[daring sparrow]

Painfully explicitly, $I=\frac{aA+bB+cC}{a+b+c}$.

[fringe fjord]

K

[gilded halo]

literally anything

[ashen hatch]

Ah you're gonna work on sets soon. Yeah the symbols can look a lil weird. But, you'll get the hang of it.

[daring sparrow]

typing this was hard 🥶

[severe eagle]

Express only in terms of a, b, and c

which are the points

[daring sparrow]

i mean technically

[fringe fjord]

Its the first chapter of jee maths

[daring sparrow]

$a=|B-C|$ and etc

[gilded halo]

literally anything

[ashen hatch]

Ah icic

[daring sparrow]

it's just shorthand notation

i am NOT writing allat tho 🙏

[severe eagle]

[daring sparrow]

If $a$, $b$, and $c$ are complex numbers, then their incenter is defined by $\frac{\sum_{cyc}a|b-c|}{\sum_{cyc}|b-c|}$

[gilded halo]

literally anything

[fringe fjord]

Also they use a little bit of sets sign very basic in quadratic equations literally anything

[daring sparrow]

basic set theory knowledge?

[ashen hatch]

yeah as i mentioned U could also be used for intervals, what it looks to be here.

[fringe fjord]

That is what I was asking should I do sets first or basic mathssssss

[daring sparrow]

both sets then math 🙂

[fringe fjord]

Lol

By basic maths I mean chapters inequality logarithms wcm modulus equations.

I already know algebra trigno geometry basic quadratic equations

And many more

[daring sparrow]

yeah, sets then math

"sets" are intuitively things that contain other things

[fringe fjord]

Okm

Hm

[daring sparrow]

so [2,4] contains 2, 3, and 4, and numbers in between

[fringe fjord]

Oh

[daring sparrow]

(in fact, set theory is actually how you define everything in math)

[daring sparrow]

(everything is a set, technically, but ignore this :P)

[fringe fjord]

Ok

But some things are not set

Like you would not consider infinity to be a set

Sets are well defined no?

[daring sparrow]

technically, modern math is built on the assumption that everything is a set, even numbers

[daring sparrow]

yes

[daring sparrow]

infinity must be a set

if we have elements other than sets, they're called urelements

sometimes we define things in terms of the urelements

so for example, we take R as a set with urelements being the reals

[sturdy thicket]

r u talking about usamo?

[daring sparrow]

no

[sturdy thicket]

oh

[fringe fjord]

Hmmm

[daring sparrow]

we can do things with these urelements

for example, we can add them

1 + 2 = 3

we can take sets of urelements

so for example {1, 2, pi, e}

we can even take infinite sets of urelements!

for example, we can take {1, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001, ...}

[daring sparrow]

this set is well-defined

(ignore the fact that taking infinite elements sounds like nonsense, the theory of sets is super complicated)

the set [2, 4] is defined to be the set of reals between 2 and 4 (including 2 and 4)

so if a real number x satisfies 2 <= x <= 4, then x ∈ [2, 4]

and if x ∈ [2, 4], then 2 <= x <= 4

(minor note: the epsilon relation ∈ classifies the notion of being "in" a set. for example, 1 ∈ {1, 2, 3, 4, 5})

[soft vigil]

yeah idt this is competition math

[daring sparrow]

me neither

bro is yapping about nothing

[daring sparrow]

anything but discussing the incenter

[gusty storm]

how do u lock in for the euclid

[soft vigil]

For what

[daring sparrow]

by locking in

[gusty storm]

ok

[fringe prism]

wha

[fringe prism]

hEl no

[swift imp]

I’ll do it if you do it

[fringe prism]

ill do it if YOU do

[swift imp]

Ok what do u wanna hear

[thorny tusk]

.

[umbral glen]

Is this discussion about classical music by any chance?

[smoky urchin]

No bruh

[umbral glen]

it seems so

i meant not the channel lol

[fringe prism]

idk, anything

[fringe prism]

LOLLL

[frank hornet]

lol

[fringe prism]

hi

[zinc ridge]

no

[zinc ridge]

wait urbdoing undergrad math

[daring sparrow]

yeah

[zinc ridge]

in 7th grade

[daring sparrow]

yeah

[zinc ridge]

what course

[daring sparrow]

fun

[zinc ridge]

hug

huh

[daring sparrow]

i just do it for fun bruv

[zinc ridge]

like multivar calculus?

