Nihar Mahajan's messageboard.

Hello every positive min(TREVOR) !

Since many of my friends are motivating me to create my own messageboard , so here's my messageboard . You can leave messages for me here.

Also FYI : I like carrots and there is no specific reason for it.

Do reshare this so that I can reach most of the brilliantians.

Lets start with a nice quote by the legend Albert Einstein:

$Do \ not \ worry \ about \ your \ difficulties \ in \ Mathematics \ .\ I \ can \ assure \ you \ mine \ are \ still \ greater .$

Cheers!

Easy Math Editor

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Do you like mangoes ?

Venkata Karthik Bandaru - 6 years ago

Yeah I like mangoes but a specific breed of them which is called Alphonso mango.I like them because they are tasty.

What is your favorite low tech and high tech way to track progress on your habits?

If for a moment you start to feel overwhelmed by the complexities of life, how do you simplify to get where you want to be?

Harsh Shrivastava - 6 years ago

Ans 1) I have no favorites as such.

Ans 2) Take a deep breath, and let all the chaos and frustration flow out of you. Focus not all all the things you need to do, or that are coming up, or that have happened, but on what you’re doing right now. And just focus on doing one thing, right now.I would take a walk, get some fresh air, and get some perspective. Try to think about what’s most important to you, what your perfect life would be like, what your perfect day would look like.

Hey Nihar , here's another awesome quote by Albet Einstien -

$\large \textbf{"The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education." }$

Harsh Shrivastava - 6 years ago

It feels like the good problems on brilliant are going and the community is deteriorating.

Clive Chen - 5 years, 2 months ago

So true :(

Rohit Udaiwal - 5 years, 2 months ago

You may discuss this on Andrew's Messageboard, so that your opinion reaches the staff.

Nihar Mahajan - 5 years, 2 months ago

@Siddharth Singh I just saw your set , titled "Memories Remain". What is the significance of the title? Do you mean that you are separated from your friend? I am curious.

Nihar Mahajan - 5 years, 6 months ago

@Siddharth Singh I am waiting for your reply.

Nihar Mahajan - 5 years, 6 months ago

@Adwait Godbole Hi, I am also studying in MPA since Grade 8 and I am entering grade 11. I also attend Sanjeet sir's lectures for physics since grade 9. I came to know about you from Sanjeet sir and you always hit the top rank in MPA's test. Though Calculus was not taught in MPA till 10th, I have learnt Calculus from brilliant and other few books. Since I am entering 11th, I need your advice. How should I plan study in 11th and 12th, which studying habits should I adopt? I have whole April month in hand, what topics should I prepare in April? (I am also preparing for NSEA,NSEP) . Please suggest a single book in Math,Physics and chem which you feel is the best. If you have time, please give me some tips as well. Also, how was your JEE Mains paper? And Best Luck for Advanced. Sorry for troubling you, if you have time, please do respond :)

Some contests are also being held on Brilliant: JEE-Advanced Contest , Brilliant Sub Junior Calculus Contest, etc. Please do participate :) Thanks!

Nihar Mahajan - 5 years, 2 months ago

Hi, @Nihar Mahajan , its a great thing that you already have studied a bit of calculus. Your personal study plan would depend on your strengths (and weaknesses). As your classes begin the daily schedule would start to shape up automatically. Only ensure that you never stay behind the class, not even if it is a topic you do not appreciate so much. As, for current study, I would say just unwind a bit!! Go on a vacation. Don't worry you have a lot of study coming your way!! Even then if you feel like it, I would suggest you to strengthen and consolidate topics that you are already pretty comfortable with (which would be mostly maths, for obvious reasons). Throughout pay a lot of attention to mastering fundamental concepts. Initially (not in the exam) it doesn't matter even if you spend one hour on a single problem, to go into the intricacies, and look at all the variations possible and new techniques that could be developed and applied to ten other problems of its genre. Best of luck!

Adwait Godbole - 5 years, 2 months ago

Thank you very much for your positive response :)

Nihar Mahajan - 5 years, 2 months ago

@Nihar Mahajan – Which book do you study for maths (IIt-jee) ? I don't find any which can get you level 5 in calculus, algebra , geometry , combinatorics , number theory all together.

Vishal Yadav - 5 years, 2 months ago

@Vishal Yadav – I refer to my class notes.

Nihar Mahajan - 5 years, 2 months ago

@Nihar Mahajan – Do they teach calculus in class 10 ?

