The Four Pillars of Mathematical Olympiads
To score well consistently, you must build mastery across four core pillars: 1. Algebra 2. Number Theory 3. Geometry 4. Combinatorics A weakness in any one pillar limits your overall score. How to Score Well in Math Olympiads: The Right Way 1. Follow Structured Learning — Not Random Problem Solving Randomly solving Olympiad problems is […]
Olympiad Combinatorics — New Edition Released
I am pleased to announce the release of the new edition of Olympiad Combinatorics, a book written for students who want to think like Olympiad mathematicians, not merely apply formulas. This edition represents a complete structural refinement of the book—both in content philosophy and pedagogical design—and reflects years of teaching, mentoring, and observing how strong […]
Inequalities in Mathematical Olympiads: From Technique to Mastery
Inequalities are one of the most decisive and challenging areas of mathematical Olympiads. From national contests to the IMO pathway, inequalities test not just algebraic manipulation but structural insight, symmetry recognition, and strategic thinking. For many students, inequalities are where confidence breaks—or where true mathematical maturity begins. In this article, we explore why inequalities matter […]
The Pigeonhole Principle: A Powerful Idea in Olympiad Mathematics
The Pigeonhole Principle (PHP) is one of the simplest yet most powerful ideas in mathematics. Despite its elementary statement, it plays a crucial role in Olympiad combinatorics, number theory, and problem-solving. Many high-level problems are cracked by recognizing an underlying pigeonhole structure. This blog explains the principle clearly, builds intuition, and illustrates it with a […]
Olympiad Algebra — Official Book Release
I am pleased to announce the release of Olympiad Algebra, a comprehensive and rigorous book dedicated to advanced algebraic problem solving for Mathematical Olympiads. This book is the result of years of teaching, mentoring, and analyzing Olympiad-level algebra—across national contests, IMO-style problems, and advanced training programs. It is written for students who aim not merely […]
Olympiad Number Theory — Book Release
I am pleased to announce the release of Olympiad Number Theory, a comprehensive book designed for students preparing for national and international mathematics olympiads, as well as for learners seeking long-term mastery of number theory. This book is the result of several years of teaching, mentoring, and refining how number theory should be learned: through […]
How to Improve Your IB DP Mathematics AA HL Score: Confidence, Strategy, and High-Quality Practice
Scoring a 6 or 7 in IB DP Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches (AA) Higher Level is not about solving more problems—it is about solving the right problems in the right way. Every year, capable students lose marks not due to lack of intelligence, but due to: This article explains how you can systematically improve your […]
Book Release: Applications of Differentiation
Math By Rishabh Series I am pleased to announce the release of Applications of Differentiation, a new title in the Math By Rishabh Series, a collection of books designed to build strong conceptual foundations and disciplined problem-solving skills in mathematics. This book has been written with a clear objective: to help students understand differentiation not […]
Why Parametric Form Is a Game-Changer in Mathematical Modelling
One of the most important lessons I learned while working on my Mathematical Exploration (MEA) is that the choice of representation can completely change the difficulty of a problem. In many modelling situations, especially those involving motion, curves, or rates of change, using parametric equations is not just convenient—it is essential. This post explains why […]
