The Calendar We Use The international calendar we use is called Gregorian Calendar, said to be created by Pope Gregory XIII. Gregorian calendar was introduced in 80s of 16th century, to be…

## Equations- A Basic Introduction

Applied mathematics is one which is used in day-to-day life, in solving troubles (problems) or in business purposes. Let me write an example: George had some money. He gave 14 Dollars to Matthew. Now he has 27 dollars. How much money had he? If you are familiar with day-to-day calculations – you must say that…

## Numbers – The Basic Introduction

If mathematics was a language, logic was the grammar, numbers should have been the alphabet. There are many types of numbers we use in mathematics, but at a broader aspect we may categorize them in two categories: 1. Countable Numbers 2. Uncountable Numbers The numbers which can be counted in nature are called Countable Numbers…

## Mathematical Logic – The basic introduction

What is Logic? If mathematics is regarded as a language, then logic is its grammar. In other words, logical precision has the same importance in mathematics as grammatical accuracy in a language. As linguistic grammar has sentences, statements— logic has them too. After we discuss about Sentence & Statements, we will proceed to further logical…

Fermat Numbers, a class of numbers, are the integers of the form $F_n=2^{2^n} +1 \ \ n \ge 0$ . For example: Putting $n := 0,1,2 \ldots$ in $F_n=2^{2^n}$ we get $F_0=3$ , $F_1=5$ , $F_2=17$ , $F_3=257$ etc. Fermat observed that all the integers $F_0, F_1,… ## 381654729 : An Interesting Number Happened To Me Today You might be thinking why am I writing about an individual number? Actually, in previous year annual exams, my registration number was 381654729. Which is just an ‘ordinary’ 9-digit long number. I never cared about it- and forgot it after exam results were announced. But today morning, when I opened “Mathematics Today” magazine’s October 2010,… ## Do you multiply this way! Before my college days I used to multiply this way. But as time passed, I learned new things. In a Hindi magazine named “Bhaskar Lakshya”, I read an article in which a columnist ( I can’t remember his name) suggested how to multiply in single line (row). That was a magic to me. I found doing multiplications… ## Just another way to Multiply Multiplication is probably the most important elementary operation in mathematics; even more important than usual addition. Every math-guy has its own style of multiplying numbers. But have you ever tried multiplicating by this way? Exercise:$ 88 \times 45$=? Ans: as usual :- 3960 but I got this using a particular way: 88 … ## A Problem On Several Triangles A triangle$ T $is divided into smaller triangles such that any two of the smaller triangles either have no point in common, or have a vertex in common, or actually have an edge in common. Thus no two smaller triangles touch along part of an edge of them. For an illustration let me… ## Two Interesting Math Problems Problem1: Smallest Autobiographical Number: A number with ten digits or less is called autobiographical if its first digit (from the left) indicates the number of zeros it contains,the second digit the number of ones, third digit number of twos and so on. For example: 42101000 is autobiographical. Find, with explanation, the smallest autobiographical number. Solution… ## Fox-Rabbit Chase Problem [Solution & Math Proof] Part I: A fox chases a rabbit. Both run at the same speed$ v$. At all times, the fox runs directly toward the instantaneous position of the rabbit , and the rabbit runs at an angle$ \alpha \$ relative to the direction directly away from the fox. The initial separation between the…
