (I hope this helps you in planning the days ahead)
Log in to reply
Which means you were studyin' in your 10th vacations? :O
Log in to reply
Yes. I tried learning calculus by myself, but then my classes started for JEE, which was fun too, but it stopped the calculus part.
Log in to reply
SO how did you continue that part?
Log in to reply
I didn't. I keep thinking that I have to start again, but somehow it escapes. Now, they'll be starting calculus in class..
Log in to reply
Dude , you're level 4 in calculus!
Log in to reply
Yeah, I studied the basics before I stopped. We were also taught basic calculus for physics. Physics, especially mechanics has a lot of calculus. I know how to differentiate a function and basic integrals, that's it... The level 4 came from doing the application based questions of calculus, word problems and the like.. Whenever I see a question requiring me to evaluate an integral for which I do not know the formula, I close the question and move on. This is what I want to stop by learning calculus for real..
Btw why did it take you so long to create your message board ?
Log in to reply
I did it purely at your behest.
You are really Genius in just 15 age! So , In which class you are ? what are your future Plans ?

What's your favorite English Novel ? Your favorite Author ?
Log in to reply
Good question. I have read a lot of children's classics in my childhood days. Almost all of them impressed me. So, I wouldnt be biased and choose one of them as my favorite. Instead, I prefer mythology (NOT myth-fiction) in contemporary style. My picks: RL Green (Greek&Egyptian), Ramesh Menon/Kamla S (Hindu-Indian) :)
Log in to reply
Why not myth-fiction? Have you read "The Great Indian Novel" by Shashi Tharoor? Draws quite a bit from mythology and history. Or Rick Riordan for Greek/Roman/Egyptian myth-fiction, though his books are a bit childish.
Also have you read anything by contemporary Indian writers like Salman Rushdie, Amitav Ghosh, etc? Or any other books not mythological? TBH, I've read a bit too much of mythology and it doesn't really interest me anymore.
Log in to reply
Forget about childish , I have read all of Ricks Mythological books .
Percy Jackson and the other Olympians
Heroes of Olympus
Kane Chronicles
and rest of his works from the 39 clues series ⋱
He is my favorite author though . Who's yours ?
Log in to reply
George Orwell by far. Rick Riordan's later books IMO especially the Heroes of Olympus became more "formulaic". I absolutely love 39 Clues though. I've got the entire series 3 and 4 to read. Probably in the Summer vacations. Have you read Amish Tripathi's "Shiva Series" or Ashwin Sanghi's?
Log in to reply
Have you read the Cahills vs Vespers series ? I have yet to read some books of it .
Yes . I have read the Shiva Trilogy . For now , I think that's the best book series written by an Indian author .
As for Ashwin Sanghi , I still haven't read any book by him . Can you recommend some good books by him ?
Log in to reply
Yes I have read the Cahill's vs Vespers series. Really good but not as good as the first series.
As for Ashwin Sanghi, I personally haven't read his books but people consider his books to be an Indian version of Dan Brown.
Also try to read "Skeptical Patriot" by Sidin Vadukut. Its tries to check the various scientific claims made by various people. Really good Book. What book would you recommend?
Log in to reply
Well , I mostly read fiction and mythological stuff and am personally a great fan of the Mystery . So I guess there aren't many people out there sharing my interests . But if you ask me , I'll suggest the following :
All the books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (I have read all )
The whole series of : The Gentleman Thief by Maurice LeBlanc
All the works of Agatha Christie
Many more mysteries …
Seriously I could write around 20 more books relating to the genres that I've mentioned above , but I don't think you'd like to read these types of books .
P.S. You may think what kind of a person I am or something like that but really , I am not into these Non-Fiction type , books by Indians (sorry about that , it's just that no Indian author writes the the types of books I like ) , and I don't like the works of Chetan Bhaghat .
Yes , you may hate me for that last part , but I personally feel that his works are nothing but nonsense .
Again sorry for such a long reply .
Also if you want some recommendations for any manga , feel free to ask me (but I doubt that you'll ask!)
Log in to reply
I've read all of Arthur Conan Doyle's work, but not much of Agatha Christie. I tried taking a few books from Patna library, but the books were so fragile and the pace of the novel so slow, I gave up.
I seriously recommend "Skeptical Patriot" though. Its an awesome book.
Why wouldn't I ask? I always get confused between Anime and Manga, and haven't found a good place to start. Any suggestions.
Log in to reply
Anime is the animated version of Manga , as simple as that :)
Well some of my favorite mangas are (in no particular order):
Naruto
Captain Tsubasa
Detective Conan (My Favorite one !!)
Death Note
Lots more :) …
If you want more suggestions , please ask .
Also I read manga from here or from here . Both are the same sites only .

