Free maths reference · Built for EMEA classrooms
Ganit means mathematics. Siksha means education. Connecting minds across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
One page. No sign-up, no cookies to accept, no app to install. Every time you open Ganit Siksha you get a different formula from the school syllabus, written out in plain English, with the one thing textbooks so often leave out — where you would actually use it.
A different one every time this page loads. Refresh the page, or press the button, for another.
sin²θ + cos²θ = 1
For any angle θ, the square of its sine plus the square of its cosine equals one.
Used by engineers and GPS systems to work with right‑angled triangles and to find unknown lengths.
Ganit Siksha is an informative reference, not a course. There is nothing to finish and no streak to keep. It is here for the ten minutes before a lesson, the evening before a test, or the moment a formula stops making sense.
Every explanation is written for a reader who may be studying in their second or third language. Short sentences. No jargon that is not explained on the spot. British English spelling throughout, because that is what most EMEA exam boards use.
A formula you cannot place is a formula you will forget. Each one here comes with a real, checkable use — squaring a room, pricing a loan, reading a weather forecast — so it has somewhere to live in your memory.
One page, a handful of kilobytes, no tracking scripts and no font downloads. It opens fast on a five-year-old phone and on a school connection shared by four hundred people.
A fair question for a site aimed at students in Manchester, Munich, Cairo, Dubai, Nairobi and Lagos. Here is the honest answer.
गणित (ganit) is the word for mathematics across Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Nepali and several other languages, all of it descended from the Sanskrit root gaṇana — to count, to reckon. शिक्षा (siksha) means learning, teaching, education, from the Sanskrit śikṣā. Put them together and the name is not a slogan or an invented tech word. It is a plain description: the learning of mathematics.
The digits on your keyboard travelled from Indian mathematicians through the scholars of Baghdad and North Africa into Europe — which is why they are called Hindu-Arabic numerals. Zero as a number, the decimal place system, and early work on trigonometry and algebra all moved along that same road. A Sanskrit-derived name on a site for European, Middle Eastern and African students is a small nod to a route that maths has already travelled, in that exact direction.
Two words, five syllables, spelled the way it sounds in most European languages: GUH-nit SHIK-shaa. It carries no accidental meaning in English, French, German, Arabic or Swahili. And unlike a generic name built from “math” and “hub”, it is memorable, searchable, and available as a single clean domain.
Siksha is a gentler word than “training” or “academy”. It implies patient teaching rather than drilling and ranking. That is the tone of the whole site: no leaderboards, no streaks, no pressure — just a clear explanation when you need one.
Say it: GUH-nit SHIK-shaa — mathematics / learning
Maths is the same everywhere. How it is taught, named and examined is not. These are the choices we made for readers across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Trapezium, not trapezoid. Metres, litres and kilograms. Comma or full stop as a decimal separator is called out wherever it could confuse. Temperatures in Celsius, money examples in euros, pounds and dirhams rather than only dollars.
Interest rates set by the European Central Bank, distances on a Eurostar route, ramp gradients under EU accessibility rules, irrigation across a field in the Nile delta. Familiar context makes an abstract formula stick.
The site runs from a European data centre, so pages load quickly from Lisbon to Nairobi without a round trip halfway across the world.
Most students in this region study maths in a language that is not their first. Everything here is written accordingly: plain sentences, defined terms, and no idioms that only make sense to a native speaker.
| Region | System | Stage this suits |
|---|---|---|
| UK & Ireland | GCSE, IGCSE, National 5 | Years 7–11 |
| International | IB MYP & DP | MYP 1–5, DP Applications |
| Germany & Austria | Abitur, Matura | Sekundarstufe I–II |
| France & Francophone Africa | Brevet, Baccalaureat | College to Lycee |
| Middle East | MoE curricula, British & American streams | Grades 6–12 |
| Africa | WAEC, KCSE, NSC, national curricula | Junior & senior secondary |
| South Asia | CBSE, ICSE, state boards | Classes 6–12 |
Everything on this page is drawn from ordinary school and pre-university mathematics.
Fractions, ratio, percentages, indices, standard form, estimation.
Expanding, factorising, linear and quadratic equations, sequences, inequalities.
Angles, area, surface area, volume, circles, congruence and similarity.
Right-angled ratios, the sine and cosine rules, graphs of trig functions.
Averages, spread, charts, probability trees, correlation and its limits.
Gradients, differentiation, integration, and what a rate of change really tells you.
Four minutes with a single formula beats an hour of scrolling. Try this.
Say the formula as a sentence, not as symbols. “Area equals pi times the radius squared.” If you cannot say it, you do not yet know it.
Cover the symbol legend and list what each letter stands for, including its units. Most exam mistakes are a mixed-up symbol, not broken algebra.
Invent the simplest possible example and work it through. A circle of radius 2. A loan of 100 at 10 per cent. Small numbers expose a misunderstanding immediately.
Where would this show up in your life — a bus timetable, a phone contract, a football table? Attach it to something real and you will still have it in six months.
Ganit (गणित) is the Sanskrit-derived word for mathematics, used across South Asia. Siksha (शिक्षा) means learning, teaching or education. Put together, Ganit Siksha means the learning of mathematics.
Yes. Every page is free to read, with no account, no sign-up and no paywall. There is nothing to install.
The material is curriculum-neutral and maps onto the mathematics taught in GCSE and IGCSE, the International Baccalaureate, the French Baccalaureat, the German Abitur, the Italian Maturita, national curricula across the Middle East and Africa, and CBSE and ICSE.
A new formula is selected every time the page loads. Most are written by an AI agent that is asked for one well-known school-level formula at a time, and the rest come from a hand-checked library that also acts as the fallback whenever the agent is unavailable.
Treat them as a starting point, not as a marking scheme. The agent is constrained to well-known curriculum formulas and every reply is validated before it is shown, but AI can still be wrong. Always check anything that matters against your textbook or your teacher.
No. The site sets no tracking cookies, asks for no account, and stores nothing about you. The only preference kept is your light or dark theme choice, which stays in your own browser.
