Chronicle
The record of the circle’s pupils, year by year: their competitions, their research and the universities to which they proceeded. It is a record, not a measure; in the circle, competitions serve as a barometer of how a young mind is thinking, never as its destination. The same results are arranged by competition and by region under Competitions.
2026¶
Distinction: Rishabh Bhatia.
Fourteen of the fifteen pupils who sat the AMC qualified. Madani Harouach Valensi scored 15 of 15; Parth Sakharam Andhare, 14 of 15.

The team received a distinguished honourable mention. So did, in geometry, Parth Sakharam Andhare (ninth), Prasanna Mahesh Pawar, Ananya Kalia and Karma Pillai; in algebra, Prasanna Mahesh Pawar and Vibhu Konduru; and Kalkin Gandhi, in grade eight. An honourable mention in algebra: Shaurya Patil.

Nineteen pupils took part. In the international division, honourable mentions among the champions: Parth Sakharam Andhare, Shaurya Patil and Ashwika Nukala. In grade 12, silver awards to Parth Sakharam Andhare and Shaurya Patil, and an honourable mention to Ira KC; in grade 9, a bronze award to Ashwika Nukala. Eight more placed in the first quartile: Saarang Agarwal, Sritha Uppaluru, Arjun Rao, Daniel Sander, Vibhu Konduru, Alicia Zhong, Vidur Konduru and Shrivathsan Krishnan.
Gold certificates: Parth Sakharam Andhare, Ira KC, Daniel Sander, Thomas McCormick, Sritha Uppaluru and Alicia Zhong. Silver certificates: Arjun Rao and Darsan Sivakumar. All eight are invited to Round 1 of the British Mathematical Olympiad.
Crux Mathematicorum published original work by Shaurya Patil (MA344, in April) and printed, exactly as they wrote them, Vibhu Konduru’s solutions to MA351 and MA352 (in June) and Parth Sakharam Andhare’s to MA356 (in September). Pupils sent 113 correct solutions to the first three issues of Mathematical Reflections for 2026. In September the Research Seminar in Linear Algebra asked what the existence of bases costs, a week after a preprint on the question had appeared, and in October where the analogies of Grassmann’s dimension formula stop; both are recorded under Research.
