It Can Be Tricky Calculating the Location of Lagrange Points

I didn’t plan on writing this. My goal was to make a series of videos exploring all the cool aspects of Lagrange points (video playlist here). However, stuff gets complicated and I made some mistakes. So, here I am — trying to fix those mistakes. Oh, one more thing. My goal wasn’t ...

Update: I’m Still Active, the Math is Just Tricky

I’m just writing this article to let you know I’m still writing and to explain my future plans. As a quick summary, I’m still writing articles, but it’s just taking more time because the articles are getting more difficult and technical to write, I have less fr...

Tricky polynomial problem from Vojtěch Jarník

This problem is from another international math competition which we’ve looked at before; the Vojtěch Jarník International Mathematical Competition. While not as well known as the likes of Putnam, some of the problems can get just as hard if not harder! In this article, we tackle anoth...
