This is a scratchpad of sorts to test the capabilities of Pelican.
Let's start with an Image:
Big buck bunny looking real handsome ;) Some tweaks have to be made to expand
the image on click but this is ok for now..
Let's try headings!

The ISC Exam results were released on 10th June, 3 PM IST. In this article, I'll be analyzing the results of the 117 students in the science stream of my school and showing how they performed. I'll also weave a story with the data and point out things that could …

A long time ago, I gave my friend (Let's call him C) an integral to solve. He came back to me a few days later and the conversation went something like this:
C: Debu, I couldn't solve that African integral you gave me.
Me: Ok, but why are you calling …

I generally don't post stuff that is extremely specific to JEE, but this time I'm willing to make an exception.
A lot has been said about Concepts of Physics by Dr. H. C.Verma and it's usefulness for JEE Preparation. The website itself claims that
Students from the past twenty …

Consider the icosahedral resistance network shown in the following figure. Each edge is made of a rod of resistance $r$. Select the option(s) that is(are) correct:
A) The resistance between points A and B is $\frac{r}{2}$
B) The resistance between points A and B is $\frac …

This list consists of the limits that I found most challenging.
- $$\lim_{n \to \infty} \left( \frac{n!}{n^n} \right) ^\frac 1n$$
- $$\lim_{x \to 0} \left( \frac{1}{\ln(x + \sqrt{x^2+1})} - \frac 1{x+1} \right)$$
- $$\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{n + n^2 + n …

Simple limit problems consist of the form $\lim_{x \to 0}\frac{O_1(x)O_2(x)..}{O_a(x)O_b(x)..}$, such as $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin 3x \tan 2x \tan^{-1} 5x}{x^2 \ln(1+x)}$. Here, the infinitesimals are well defined and cancel out easily. Some …

The USA currently stands at 1.76 million COVID-19 cases. That's more than the next 5 nations combined. A large number of these cases are due to government inaction against the virus. The lack of a concerted lockdown across the country is also to blame. Here's a graph showing the …

The Previous COVID regression analysis was fairly accurate. However, the opening of lockdown offset the statistics a bit and now there are more number of projected cases. Here is a recomputation of the statistics, which projects an average of 172,000 cases by June 1 and 520,000 cases overall …

This is an interesting number theory fact that seems strange when taken at face value. Here's a small proof of it:
