Infinitely many answers questions are possible to the answer, “No”. So, our real task should be to find one of THOSE many, which seems to be a perfect one.

A simple and the first ever logical approach of giving answers to a question is to derive answers from the question, that is, replace some words of the question with reasonable ones and make a statement. (Conversely but ) Similarly, we can try to derive the questions from the given answer.

So, if the answer is “No”.

Since, ‘No’ is the answer… we can ask if this was a question. And since ‘No’ is not a question (as it is an answer), the answer will be obviously, ‘No’…the given one.

Therefore, the very first deduced question may be,

Is this a question?

Agree?

What other questions could you make from above answer which were completely logical? What would be the question, if the answer was ‘Yes’?

## The Collatz Conjecture : Unsolved but Useless

The Collatz Conjecture is one of the Unsolved problems in mathematics, especially in Number Theory. The Collatz Conjecture is also termed as 3n+1 conjecture, Ulam Conjecture, Kakutani’s Problem, Thwaites Conjecture, Hasse’s Algorithm, Syracuse Problem. Statement: Start with any positive integer. • Halve it, if it is even. Or • triple it and add 1, if it is odd. If you…

## Real Sequences

Sequence of real numbers A sequence of real numbers (or a real sequence) is defined as a function $f: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{R}$ , where $\mathbb{N}$ is the set of natural numbers and $\mathbb{R}$ is the set of real numbers. Thus, $f(n)=r_n, \ n \in \mathbb{N}, \ r_n \in \mathbb{R}$ is a function which produces a sequence…

## Newton’s Trinity College Notebook is Online!

Cambridge Digital Library had made Newton’s exceptionally great works online. Some times ago they added the Trinity College Notebook by Isaac Newton, which he used to teach in the college in 17th century.     Read More About the Project Here. List of other works of Newton can be found at www.newton.ac.uk/newton.html.

## Essential Steps of Problem Solving in Mathematical Sciences

Learning how to solve problems in mathematics is simply to know what to look for.   Mathematics problems often require established procedures. To become a problem solver, one must know What, When and How to apply them. To identify procedures, you have to be familiar with the different problem situations. You must also be good in gathering information, extracting strategies…

## 8 big online communities a math major should join

Online communities are the groups of web savvy individuals who share communal interests. A community can be developed with just a single topic or by a bunch of philosophies. A better community binds its members through substantial debates. Mathematics is a very popular communal interest and there are hundreds of online communities formed in both Q&A and debate styles. Some…

## What is Real Analysis?

Real analysis is the branch of Mathematics in which we study the development on the set of real numbers. We reach on real numbers through a series of successive extensions and generalizations starting from the natural numbers. In fact, starting from the set of natural numbers we pass on successively to the set of integers, the set of rational numbers…
