Atul Shatavart Nadig, 17, attends Shri Ram Global School in Whitefield, Bengaluru. His devotion and hard work paid off when he won the gold medal at the 64th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) in Chiba, Japan.
“Math problems and math itself are beautiful and I discovered that it was something I was passionate about,” said Atul Shatavart Nadig.
Being a math enthusiast from the beginning, it was the Olympiad that made Atul realise that the subject is beyond what he learned in school. “In classes 9th and 10th, I used to try to broaden my horizon and then I discovered that there was so much more in math than we are taught in school,” said Atul.
Atul shared his preparation technique, stating that he did everything himself utilising web resources. “I used websites like The Art Of Problem Solving, which has a lot of resources in terms of problems and their solutions, and I joined an online math club Discord Servers, where I could interact with other subject enthusiasts, and that helped me a lot because I couldn’t find anyone interested in Math like I was in school.” As a result, meeting other individuals was incredible,” said Atul, who received a 95% in the CBSE class 12th board exams.
