Notes related to classes

Here we summarize the activities of classes. The summaries will be sporadically updated. So you are encouraged to check this page every now and then!

In this file, you can find notes related to problems and topics discussed in math league. Please share your comments, suggestions, and corrections with us. If you have a solution to a problem mentioned in these notes, please share it with us. We might include it in the notes and mention your name. So far we have the following topics in the notes or in class.

Problems that are discussed in the information night.
Solutions of the problems mentioned in the info night and related theorems: Heron's formula, importance of transformations in problems in geometry, etc.
Placement test.
Solutions of problems in placement test and related theorems and techniques: Vieta's formulas, sieve of Eratosthenes, triangulation of a polygon, the inclusion-exclusion principle, Euler phi-function, basics of dilations, etc.

We have different activities in our Power and Factorial classes. Here are some of the topics that are discussed in the Power class.

Pythagorean theorem.
Pythagorean triples and ways to find all such triples.
Congruence arithmetic and how to use it to find the remainder of large powers of a number divided by another.
Pigeonhole principle and how it can be used in conjunction with congruence arithmetic.
Counting: permutations, choose function, number of ways one can go from the bottom left corner of a grid to the top right corner by just going to the right or up, etc.
Shoelace theorem.
Power of a point.
Ptolemy's theorem.
Telescopic sums, geometric sums, etc.
