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 […]
As the name indicated it comes from its resemblance to a certain mythical creature. Dragon curves are non intersecting recursive curves. It is a member of fractal curves. Its shape is commonly generated from repeatedly folding a strip of paper in half. To construct the curve, represent the left turn with 1 and the right […]
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 […]