[daring sparrow]

yeah i already took that 💀

[zinc ridge]

ok bro

[daring sparrow]

that's easy stuff

[zinc ridge]

bruh

ok boi

this cuys probaly taking real analysis or smth

[zinc ridge]

wait

so ur done with calc 3 but couldnt qual aime?

[daring sparrow]

yeah

because im too focused on undergrad shi

[zinc ridge]

ok

[fringe prism]

ok

[frank hornet]

ok

[radiant jasper]

ok

[fringe prism]

hi

[zinc ridge]

k

[inland totem]

ooh

[fringe prism]

qual aime > calc 3

[inland totem]

u should do differential geo

it's fun

trust

[daring sparrow]

i;m trying bru,v

[inland totem]

holy spelling

[soft vigil]

aime qual is much easier imo

[zinc ridge]

bruh

i barely made aime

[fringe prism]

someone say imo?

[soft vigil]

in my opinion

[zinc ridge]

and i still dk what a determinant does

[soft vigil]

calc 3 u need to know a lot of theings to do it

aime qual is just problem solving

with some prep it shouldnt be that hard

[fringe prism]

bruh pov no natural talent

[soft vigil]

by solving problems u learn the common patterns

thats basically it

[fringe prism]

alr time so solve problems

to*

[inland totem]

hmmm

[inland totem]

higher math is useful sometimes in comp problems

[soft vigil]

besides basic calc idts

[inland totem]

ehh ye

[zinc ridge]

yah like darivatives and ijterveal

[inland totem]

wait did u do this yr's aime i p12

[zinc ridge]

no

[inland totem]

hmmm

ok

[zinc ridge]

stawp dilently hudging me

hmm

[daring sparrow]

how i feel after working in mod 1

(most useful modulus award 🥹✌️)

Z/1Z+ is isomorphic to the trivial group btw 🥹✌️

[daring sparrow]

ok this has a very trivial proof

i'm actually pretty dumb for not realizing this

by affine geometry the line between two points A and B is tA + (1-t)B

[graceful kernel]

hii

[daring sparrow]

between A and B, the angle bisector of C intersects with AB at the same place where (1-t)/t = b/a

t = a/(a+b), so the exact point is (aA + bB)/(a+b)

and then the line through C and that point is tC + (1-t)(aA + bB)/(a+b)

[daring sparrow]

create a system
tC + (1 - t)(aA + bB)/(a + b) = uB + (1 - u)(aA + cC)/(a + c)
and do something funny

[daring sparrow]

this equation ADMITS a point and it's I = (aA + bB + cC)/(a + b + c)

since this is the intersection of angle bisectors we're done

admit orz

mitte

[daring sparrow]

ooks now we need to find the excenter

exercise for the reader btw

but by stewarts and stuff it gives a pretty trivial way to find the center of a triangle

[daring sparrow]

mitter

hint on excenter

the angle bisectors all intersect at the excenters

it's a matter of finding them

for the A-excenter, find the perp of the B-bisector and intersect it with the A-bisector

\textbf{Theorem}. Let $a$ and $b$ be complex numbers. Then the line perpendicular to $ab$ passing through $a$ is $a+(a-b)it$ for real $t$.

[gilded halo]

literally anything

[soft vigil]

Why using complex

[daring sparrow]

becaus affine geo suck for perpendicualr

[soft vigil]

You know Epstein did that right

yea

[scenic kestrel]

slap mod 1 onto any solution and call it number theory 💰🥀

[thorny tusk]

son i cant make it past amc 10 😭

[thorny tusk]

o

[inland totem]

did u know he got a perfect 15/15 on aime

trust

[thorny tusk]

is it a reference to both imo 2024 p5 and cmo 2026 p3 😭 ???

[thorny tusk]

ok buddy

[scenic kestrel]

bro i probably wouldve made aime if maa fixed the cheater problem

[thorny tusk]

ohh yea

bro the cheaters also cheat aime and dont even go to usa(j)mo

[inland totem]

then they have to prove themselved at usajmo

what's the point of cheating

[scenic kestrel]

but the thing is people get more scared to cheat the higher level the competition is

[inland totem]

cuz bigger penalties if caught

[viral sierra]

Cheaters js dont want ppl to see how norz they acc are 💀

no its cuz its too hard to cheat

they also dont wanna do imo

[hazy jewel]

what math ru taking?

