WELCOME TO THE EXCITING WORLD OF MATHEMATICS

Hello All, Hope the class XII students must have done their maths paper well. Here is the question paper . Please check out the answer key of the paper. ALL THE BEST

The Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan Aiyangar (1887-1920) is best known for his work on hyper geometric series and continued fractions. Srinivasa Ramanujan, born into a poor Brahmin family at Erode on Dec. 22, 1887, attended school in nearby Kumbakonam. By the time he was 13, he could solve unaided every problem in Loney's Trigonometry , and at 14 he obtained the theorems for the sine and the cosine that had been anticipated by L. Euler. Ramanujan became so absorbed in mathematics that when he entered the local government college in 1904 with a meritscholarship, he neglected his other subjects and lost the scholarship. Ramanujan married in 1909, and while working as a clerk he continued his mathematical investigations. In January 1913 Ramanujan sent some of his work to G. H. Hardy, Cayley lecturer in mathematics at Cambridge . Hardy noticed that Ramanujan had rediscovered, and gone far beyond, some of the latest conclusions of Western mathematicians. In...

Hello All, I went for an educational trip (i know many of u r laughing) with XII C and D. Amarjeet and Beena madam were also there. It was really a wonderful n memorable experience... ( jitna socha tha ,usse to kam hi pereshaan kiya tha stuents ne..) finally, being a maths teacher.... i am giving marks to both the classes for their overall performance . class XII C scored 8/10 and class XII D got 7/10. not a bad score :) here is a video upload by one of my dear student...

Dear All Here is an enrichment assignment- I for class XI students. It is not meant from examination point of view. But if you really love maths, you will surly enjoy doing this. Happy learning... Amit Sir

Dear All Solve the following question: Here is the Solution:

Hello All Writing at my blog after a long time... My dear students and their love forced me to do so. Today 'Teachers Day' was celebrated in the school. I felt very good and honored by the love and affection shown by my students. Well, its not the cards or flowers which can ever make a good teacher but its the 'real' and unconditional love which do that. I thank to God to help me decide my career as a teacher. I am a teacher by choice and not by chance. I THANK ALL MY DEAR STUDENTS TO MAKE ME FEEL PROUD BEING A TEACHER.

Dear All Once open a time a lady wanted to hire a cook for her restaurant. She interviewed many candidates and finally she selected the one who impressed her in the interview. Lady was very impressed with his knowledge of cooking. He was like a cooking encyclopedia. On his first day of the job, lady thought of taking his trial. She asked him to cook “Kadai Chicken“. She started eagerly waiting for the food. Food was served and she had her first bite. It was pathetic in taste. She could not swallow even a single bite of it. The lady was shocked and asked the man “It is so horrible in taste. Are you sure you can cook food?” He replied, “Madam, sorry for the food. Actually I have never done cooking before. I just had taken lessons on cooking from experts and during my training classes, I saw the instructor cooking. Also, I have read and learned all the recipes of making excellent food.” Moral of the story is, there is a difference in knowing how to do things and actually being able to do ...

Dear All Let me take only a minute Just do the following multiplication : 13837 x Your Age x 73 = ? ? ? You get very interesting resut, let me know. You get the same result if you multiply 10001 * your age * 101 How is that?

NUMBER 37 IS AN INTERESTING NUMBER: SEE THE PATTERN: 111/(1+1+1)=37 222/(2+2+2)=37 333/(3+3+3)=37 444/(4+4+4)=37 555/5+5+5=37 666/(6+6+6)=37 777/(7+7+7)=37 888/(8+8+8)=37 999/(9+9+9)=37 hope you like it... do you have other number patterns to share... do write in comment section.

Setting Goals after Board Results There are certain basic fundas that you need to know while setting your goals : A) Write down all your goals separately . Writing is described as the act of inscribing characters or shapes on a surface to convey thoughts and ideas. Have you ever wondered why this symbolic, mechanical act is considered so important in the goal-achievement process? It is important because putting pen to paper gives body to our thoughts. It transfers non-verbal cues into tangible, concrete expressions. The writing becomes your signed testimonial. You can look at it, physically from a distance and it will remind you of what you promised yourself a year ago. This act of using your eye in co-ordination with your hand, while holding a pen, will make a firm impression on your mind, so while you are reading or re-reading a particular phrase, a sentence or a book section, this impression consolidates and slips deeper into our subconscious. B) Define go...

Deficient number -number whose proper divisors add up to less than itself. For example, 16 is a deficient number as sum of its proper divisors {1, 2, 4, 8} = 15. Abundant number -number whose proper divisors add up to more than the number itself. For example, 18 is a abundant number as 1+2 +3 +6 +9 = 21. Can you find the smallest abundant number? Happy number -number for which the sum of the squares of the digits eventually equals 1.For example, 203 is happy because 2² +0² +3² = 13; 1² +3² = 10; 1² +0² = 1 Can you think of another happy number? An unhappy number?

Dear All Solve the following question: well, we have a quick respose by Prabhat. Well done! I will appriciate if you could give your responses in the comment section of the post. Anyways, here is the solution:

Dear All Do you know any perfect human being! May be NO... But, in mathematics there are the numbers which are perfect. Let us consider the following definition: Perfect number -number whose divisors (except itself) add up to itself. For example,. 28 is a perfect number. Its proper divisors are {1, 2, 4, 7, 14} and 1 +2 +4 +7 +14 = 28. Well, Can you find the smallest perfect number? All perfect numbers less than 500. Is 360 a perfect number?

A math major studied hard in the university library all evening. On his way home, he felt very hungry so he stopped at a nearby pizza place and ordered a large pizza. When it was ready, the pizza guy asked him if he wanted it cut into six or eight pieces. The Math major replied, “Cut it into six—I don’t think I could eat eight pieces.”

Dear All Today, I am posting a very interesting problem. Waiting for your responses... QUESTION: Two women Mrs. X and Mrs. Y met each other in a park. Mrs. X : ‘‘Hi, how are you? How are your children? You have three children if I remember correctly. But how old are they now?’’ Mrs. Y : ‘‘Yes, I have three children. The product of their ages is equal to 36. The sum of their ages is equal to number of chairs lying in a park.’’ Mrs. X counted the number of chairs, thought for a while and said, ‘‘ I still can’t figure out the ages of your children.’’ Mrs. Y : ‘‘ My eldest son will definitely won math olympiad this year.’’ What are the ages of the three children? (Assume whole number for ages) Well, Here is the answer:
