About Math Nomad
A travelling workshop for mathematical ideas
Math Nomad is an independent project by Mohan Rajendran, a mathematician and educator at Azim Premji University. It brings together research-informed exposition, classroom investigations, Olympiad-style problems and interactive tools.
The project is built around a simple principle: a mathematical idea becomes more generous when readers can meet it in several ways. They may manipulate an example, read an argument, take a problem to a classroom, or inspect the computation behind a finite claim.
The intended audience includes students, teachers, problem solvers and anyone who likes mathematics enough to pause over a pattern.
What you will find here
- visual and interactive investigations;
- essays connecting experiments to proof;
- classroom-ready prompts and teacher notes;
- problems that invite extension;
- reproducible computation where it adds evidence.
Editorial principles
Invite first
Begin with a question, object or phenomenon that gives the reader something meaningful to do.
Explain honestly
Distinguish experiment, computation, conjecture and proof. Each has a valuable but different role.
Make it reusable
Pair an interactive with enough mathematical and pedagogical context for another person to use it well.
