You were handed the formula. Nobody showed you where it comes from.
We fear what we don't know. Here, every formula for your exam is built from an everyday example before we use it. Once you've built it yourself, there's nothing left to be scared of.
Try one idea right now
This is how the first topic, permutation and combination, begins. One Sunday our gas cylinder ran out. Lunch and dinner both had to be ordered in. I have four favourite places in Bangalore:
- Meghana's
- Truffles
- Brik Oven
- Lavonne
Does order matter? No = combination. Yes = permutation.
No formula was used. We listed, and we counted. Every topic here starts this way.

Why I'm doing this
Maths was never just a subject for me. Breaking a big problem into small ones felt good, and it still does. I know it isn't like that for most people preparing for competitive exams. I can't promise you'll love maths the way I do. I can promise you'll stop being scared of it.
