The Exam:
Joint Admission test for Masters (JAM) is a common admission test conducted every year for admission into M.Sc and other post-graduate science programs at Indian Institute of Technology (IITs), Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and National Institutes of Technology(NITs), organized by alternating institutes every year.
The Contender :
A brave and a somewhat kind soul is trying to make a place for herself in this world.Managing bullies while trying to make new friends is proving to be a challenge.Having clumsy habits is not making her life any better.Self doubt is killing whatever is remaining and all she has left with is hope.Hope that she will get better and her life with it.She intends to do this by appearing for the IIT JAM Mathematics exam.An exam where 15,000 students compete for 500 seats in the best colleges around the country.
Will she make it? How far will she go? We can only wait. And wait. And wait…..

how to fall in love with life again
go cloud-gazing, lay down in the grass on a sunny day, or empty roads on a rainy day, stare up at the sky and let your mind wander.
read a book so complex that you don't understand anything, fill your arms with scrawled definitions.
writing poems and notes of kindness, hiding them for other people to find and pass along!
read passages of love in another language, untranslated and realise that love can surpass even the greatest of barriers.
find your favourite flower! hunt for it, research it, write an essay on why you love it and how much it means to you!
buy another copy of your favourite book, fill the pages with annotations and give it to a second hand shop for somebody else to experience it the way that you do.
fill a journal with moments of your life, even if you don't think they're very interesting.
listen to music whilst looking at the moon and stars, realising how beautiful life is.
visit an art gallery or a museum near you. become familiar with it, visit it until you know it inside out. make it your special place.
learn the little things about people, including yourself. find their favourite colour and why, find their music taste, their taste in books until you know them perfectly.
the small things! taking sips of warm beverages becomes the most comforting thing, closing your eyes for a moment on a bus and focusing on the lull of movement.
bake/cook your favourite treat. experiment and find the way that makes it taste simply ethereal.
Heya!!
Today I revised all the topics I covered in Analysis 1 so far and did chapter 8 and 9.
Chapter 8 is about the algebra of limits.In there I learnt how to write proofs using ε-N method.There were quite a number of cases (with examples!).Most of them were good and could be deduced easily from previous theorems and axioms but I did find 4 proofs a little challenging.I have noted them down and I’ll be discussing those with my prof soon.
Chapter 9 was about monotonic sequences.In there I learnt about the monotonic sequence theorem and the proof of this theorem is very cute.This theorem's proof is very intresting because it connects to the theorem where square root of 2 is proved as irrational but it is more general.So it patches all the gaps on the real number line quit nicely.There were some examples too which I liked and I also learnt the steps of proving a theorem when monotonicity is involved.
It was a pretty cool day.
I hope you had a good day too^_^

[3.48 pm]The piecewise functions that I didn't like can be solved easily using greens theorem (Happy dance ).The only condition is that the terms gotta be continuous and bounded.I did complete my targeted 20 problems a day but not at all satisfied with the topic.So I am going to do the same topic tomorrow again but I will find some different problems.It suuuuuuuccccckkkksss when you do problems and still need more problems to perfect the concept but I am going to be patient because everything will be just fine after a year.

[10.43 pm] I usually wind up with my studies by now but I haven't yet finished some of it. So I am going to sit for 30 more minutes and finish it all off and not push it to tomorrow. I was helping my friend with experimental values for a physics experiment. You know those scientific notations I always used to find them boring when I first learnt about them but now after actually using them so many times I have come to appreciate them very much. Those notations feel like these delicate things to me now. You gotta handle those notations with care and when you do it will give you get such an accurate answer.its just a very nice feeling to see it come together.

[11.45] I completed a chapter of real analysis 1 and a very small chapter in group theory.I wanted to do a bit of linear algebra but I changed my mind and so I am gonna do it tomorrow.

🐻5th July - Do you have any special plans or activities for this summer?🐻
I plan on learning some cooking.The other day I experimented with some paneer recipes I found on Instagram and I have been making soya noodles a lot lately as well.They have become my comfort food 🐿I have attached an image I took of my noodles this afternoon.
🐰6th July - What do you usually do during the summer? Is anything different this year?🐰
For me summer means a lot of cycling.My dad and me wake up early in the morning and just ride our bikes till we are tired.There is a nice sun rise spot where we can have tea and enjoy the sunrise..This time we couldn't do it a lot because of covid but we did try to drink tea while enjoying the sunrise on our terrace but oh boy I do miss cycling.
🐼3rd July and 4th July of Summer Studying Challenge 2021🐼
Do you have a lot of work this summer?
The work is not a lot but I do need to be disciplined to get it all done.
What is the most important task that you need to complete this summer ?
I have to complete my mathematics assignments.These include Vector Calculus, Integral Calculus, Real Analysis, Linear algebra and Group theory.It might look like it's a lot but it is not.I have been struggling with Group theory assignment 3.It has been such a nightmare lol.I did speak to my maths professor about this and he said he will help me out.So a bit relived for that.