[zinc ridge]

alg ii

[hazy jewel]

in hs or rn?

[sturdy thicket]

why would he say it if he was taking it next year

[hazy jewel]

bc like many school districts dont let u take alg 2 before hs

[sturdy thicket]

yeah but no one would say alg 2 if theyre taking geometry

also some let u do alg 1, alg 2 and then geo

so he might do geo next yeaer

[zinc ridge]

rn

[sturdy thicket]

yeah see

[hazy jewel]

my school is so bad

[zinc ridge]

my school has no restrictions

[hazy jewel]

most ppl in my grade get to take alg 2

[sturdy thicket]

yeah but thats not happening

[zinc ridge]

u could take calc 3 in ms if u could

[hazy jewel]

i cant go more than geo in my school

[sturdy thicket]

what state

[zinc ridge]

what grade u in

[sturdy thicket]

8th

[scenic kestrel]

i dont think calculus is really useful in hs competitive math unless im maybe wrong

[sturdy thicket]

8th is peak year

[zinc ridge]

durlol

[sturdy thicket]

yeah its useless

[zinc ridge]

i got a higher score on the aops practiceamc 12 than 10

dont askkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[sturdy thicket]

same but for anything past geometry theres a bus that takes u to high school to take alg prcal and stuff

[hazy jewel]

did u guys take amc 8 or 10 this year?

[scenic kestrel]

both

[sturdy thicket]

both

[zinc ridge]

bouth

[hazy jewel]

what did u get?

[sturdy thicket]

umm

i prefer not to say

i dont like telling amc scores its stupid

[hazy jewel]

I got 20 last yr on amc 8

ididnt do amc 8 this yr

[zinc ridge]

cheeters

[sturdy thicket]

cus it feels like either bragging or being stupid

[hazy jewel]

[zinc ridge]

109.5

[sturdy thicket]

this is why i dont say scores!!!!

[hazy jewel]

nice

[sturdy thicket]

cus when one person is higher its awkward

[fringe prism]

bruh fax

[fringe prism]

SOOOOOO FAX

[zinc ridge]

it happens all the time

[sturdy thicket]

the only non stupid thing about saying scores is if u tied

[zinc ridge]

how is it awkward

[hazy jewel]

i jst learn from my mistake and try getting better next time

[hazy jewel]

how many question did u leave blank?

[zinc ridge]

like 9

[sturdy thicket]

if u go to smn and say i got a 105 and ur proud and he tells u he got a 145.5 how would that be

[scenic kestrel]

i think stuff like mathcounts is better because the pressure isnt all in scoring good

[sturdy thicket]

personal experience

with the 145.5 thing

[zinc ridge]

uh

[sturdy thicket]

exactly

[zinc ridge]

i got a 31 at mathcojnts states lol

[scenic kestrel]

its like just a fun experience

[sturdy thicket]

wait no what

i mean ig

cus its not as pressuring

also mathcounts is way different than competition math

[zinc ridge]

yeah its way more speedbased

[scenic kestrel]

yea

[sturdy thicket]

yeah

[hazy jewel]

my new school doesnt have math counts but at my old school i was like 4th smartest

[zinc ridge]

[blissful cypress]

Hi what's this for?

[ivory ember]

Math competition stuff. People discuss more general things about contests/cutoffs/etc here, sometimes people ask for help, and sometimes just fuck around lol (as is typical in the comp math community).

[blissful cypress]

So can we get like questions to solve by people

[ivory ember]

There’s definitely plenty of questions that have already been asked here. (Digging images that have been sent in the past is probably your best bet.) You can also look at actual past contests. I’ll give you a random one from my stock for funsies

,w random number from -184 to 5900

who sent the scam images

[inland totem]

hi

oh this is tuff

[fringe prism]

H

I

[viral sierra]

Hallo friend!

