WELCOME TO THE EXCITING WORLD OF MATHEMATICS

Dear Reader, CRPF Public School has fulfilled its motto of striving towards excellence by organizing and successfully completing its Sixth Intra School Mathematics Olympiad on 6 November 2015. Around 250 students enthusiastically participated in the Olympiad held in school premises. Hopefully, it was a great learning experience for all. It surely provided an extended platform for all the participating students and it is wished that it is utilized to its fullest. Check out the result here: VI-VIII RANK HOLDERS IX - XII RANK HOLDERS VI-XII MERIT HOLDERS Congratulations to all the rank and merit holders for their brilliant performance in the Olympiad.

Dear Reader, Math is important. It really is. Despite how you felt about algebra class or geometry class or even basic addition and subtraction, math is a life skill that applies to everyone, not just accountants and engineers. It is the language of many fields, some of which may surprise you. But math matters, in more ways than one. And while numbers and equations are a necessary evil to some and pure enjoyment to others, we need math to live. Below are five reasons why math is worth knowing. Starting with… Building Stuff: Balancing a cheque-book? Dividing rent among four roommates? Determining your share of the electric bill? How about taxes and student loans? Paying bills is the worst, no doubt about it. But you need to know some math in order to stay on top of your finances, balance your budget, and avoid all those overdrafts. Cooking: Surprised? Baking cupcakes and roasting a chicken requires math skills. You need to measure the ingredients in terms of teaspoon, tables...

1.  Russian King Peter the Great announced that no member of the Royal Family should marry until they pass in arithmetic, geometry and navigation. 2. There is no equilateral triangle, the coordinates of whose vertices are all integers. 3. There are only five Heronian triangles (triangles having integer sides) such that the perimeter is equal to the area. They are: (5, 12, 13) , (6, 8, 10) , (6, 25, 29) , (7, 15, 20) and (9, 10, 17). The first two triangles are right triangles also. 4. A plane can be filled with squares, equilateral triangles and regular hexagons. No other regular polygons can fill the plane without gaps. 5. Three legged stool is more stable than any other stool. The principle underlying is this fact is we can draw only one circle through three given points which are not collinear. That is why old people walk with the assistance of a stick (third leg) , or even think of tripod. 6. An angle of 3 degrees is the only constructible angle of prime mea...

Dear All, Mathematics, often called as language of nature has become an integral part of everyone’s life. In today's highly competitive world, one has to bear a lot of mental stress and also have to get involved in so many things in order to acquire knowledge. This is where co-scholastic activities play a very significant role. They provide the much needed exposure for a student. CRPF Public School has fulfilled its motto of striving towards excellence by organizing and successfully completing its Fifth Intra School Mathematics Olympiad on 6 November 2015. Around 250 students enthusiastically participated in the Olympiad held in school premises. Such Olympiads and events provide a great and extended platform for the students to nurture and showcase their ability and talent. It was a towering learning experience for the students of the school from class VI to XII. To encourage students, merit certificates will be given to those scoring at least 60% along with the normal prize...

A box of manuscripts and three notebooks. That's all that's left of the work of Srinivasa Ramanujan, an Indian mathematician who lived his remarkable but short life around the beginning of the twentieth century. Yet, that small stash of mathematical legacy still yields surprises. Two mathematicians of Emory University, Ken Ono and Sarah Trebat-Leder, have recently a made a fascinating discovery within its yellowed pages. It shows that Ramanujan was further ahead of his time than anyone had expected, and provides a beautiful link between several milestones in the history of mathematics. And it all goes back to the innocuous-looking number 1729. Ramanujan's story is as inspiring as it is tragic. Born in 1887 in a small village around 400 km from Madras (now Chennai), Ramanujan developed a passion for mathematics at a young age, but had to pursue it mostly alone and in poverty. Until, in 1913, he decided to write a letter to the famous Cambridge number theorist G.H. Hardy...

George Boole (2 November 1815 – 8 December 1864) , the British mathematician whose work on logic laid many of the foundations for the digital revolution, has been honoured on the 200th anniversary of his birth with a special Google Doodle. He was an English mathematician, educator, philosopher and logician. He worked in the fields of differential equations and algebraic logic, and is best known as the author of The Laws of Thought which contains Boolean algebra. Boolean logic is credited with laying the foundations for the information age. George Boole was the son of a shopkeeper. This working class of people was not given a high level of education. He had common schooling and a commercial course. His father, who had studied some mathematics privately, tutored George in the subject. George wanted to learn Latin and Greek so that he could advance in society. He was given some basic tutoring from the local bookseller, a friend of his father. George managed to learn Latin by ...
