SQUARING A CIRCLE AND VICE - VERSA - A new approach

Dear Reader, We are well aware of the fact that SQUARING A CIRCLE AND VICE -  VERSA  (using straightedge and compasses only) is impossible because of the trascendency nature of 'pi'  which was proved by German Mathematician Carl Louise Ferdinand Lindemann in 1882. Even after proving this fact, many mathematicians like Jacob de Gelder, Kochansky,  our Indian mathematical legend, Srinivasa Ramanujan who showed his unmatchable ingenuity, tried to construct a square equal in area to the area of the given circle using different rational convergent of 'pi'. They adopted different modes of processes to arrive at the convergent of their choice and their mode provides little chance to reverse the process so that circle can be constructed from the given square. Viewing these deficiencies, KASIRAO. JAGATHAPU, a retired headmaster from V.C.B.R.M.Z.P.   High School, Nellore Dist., A.P. after years of struggle, devised a method not only answering the deficiencies ...

Many Mathematical competitions were organized on different days. 1.         POSTER MAKING COMPETITION  FOR CLASSES VI – VIII  (THEME:  MATH’S IN DAILY LIFE) 2.       ORIGAMI   FOR CLASSES III – V 3.        SCREENING OF VIDEOS BY VIG...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GENIUS MATHEMATICIAN - SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN

Image
Srinivasa Ramanujan (22 December 1887 – 26 April 1920) was an Indian mathematician, who made extraordinary contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. Ramanujan independently compiled nearly 3900 results (mostly identities and equations). His work continues to inspire mathematicians even today!  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 merit scholarship, 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...
