Here is a book made from some problem sets I used to give Tejasi and her friends in my garage. The explanations have been added later on. Most of the kids who took these problem sets benefited...in the sense that they began doing well in exams. Here is a collection of the problem sets for grade 6.

The q-disease
Special Functions,
by Andrews, Askey and Roy.
Here's a belated review,
and a thank you.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Beauty in mathematics,
said Polya,
is seeing the truth
without effort.
Everything
in The Book
is as elegant,
as could be.
Everything
as simple,
as effortless,
as should be.
Everything
as beautiful,
as it is.

Design II
Ambigram by punyamishra
A great design:
Everything fits in nicely
into one complete whole.
Not a hair out of place,
and not one thing
more
than what is
needed.
The form
and the function,
made for each other.

Paradox
Paradox
Ambigram by punyamishra
All Cretans are liars
said Epiminedes,
a Cretan,
a classic Paradox.
If Epiminedes tells the truth
then he must be lying.
And if he is lying,
he is telling the truth.

Watson-Crick
Ambigram by punyamishra
Watson and Crick
show
what fun it is
to be
a scientist.
What fun it is
to discover
something new.
What fun it is
to compete
with the best
and win.
Watson and Crick
discovered
the secret of life
itself.

Internet II
Ambigram by punyamishra
Small knots
woven together
become a net.
Flexible, stable,
and very strong.
Small computers
inter-connected
become the Net.
Unleashing
the power
of communication,
of creativity,
and
of community.
Small individuals,
linked together
become the
Internet.

Dog
Dog
Originally uploaded by punyamishra
A dog,
wags his tail,
seeks attention.
And licks your face,
without asking for
your permission.
Comes up close
and becomes
personal.
And becomes
your best friend.

God
God
Originally uploaded by punyamishra
GOD
looks the same
whichever way
you look at it.
Look down from the top
or up from bottom --
and find GOD.
Look in the mirror
and see GOD.
Just like the 0,
symbol for
nothingness.
But still,
required,
to count from
one to infinity.