[fringe prism]

[viral sierra]

good. ty for asking friend

[inland totem]

🥹

[fringe prism]

np curiousgorilla

[fringe prism]

hi

[sturdy knoll]

amc final five makes the solutions sound so simple

[inland totem]

its cuz they either pull out the most random formula or use the most obscure simplification

[sturdy knoll]

bro i need to know these formulas

idk from where

[inland totem]

alcumus maybe

[sturdy knoll]

i’ve started doing all the past papers from the 2000’s

[inland totem]

or aops books

[sturdy knoll]

hopefully that helps

[inland totem]

i'm glazing aops ik 🙏

[sturdy knoll]

do i js read vol 2

or

do a specific one

[inland totem]

a topic specific one would be useful when u wanna improve in that one specific topic

[sturdy knoll]

do you think doing the topic ones

like all 3 topics

i think it’s 3

is better than doing vol 1 and 2

[inland totem]

uhh

if u have the time ig

they go more in depth

[sturdy knoll]

cuz imma start at intermidiate and grind frlm therw

[inland totem]

yaey

[soft vigil]

i wonder why

[silver forge]

Fryer galois and hypatia is in six days

[hazy jewel]

Do the newer ones Bc the new ones are prob the same amt of each type of question like stats was much more in 2010s but now it’s more problem solving

[silver forge]

plens this is why you have no friends

[hazy jewel]

What is that

[inland totem]

calm down bruh

[silver forge]

waterloo contest

[fringe prism]

thank u friend

[thin pumice]

NONONO IVE BEEN WORKING ON THAT DAMN SCI FAIR

[sturdy knoll]

thank you friend

[thin pumice]

YES BUT I NEEDA DO MY DAMN REPORT 😭😭😭

[silver forge]

Bro just try all the problems during test day

[inland totem]

[silver forge]

Even in 4, the only hard one is the last two imo

[thin pumice]

im gonna fail. i alr did for pascal

[silver forge]

How

[thin pumice]

YES BUT SHE DIDNT MARK MY CLASS YET

[silver forge]

ts yrs pascal was easier

[thin pumice]

bellow distinction is fail

[silver forge]

Oh

Same for me

[inland totem]

well gl guys

[thin pumice]

bro i was crying before after and hring aint no way i focused

[thin pumice]

u got distinction?

[silver forge]

Marks arent out yet but i verified my answers with ppl

i got first 22 correct and did a stupid mistake

so no honour roll

[hazy jewel]

Nice

[silver forge]

but mark my words im getting honour roll for fryer

[inland totem]

hmm

[hazy jewel]

Cap

[silver forge]

Bet

Once results r out ill show u

If i get school champ ill take selfie

[thin pumice]

wish u luckkkk ur smart and u can do ittt

[thin pumice]

they r for school 112 cutoff

i missed BY JS A FEW POINTS

ONE MORE BLANK

😭😭😭

[silver forge]

Appreciate it

Your grade eight no?

so no need to worry

[silver forge]

that was last years avg

this yrs will be higher cuz it was easier

[thin pumice]

it was 94.7...

[thin pumice]

well if i fail a math contest, i lose my streak but i have no streak rn so true

[silver forge]

do u mean for school champ

[thin pumice]

no average

[silver forge]

how the hell is it that low

[thin pumice]

most of my classmates got double digits

[fringe prism]

ya np

[silver forge]

but theyre not grade nine

tbh it wasnt that much harder than gauss imo

[thin pumice]

but we are a special class doing the mth1w curriculum, which means were learning the same thing

and our schools credits r so dumb no high schools let u skip those

[silver forge]

so essentially the credits arent worth shit

[silver forge]

I think accellerated courses arent necessarily good

Learning fast isnt good unless your understand the stuff well

[thin pumice]

yes

[thin pumice]

we all be doing math outside of school tho, most of us alr know trig and geometrical functions

[thin pumice]

we js doing review on what we learned like last year or the year before

[inland totem]

hmmm

[inland totem]

oh

kewll

nough

guys i know the answer i js want an explanation

bc im confused

[carmine junco]

ok thx

[zinc ridge]

aops will save you

[pliant snow]

What makes you confused and what's the solution you're reading

[kindred wraith]

you have the answer but not a solution?

like you know you got the right answer from somewhere or do you think youve figured it out and just want to check/make rigorous?

[zinc ridge]

used brute force to solve, want to make rigorous

[kindred wraith]

okay, firstly, lets look at something that is easier to count/observe: intersections

can you see how many intersections are happening? once you see that, can you see how the number of intersections relates to the number of regions?

[noble thorn]

Can u guys give me tips on how to approach number theory proofs. I'm a beginner. I've just completed divisibility chapter

[inland totem]

@thin pumice u should be concerned

[silver forge]
