Happy Birthday to Greatest Mathematician Ramanujan

Image
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 1914 Ramanu...

Introduction of Value based questions in all major subjects in classes IX-XII w.e.f. session 2012-13.

Dear All It is to bring to your notice that CBSE has decided to follow an interdisciplinary approach in value education where values are intermingled with the content of all the major subjects in classes IX to XII. The Board has also decided to assess students for 5 percent weighting in the major subjects through questions which will be integrated with the content of the subject and analyzed on the basis of the values it reflects. The questions will be for 5 marks in a question paper of 100 marks and 3-4 marks in a question paper of 70-90 marks . This will be effective from the Summative Assessments-II 2012-2013 in classes IX, X. The Board Exam in 2013 for Classes X (Summative-II) and Class XII will also have such questions. Sample Papers for Class XII: Mathematics   Sample Papers for Class X:    Mathematics      For other subjects and related circulars refer Circular numbers Acad-21/2012, 22/2012, 46/2012 and 47/2012 in CBSE new site http://www.cbse...

Maths Workshop at S. D. School, Pitam Pura

Dear All It is a matter of pride and pleasure for Mathematics community that Government of India has declared the Year 2012 as National Year of Mathematics to commemorate the 125 th Birth Anniversary of eminent Mathematician ‘Sri Nivas Ramanujan’. To pay our homage to this great man, it is decided to start a series of programme in the year 2012 with the intention of making it a mass movement namely ‘Mathematics Movement’. A three day workshop at S. D. Public School was scheduled from 26 th July to 28 th July, 2012. It is a matter for pride for me that I was invited there as a Resource Person to take different sessions on the topic “ Solving Real Life Problems using Mathematics ’”. (click here for the solutions). I was there to take interactive sessions on 27-28 July with the students. It was really a great learning experience. I thank Ms. Anita Sharma, Principal S. D. School for having trust on me and Sh. H. R. Sharma Sir , Principal from my school for allowing me to be a part of...

Workshop by Prof. M. M. Pant

Dear All On 28 June , I (along with whole staff of CRPF School) attended a workshop by renowned Physicist and Educationist Prof. M. M. Pant . It was a great learning experience. The two things which inspired me the most are as follows: A. A famous quote about IsidorIsaac Rabi (born American physicist and Nobel laureate recognized in 1944 for his discovery of nuclear magnetic resonance ) “My mother made me a scientist without ever intending to. Every other Jewish mother in Brooklyn would ask her child after school: So? Did you learn anything today? But not my mother. "Izzy," she would say, "did you ask a good question today?" That difference--asking good questions--made me become a scientist.” So, one should always ask questions and seek for the answers. B. Harvard University’s list of skills that make an “educated person”: 1.      The ability to define problems without a guide. 2.      The ability to ask hard questions which challenge...

Making Mathematics Simpler! NCERT class XII Solutions

Dear Students Of Class XII It is observed that many a times, after teachers have explained certain topics and have discussed certain questions from the related exercise, not all the questions of the exercise are being solved/attempted by the students. It is practically impossible and undesirable for the teacher to solve each and every question in the class itself. The remaining questions are supposed to be attempted by the student at home. However, it is very much possible that the student is unable to successfully solve all of them. After discussing this issue with the students, I have decided to make the NCERT textbook solutions available at my blog. The solutions are taken from www.meritnation.com. You can directly visit this website but you will first need to register there and the solution of only one question can be seen at a time. This might be a cumbersome process while you are checking your answers. Therefore, to  save the student’s time and to make those solutio...

HAPPY PI DAY

Dear All Pi Day is held to celebrate the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is observed on March 14 (3/14) ,due to π being roughly equal to 3.14. Pi Minute is also sometimes celebrated on March 14 at 1:59 p.m. If π is truncated to seven decimal places, it becomes 3.1415926, making March 14 at 1:59:26 p.m., Pi Second (or sometimes March 14, 1592 at 6:53:58 a.m.). The Pi Day celebration includes public marching, consuming fruit pies and playing pi games... The founder of Pi Day was Larry Shaw,a now retired physicist at the Exploratorium who still helps out with the celebrations. HAPPY PI DAY :)

Success Mantra for Students - Tips to Manage your TIME

Dear All Studying is a big commitment and needs time to work on it. Managing time is the best way for students to succeed. By managing your time, other commitments can be fulfilled and you can study without distractions.  You need to balance time. If you are bad at balancing things make a personal timetable. Even if you do not stick to it, you will have an idea what you should be doing each day. This is better than trying to do everything each day and, at the end of the week, not achieve anything. Choose a degree you are generally interested in rather than studying for the sake of having a degree. You will learn more because you are interested in the subject. Always look at your assignments as a challenge rather than saying "it is too hard". A task thought of as too hard can slow you down to a standstill. The same task thought of as a challenge can spur you on. It is best to keep up with your work. A timetable should be arranged each week, to ensure that you do not fall behi...
