Math Circle India is run by a close group of high school math scholars. We have excelled at math competitions, national-international olympiads and advanced selection camps. We balance our own busy school schedules to teach underprivileged students for free and share the beauty of higher mathematics. Together, we write problem sets, teach online, host local offline workshops, and run city tournaments.Â
This initiative was started by Tanishq Sharma, who designs the curriculum and guides our growing network. When not stuck in an endless loop of refining proofs, coding systems, or learning random new skills, he spends his free time playing the guitar and hitting the badminton court, where the main goal is to win against Shreyansh in a match. (which he often considers difficult than hunting odd perfect numbers). He is also a really well coder and uses computer science with mathematics to show how patterns change and what rules them. (This website was designed by him) He excels academically and also socially in many ways. He is open to team advices and suggestions (you too can give him one!).
His own journey through the grueling world of Olympiad preparation revealed how isolating self-training can be, instantly making him think of passionate students who do not even have access to basic reference books. Believing that a sharp mind should always be paired with hands-on, real-world action, he launched this "Hands for Minds" initiative to pass on the learnings and techniques what he learned, to underprivileged students. Having run this project entirely alone in the beginning, he has since surrounded himself with an awesome network of peers who share the same vision as him to scale the mission.
