Recommendations (Feb '22 version)

(Draft, I'll update it soon and when final, I'll update this to a page instead of post.) Here is a relatively comprehensive list of resources, books etc. that I believe are the most helpful to students. I have tried to divide it based on difficulty level and subject as much as I can. Hopefully, this list is helpful and I've added a few comments on why I like a particular resource. Okay, let's get started! One thing to note is as important as improvement is, I believe the first goal with Mathematical Olympiads has to be that you thoroughly enjoy it and improvement will come heavily as a consequence. Listen to Baba Ranchoddas people. With this in mind, these are not only the books that I learnt the most from but also the ones I enjoyed the most. (Very few books that I have added are ones that I have not read myself.) The definitions of grade levels and difficulty is a bit arbitrary since I myself had done none of this before 10th grade. I am well aware of most books that ...

Introduction

 Hi! I am Rohan Goyal, a student of mathematics and previously a math Olympiad contestant. I also teach students for Olympiads now privately and in camps, thus there is a fair number of problem sets, handouts etc. that end up being produced some of which I fair out enough to be made public. I made this a while ago just to store my faired out handouts/notes but I might write stuff about math or random things in the future since the link to the blog is now available publicly. I hope the handouts are useful and I'll try to keep them updated with things I write.  Thanks for reading!
