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...