Vishal Yadav - 5 years, 2 months ago

@Vishal Yadav – Nope.

Nihar Mahajan - 5 years, 2 months ago

@Nihar Mahajan – So what does notes refer to then ? Aren't they the class notes? Do they mean any coaching notes or your self made notes ?

Vishal Yadav - 5 years, 2 months ago

What is the meaning of (positive min TREVOR)? If I am not wrong , TREVOR is a name right?

Nitesh Chaudhary - 6 years ago

@nitesh chaudhary , That's a link. Open it, And you'll see xD

Mehul Arora - 6 years ago

Thanks Mehul for doing my job :)

Nihar Mahajan - 6 years ago

@Nihar Mahajan, can you give me some tips on how to improve in physics.......I am facing a lot of trouble in mechanics.

shivam mishra - 5 years, 4 months ago

Hm , I may not be able to give you good tips , but @Abhineet Nayyar @Samarpit Swain can. Actually , even I want some good tips ;)

Nihar Mahajan - 5 years, 4 months ago

But still I think you are good in physics ( you have a level 5 in classical mechanics)

shivam mishra - 5 years, 4 months ago

@Shivam Mishra – Well , then buy Fundamentals of Physics by Resnick , Halliday. And if you sincerely complete doing this book properly , you would have mastery in physics. (I am doing the same)

Nihar Mahajan - 5 years, 4 months ago

@Nihar Mahajan – Thanks!!!!!!

shivam mishra - 5 years, 4 months ago

Congrats!

Here's another thought:

Imagination is more important than Knowledge - Albert Einstien

First question: Why do you like carrots?

Sravanth C. - 6 years ago

Nice thought indeed. I like carrots because they are tasty.

Nihar Mahajan - 6 years ago

Hello! I think you like carrot because the word carrots has 7 letters and the word Mahajan also has 7 letters:)

howsthat!

Siddharth Singh - 6 years ago

@Siddharth Singh – May be. But the probability that this will be the actual reason is $0.1729$ .

Nihar Mahajan - 6 years ago

@Nihar Mahajan – Sir Ramanujan might have helped you in finding that probability.

Siddharth Singh - 6 years ago

@Siddharth Singh – May be.But the probability that he might have helped is $0.007$ .

Nihar Mahajan - 6 years ago

@Nihar Mahajan – did bond help u here ? :P

Abhinav Raichur - 6 years ago

@Abhinav Raichur – Yeah , you noticed it.For completeness , its James Bond. (some people may think bonds of chemistry). :P

Nihar Mahajan - 6 years ago

@Nihar Mahajan – The probability that you may be in class 10th is 1.So how are you preparing for boards and also do you take part in SOF Olympiads?

Siddharth Singh - 6 years ago

@Siddharth Singh – Yes , your probability is correct. I am not interested much in scoring in boards. I am interested in IMO (not the SOF one) , and of course IITJEE.I am preparing really hard for it. My school does not hold SOF Olympiads so I don't take part in it.

Nihar Mahajan - 6 years ago

@Nihar Mahajan – Do you mean this RMO-INMO-IMO:)

Siddharth Singh - 6 years ago

@Siddharth Singh – Yeah . FYI : you forgot the important step of IMO - TC :)

Nihar Mahajan - 6 years ago

@Nihar Mahajan – Oh! I did not see your response earlier, well, you are right Training camp should also be included.Have you given RMO anytime?

Siddharth Singh - 6 years ago

Do you realize, You might be the fastest one to cross 1000 followers?

Mehul Arora - 6 years ago

May be.I don't know.Here's my senseless logic :

I like carrots.You can refer carrots to caret symbol "^" which resembles exponents. Hence my followers are increasing "exponentially". @Azhaghu Roopesh M I hope you get this logic as a reason.

Nihar Mahajan - 6 years ago

Next question.What's your obsession with Robert Downey Jr. ?

Arian Tashakkor - 6 years ago

Many people are Robert Downey Jr. fans and am one of them.

Nihar Mahajan - 6 years ago

TBH I am also one of the fans.I love his poise and relax and funny personality and all ...

Arian Tashakkor - 6 years ago

What do you want to become when you grow up?@Nihar Mahajan

Anik Mandal - 6 years ago

An engineer.

Nihar Mahajan - 6 years ago

Same here.How are you preparing for the same?

Anik Mandal - 6 years ago

@Anik Mandal – Well , nothing can be achieved without efforts in this world. Hence , I am preparing really well to achieve my goal.

Nihar Mahajan - 6 years ago
