MathOnFridays – Week 48 – Before session begins

November 26, 2012 8 comments

I am traveling on coming Friday. So I will not be able to take a live Webinar. I will record the session, upload it and make it available at my blog and facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/MathOnFridays).

In the coming week session, I will be discussing IITJEE past year problems from 3D topic (3-dimensional Coordinate Geometry) topic. It makes a perfect sense to cover 3D after last week’s session on vectors. Though these two are separate topics but we use vectors at multiple places in 3D.

MathOnFridays – Week 47 – After the session ends

November 24, 2012 6 comments

 

Please find the recording of week 47 session where I discussed IIT past year problems based on vectors. Personally I liked this class very much. It was surprised when I found  the level of the vector questions asked since 2007. Vector is definitely among the top 3 difficult topics of JEE preparations (other two are probability and complex numbers). But when I was solving these questions in one go before the class, I realized that most of the questions were based on fundamentals.

In all there were 16 questions asked in last 6 years (2007 to 2012). Out of them 12 were easy and rest 4 were either average or difficult. There were 3 questions based on scalar triple product and 3 on vector triple product. All these six questions were easy. Around 3 based on geometry where you just draw figure and you get the answer. Rest were from dot product and cross product but most of them involved fundamental concepts.

My advice : I am sure many of you find Vectors difficult. There are so many questions in module and books. So please don’t get overwhelmed. Focus on fundamentals and practice the fundamental questions and leave unnecessary difficult questions. I don’t want to say you will be given easy question to solve in the coming JEE exam but it is important that you gain confidence on this topic so that you are ready to apply fundamentals.

Please give feedback of this sessions and your views.

Please find the video recording of MathOnFridays Week 46. Some students complained about audio quality. I think it is obvious from the video recording. May be it is a problem with me mic. I will change my mic.

MathOnFridays – Week 46 – Before the session begins

November 15, 2012 11 comments

As it is a first session tomorrow, I want to keep a topic that is of interest to IITJEE 2014 students too. I understand many of MathOnFridays sessions will be for IITJEE 2013 students as there syllabus is on near completion.

Tomorrow I will discuss Complex Number problems from last few JEE papers. There is no need to go through these questions before the class though I will try to upload the PDF if I could type them on time. I am JIT (Just in Time) kind of person who does things just before the deadline 🙂

I know even IITJEE-2014 students have studied Complex Numbers. So everyone can attend this session. If possible, revise your class notes before the class.

Hoping best to effectively utilize your and my time through “MathOnFridays”.

Starting new webinar series – MathOnFridays

November 12, 2012 27 comments

I am going to start a webinar series “MathOnFridays” from coming friday for those who are preparing for IITJEE. 

On every friday, I will take a webinar (session) on some topic. The duration of the session would be around 1-2 hours and it will be conducted at 9.00 PM. It is little late but during the day most of you have your classes at VMC centers.

These sessions are completely optional. So if you miss any of the sessions, there is no need to panic. 

Some of the topics I have in mind for these sessions include Test Series and HRT, IITJEE papers of previous years and some problem solving from module. If you have suggestions on what to cover in these sessions, please let me know through comments.

The link to register for these sessions will be shared at Edmodo.
