The most beautiful equation in mathematics is: It is often attributed to Swiss Mathematician Leonhard Euler. Interestingly enough, this is nothing but a statement about rotation! 23 is a shorthand way of writing 2 × 2 × 2. But this is very very different from what means. Mathematicians use this trick over and over again. They overload notations. In fact is a […]
We have indicated the source of these problems. Do not look up solutions. It is fun to try it yourself or see others try them live! Let P be an interior point of triangle ABC and AP, BP, CP meet the sides BC, CA, AB in D, E, F respectively. Show that \( \frac{AP}{PD}=\frac{AF}{FB}+\frac{AE}{EC} \) […]
Sine of an angle, half chord and vertical projection Note that half chord corresponding to a half arc is same as the magnitude of vertical projection.
Watch the solution of an interesting problem on Triangles on a sphere and learn how to solve it. You may try the problem yourself and then watch the video. PROBLEM Suppose the earth is a perfect sphere. You are on its surface at point A. First, you walk 1 mile south, then 1 mile east […]

Here we are exploring UCLA Full Scholarship Program - MUMS. University of California, Los Angles is one of the leading universities in the world. Its mathematics department is held in […]
The central theme of the thousand flowers program is: connected ideas and connected problems. We will illustrate the idea using some examples. But before we do so, let's point out the theoretical motivation behind such a program. It is greatly borrowed from the pedagogical experiments of Rabindranath Thakur. (Reference: https://bn.m.wikisource.org/wiki/বিশ্বভারতী). One of his major criticisms of […]