Well , it wouldn't be an overstatement to say that I am what I am due to Mysteries and there has been a significant contribution to that by Detective(a.k.a Meitantei) Conan !
TBH, I don't read (in the sense that I read only sparingly) contemporary fiction. So, I definitely am against myth fiction. I feel that it totally damages the underlying beauty of mythology. Sometimes, you have to let the ancient things be the way they are. I have read few excerpts from Salman Rushdie . I haven't read A Ghosh, but I've read Arundhati Roy, Bibuthibhushan Bandopadhyay etc. By mythology in contemporary style and by emphasizing that it wasn't myth-fiction, I wanted to clearly draw a line between the original/factual base and the tampered /tinkered ones.
Log in to reply
Oh. Sure. No problem. You should seriously move on to History though. Especially after 1947. How about classics? Have you read George Orwell?

See MAT Paper Was Easy But The Main Thing Was Time Management. I Attempted 37-39 Problems And Got About 34-35 Correct.English Language Was Easy I Did 47 And Got 40 Correct . In SAT I Found Biology Tough(Because i haven't studied biology much),Physics And Chemistry Were Easy Except A Few. In Maths Some Questions From Mensuration Required Calculations So I Had To Leave Them Still I Did 17 in maths and got 16 correct . in social science history was average but some questions of reasoning were confusing.Gegraphy And Economics were Quite Easy But civics was somewhat tougher.Overall it was balanced.expecting 98-108/150
Log in to reply
Wow. 108 is really high, Maybe youll be among the top-10 (As far as I 've heard, even if you avoided silly mistakes, crossing 100 is really tough in this paper) It wasn't balanced at all, maybe because you are really good, it was.
Log in to reply
How Much Are You Scoring? (I Heard You Stood 1st in stage 1 in whole tamil nadu) thats awesome!! :)
Log in to reply
The difficulty of the paper was extremely higher than previous two years. I didn't really expect a Talent search exam to be of this high level. Usually (without negative-earlier), cutoff would be around 90-95/150 or 145-50 /200 (when it was the easy peasy one for 8th standard), but with this years super hard math and tricky physics section, and not to forget, the incorrigibly lengthy MAT, I am hoping that the cutoff falls by a substantial amount. How I wish English was included too for marking! :P
Log in to reply
I Too Agree That The Paper Was Tougher Than Last Year.
I am of the same opinion as you @Krishna Ar . I too wish if english was included. I badly wish for cutoff to be reduced substantially.
Log in to reply
I know right, but could you share an approximate score ? @Manish Dash
Log in to reply
I think SAT-54, correct & 9 mistakes, MAT-25 & 2 mistakes.
That means, my score may be, 54-9/3 + 25 - 2/3 = 79 - 11/3 = 75.33
Log in to reply
Thanks Manish. Lets wait for the official key and result. Do let me know though if any of your friends have done exceptionally well (LOL, i hope no one has!)
Log in to reply
I believe I could have scored more but if I had managed the time better. I don't think I will qualify.
Log in to reply
Don't lose hope. 76 isn't bad and I am not too far away. I made 18 silly mistakes (out of 23), beat that! (Actually in a way, all mistakes are silly, but let's say the most silly mistakes)
Log in to reply
Thank you for your advice.
Yeah; I made some really intelligent mistakes, though. -_-
Log in to reply
Why don't you tell us your expected score?
Well, I was among the 2 students who qualified from our school. I do not have touch with the other selected student and so I cannot tell about the performance of any other students. By the way how much are you expecting ? @Krishna Ar
Log in to reply
Well my score isn't too great :( I am quite ashamed of the heaps of silly mistakes I made. My score is mostly around 92-95. :/ (After negative) If I hadn't prepared for social, I wouldn't have crossed 65 (passing score ) LEL Last year, there was no cutoff, since only 773 people cleared MAT . This year I am hoping for divine intervention for the cutoff to drop or something like last year ( only 750-770 pass MAT) etc to happen. Fingers crossed. BTW Did you give that Dreamworld Exam this year also? (In which you topped) @Manish Dash

Hopefully all of us ( i.e. the Brilliantians who gave NTSE Level 2) get scholarship and we give party to the other members.

:D Then , we need to get started thinking about virtual parties :P
Well, no, I came 3rd. I messed up physics (got only 5 correct :'( ) and Math a bit. I scored decent in MAT ( Many couldnt even attempt 25). Overall I am expecting around 92.5-97.5(max) . I made a lot of damn silly mistakes (4-5 in MAT, around 7-8 in SAT), and also left some really easy questions and went for lengthy ones and not to mention lost 2.66 marks because of interchanging the shading pattern. I really don't want the cutoff to be high (you can clearly see why :P )

