CMI Tessellate - (S.T.E.M.S) Scholastic Test of Excellence in Mathematical Sciences

Chennai Mathematical Institute (CMI), a premiere center for research and education in Mathematical Sciences, is organizing a nationwide (India) Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science Contest, the S.T.E.M.S, as a part of the college fest Tessellate.

The Olympiads will be held in the beginning of January. Registrations are open: Link

By participating in S.T.E.M.S, you get to show off your Mathematics/Physics/Computer Science skills at a national level. And have the chance to attend a Science Camp at CMI, where you'd meet some of the finest mathematicians and physicists in the country, not to mention the gifts.

The camp will feature some of the best Mathematicians, Physicists and Computer Scientists from some of the best research institutes in India, like CMI, ISI Bangalore, IMSc, IISc and the IIT's, etc. (The complete list of speakers shall be uploaded soon.) CMI shall provide travel fare, food and accomodation for the selected participants. Students from all age groups will have fair representation. It promises to be a great opportunity for the students to interact with CMI-ites and get an insight about college mathematics and college life(probably in that order, though). The camp shall also feature student talks from students of the aforementioned institutes. They shall also receive certificates signed by some of the best mathematicians of the country, books and other prizes. The top 100 participants shall receive certificates of participation.

What is the syllabus?

[Disclaimer: Even though I am a staff at Brilliant, STEMS is not conducted by Brilliant. STEMS is conducted by Chennai Mathematical Institute and Brilliant happened to be the sponsor of the 2018 edition.]

Big chance!

Will not the answer to the mcq no.10(school category) be 46. I have done it in the following way. For first digit of "a" or "b" we have 8 choices,for second digit 2 choices,third is 0(only one choice) ,fourth digit has 3 choices. So total possible cases are 48 out of which ''a'' and '''b'' are becoming 0 two times and these must be eliminated(because they are natural numbers). So, required cases are 46. Please let me know where I am making an error.

This is what the Math Team said:

It's 48 of a and b are allowed to be 0

We have given points for 46 too
