@IamThat, there is a telegram group by the username @upsc_maths. It has quite a large population of maths optional people. Can post the discussion questions there.
Other than that, there is a group of mathocrat - the guy has a youtube channel with the same name and has great teaching skills. That group is also very helpful in doubt solving.https://t.me/mathocrat
yes.@AlexanderSupertramp Thanks a lot. I'll check it out. Do you have math optional too?
How are you guys planning to move with maths in the post-pre-phase? Have thought of any sequence of topics to be followed post pre. Are you planning to take up tough/lengthy topics first or the relatively better ones first?
P.S. Asking since it's almost time to get into the prelims mode and this is what I've been procrastinating about lately :P
This seems like a really cool and intuitive approach.
Just want to confirm if this approach is correct? The IMS solution for the PYQ contains partitioning of matrices. I don't see why we need that here. Thanks!
It is almost cathartic when all the terms of the determinant (involving 12 variables in total and 4 variables per term)» show previous quotesThis seems like a really cool and intuitive approach.I did it by the brute force method. Though the calculations got a little bit tedious but got the result in 5 steps (of which two were quite tedious and confusing where we find the determinant of the matrix C :P).
Hey, thanks! I took some inspiration from the IMS solution, was too scared to go the brute force route! :P
Haha, I'll now do it by your method just for the fun of it. I can totally see myself spending 30 minutes only to find a teensy calculation mistake!
cancel each other.
Feels great even when you know that you balanced and changed the subscripts of some terms just to get you to the right answer :P :P