When I Saw Maths I Was Amazed. i was not expecting such type of problems(which are level 3-4 problems on brilliant) to appear in ntse . But thanks to brilliant i was able to solve them . Secondly Physics Was Tricky (Specially the waves,motion and light part). I Know you are excellent at biology so you must not have faced any problem but it attempted only 11 in bio and got 8 correct i am bad at biology . so in class 11 which stream have you taken?? i guess biology
Log in to reply
I have taken Biology :) . In fact I am even more disappointed because I messed up that interchanging in Bio, I could have got 14/14 but getting 11.33 :(
MAT according to Allen Key (which is actually fully right) around 30. :/ Whats your SAT score?
Log in to reply
In SAT I Scored 70-72 and in mat around 31-35
Log in to reply
wait let me check according to allen key!
Log in to reply
Is it after reducing according to negative marking? If yes, then congrats, you dont even need to worry about NTSE
Log in to reply
Yep after negative marking
How Much Did You Scored In MAT?(Just For Curiosity)
Well I Got 32 According to ALLEN Key. i have one doubt dont you think answer to question 17 Of MAT Should Be A?. Because there may be some teachers who are doctors
Log in to reply
Well, AFAIK, doctors are really busy that most of them give up on their assistant professorship and I'm sure that they wouldn't put you to think so much in a paper that's already damn tough.
Log in to reply
ok lets wait for official one!.if you have time you can post a set of ntse maths problems (3-4 ) which are the best ones. because i dont know much about posting problems on brilliant(you can also see my account. :P
Log in to reply
Haha. Yep, official is better. Please dont talk about NTSE maths. It still gives me the jitters :'(
I almost felt like a NOOB while doing the problems and sucked at them really, they were real tough and lengthy
Log in to reply
ok lets forget about what happened and wait for results.all the best to you!!
Log in to reply
Yeah thanks :), Mr. NTSE Scholar.
Log in to reply
no please wait for results to come!!! i cant say anything
Log in to reply
Chill, I am 100% sure that anything above 100 will clear. Anyway, lets w8 fr results
Log in to reply
Thanks and i am also sure that you will become a ntse scholar too :D
Log in to reply
Thanks. Hope the cutoff is low
I don't think so. If you consider a previous problem from the NTSE, they put French and German in different boxes, but if some teachers can be doctors, why can't some words be common to German and French?
I felt the exam was too tough for me. Moreover I had no coaching for NTSE LEVEL 1 and LEVEL 2 and also I did not get time to prepare for the exam as my classes for Class 11 had started from 23rd April and I had to manage with that.
Log in to reply
I could attempt 49 questions in English, 27 in MAT and 63 in SAT. Unfortunately for me, I knew a correct answer but marked it wrong on OMR in Social. I was extremely dejected and disappointed with my performance. I do not have any expectations to get scholarship . I had not expected such high level questions
Log in to reply
@Krishna Ar As far as the keys are concerned, I believe I can grade my performance on the basis of the official key. But I do not know when it will be released.
I too did not attend coaching. The main thing why Delhites dominate and score so high( A really nerdy girl has the highest score perhaps in All India i guess) is because of caoching and practice. Where do you attend currently
Log in to reply
Currently I attend Sri Venkateshwara Classes in Vizag . It is purely based on IIT and does not give coaching for any other exam
@shubhendra singh How was NTSE stage-2? (I guess you must have qualified after reevaluation? )
How much are your friends scoring?
Log in to reply
Unfortunately after the revaluation the cut-off was increased by 1 mark, so I still missed it by 1 mark. Most of my friends are scoring in 80's and 90's. There are a few who are expecting over 100(the toppers).
Log in to reply
Whew thanks for the relief ( Many 80s and 90s) Feeling sorry for you, that you missed it by 1 mark ! Did Satvik qualify? (I lost touch with him, so just wanted to know)
Log in to reply
Yes Satvik did qualify, he was quite lucky as his score was same as that of the cut-off.
Log in to reply
He doesn't even care to reply ! On an approximate number, how many are getting 90+ and how many 100's?(or 100+) and How much is he getting? :P (I am sorry for this nosy part)
Log in to reply
Approximately 9-10 are scoring 90+ and about 5-6 are scoring 100+.I can't tell you how much satvik is scoring (sorry abt that)
Log in to reply
Thanks! No issues :)
@Ashu Dablo : Hi! What are your expectations (Ntse -lvl 2) and how many 90+'s do you know of from your FIITJEE center or local (Haryana state) Thanks
Log in to reply
Hello dude! Long time no see. How's life? NTSE went fine. Expected marks 106 or 107. There are quite a few 90+ students, the lowest I know is 82, with around 4-5 students in the 80's. Rest everyone above 90. What about you and students from TN?
Log in to reply
Well, I am scoring around 92-93 only and people here are mostly scoring in the 70s and 80s with a few 90s. Your score is really very good and I guess I would have scored that much had I avoided those 8-10 really really silly mistakes. Haryanvites and Delhites have done really well this time
My friend Sameer pande. Is getting 120 marks in NTSE stage II
Log in to reply
Ohhh ! FIITJEE made an announcement that there are around 3 people scoring in 120s in India. Now I got to know 2 of them.
Log in to reply

Obviously this guy (Sameer) and National topper Miss. Aditi Vikas (122.9)
@Prakhar Bindal - Is you total score 96 in NTSE now?
Log in to reply
Yep(They are around 95.4 or something i dont remember exact figures).but why are you asking ? and do you have any idea about the results?
Log in to reply
I have no idea and I am really eager about them. I asked because I am a bit worried too since even my marks have dipped.
Log in to reply
What Is Your Final Score Now? I Think cutoff will remain 80-83.what are ur views?
Log in to reply
I dont know but I dont want the cutoff to be that high. I am getting around 86-87.
