Probability and statistics are key concepts in the subject of mathematics. While probability is all about chance, statistics involves handling data using different techniques. With the help of ‘statistics’ we can represent complicated data in an easy and understandable way. It is an important component of data science professions. Professionals utilize statistics in their business […]
Euclid’s Elements of Geometry The study of geometrical figures and shapes which is based on various theorems and axioms is called Euclidean geometry. The type of geometry mainly applies for flat surfaces. It helps in explaining the shapes of geometrical figures better, particularly the plane figures. Greek mathematician Euclid had described ‘Euclidean geometry’ in his […]
In our day-to-day lives we will have to depict/represent certain objects with a quantity. The number system can be defined as the system which uses particular words or symbols for quantifying a given object or value. For example, teachers would grade/assign a particular numerical value to the examination paper depending upon the student’s performance giving […]
India has a very rich culture in the world of Mathematics. India has provided many crucial inventions to the field of Mathematics and some of them were really eye-catching. One such invention was the concept of zero which really revolutionized the world of Mathematics. Yes, India was and is rich with quality mathematicians and in […]
Calculus or ‘infinitesimal calculus’ is a mathematical discipline which focuses on limits, continuity, derivatives, integrals and infinite series. The origin of Calculus can be traced back to ancient Greece, China, medieval Europe and India. In the late 17th century, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz developed their own independent versions of ‘Infinitesimal Calculus’. The great […]
Srinivasa Ramanujan, the man who knew infinity, was one of India’s greatest mathematicians. Early life Ramanujan was born on 22 December 1887 in Erode, a village 400 km southwest of Madras. He made significant contributions to the analytical theory of numbers and also worked extensively on elliptic functions and infinite series. Ramanujan’s father worked as […]
Vedic Maths or Vedic Mathematics is a collection of Methods or Sutras to solve numerical computations quickly and faster. It consists of 16 Sutras called Formulae and 13 sub-sutras called Sub Formulae, which can be applied to solve problems in calculus, geometry, conics, arithmetic, algebra, etc. All the sutras and sub sutras of Vedic maths […]
Borromean rings are three simple closed curves in three-dimensional space .These rings are topologically linked and they cannot be separated from each other. But when any one of the three rings break or is removed ,we get two unlinked and unknotted loops. These rings can be drawn as three circles on a plane. It looks […]
A Möbius strip ( Möbius band ) or Möbius loop is a surface that is formed by connecting the ends of a strip of paper together with a half-twist. This shape was discovered by August Ferdinand Möbiusin and Johann Benedict Listing the year 1858. The discovery of the Möbius strip leads to formation of the […]
