Of rainbows and sunshine

Of rainbows and sunshine

There are times in life when you come across incidents which touch the deepest parts of your soul and make you a different person. One such incident happened to me on the 31st of December 2017. This was the time when I was in the final semester of my graduation.

Everyone in the hostel was in a party mood that night. It was the last day of the year and there was no reason not to celebrate that night. We were a bunch of crazy hostelers and there was no limit to the fun we were having.

While it was close to midnight and the world was ready to welcome the new year, there was a loud noise coming from the street. The noise seemed like the collision of vehicles. Just out of curiosity, we went out into the street to find out what was going on.

On reaching the spot where the commotion was happening, we saw a car turned upside down. There was a girl inside the car strapped to the seat belt. A few meters ahead, there were two teenagers lying beside a bike. People were trying to help them while they were crying in pain. The girl in the car was quiet. I couldn’t see her face.

Someone from the crowd came forward and tried to help her. It was then that I saw her face. It was Shreya. Shreya Jaiswal, my school time crush. She was one of the most beautiful girls I had seen. Seeing her in this condition was not easy. I moved ahead and offered to help.

Minutes later, I was inside the ambulance with her. I was there with her in the hospital. It was new year already. I had never had a new year event like that. I held her hand and kept looking at her face. She had the same baby face which made me fall in love with her in my school days. Only this time there were cuts on it.

Pieces of glass from the car dashboard had gotten into her face. I had the fear that her eyes got hurt. My fears came true when the doctors gave their reports after the initial first aid and examination. She had lost her eyesight.

I was in utter shock to know this. I couldn’t even think of the pain she would go through when she gets to realize that she has lost her vision. This was one of the most heartbreaking moments of my life.

Days passed on. Her parents came and took her home. They thanked me for the help. I asked them if I could come to visit her sometimes. They said I could do that if she wanted to. I gave them my number and asked them to call me if there was something I could help them with.

A month later, I got a call from an unknown number. It was Shreya. She wanted to thank me personally. I went there and she was glad to know who I actually was.

After that, I started visiting her whenever I could. I would read books to her and share jokes to make her laugh. I even tried to convince her to learn braille. She listened to me and started taking classes. I helped her read internet articles by using a free online braille translator. This was how I was trying to be helpful to her.

Through these meetings, I started realizing that Shreya was not just beautiful from the outside, she was beautiful from the inside too. There was soon a time when we couldn’t remain far from each other. I was falling in love with her once again.

I didn’t know what she felt for me then but she did say something that really touched my heart and made me hopeful. She said that I was the sunshine in her life. I just smiled and held her hand that day.

My life before her was not bad, but there was something that was missing. She was the missing piece from my life. She made me feel complete.

Between that day and this day, many things have happened. My life has changed in a good way. She has become a beautiful part of my life now. She has come like a rainbow into my life and made my life beautiful and I intend to be the sunshine of her life forever.

Top 5 Web Sources For Maths Lovers

Basics To Improve Advanced Maths

We have been constantly observing a massive drop out rates in the colleges, especially in subjects that are tough and need more logics such as Mathematics and Physics. Subjects which are surcharged with logic and need Higher Order Thinking Skills often becomes the reason behind the intensifying dropout rates.

The transformation of physics into Quantum physics and of Math into advanced maths make the students perspire throughout the session. Math is considered to be the backbone of scientific subjects in which the numerical values decides the units.

Many students drop maths as a subject by the time they pass out of high schools because of its increase in the level of difficulty after a certain standard. The higher you go, the harder it gets. Advanced maths has always been a concern for students who opt for it as a major subject.

Educationalists and researchers are trying to evolve new methods and techniques to make maths and the related subjects fun for the assimilation to the students.

By becoming a bit liberal in terms of setting questions and use of calculators, they have successfully managed to decrease the dropout rates of mathematics student in the colleges and universities.

Besides this, researches are coming with techniques that mix education and technology to help the student in improving mathematical skills.

Nowadays, it is easier to study from freely available video lectures, lecture notes and textbooks. You can learn better from watching videos and making notes, based on your understanding and their teachings.

We can now study and learn mathematics online in an easy and understandable way. Many websites and the likes have been created to serve the same purpose of helping the students out and decrease the dropping out.

Here I share a few tips on how to improve maths without taking it as a nightmare.

Do all of the homework.

Taking homework as a choice will help you in improving and working on the areas you lag in. It’s indeed a way that students practice and master the concepts taught in class. Stay consistent and never miss doing your homework by making it a habit.

Your relationship with the teachers works too.

High school teachers have up to 60 students in a batch. It’s important to be recognised by the teacher. So, introduce yourself. Your teacher should know you as an interested student. Asking questions will go a long way in clearing your doubts pertaining to the topics. So never hesitate to ask questions.

Mastering basics will increase your grasping capacity.

What’s 8 times 9? To be successful, you need to be quick and sharp in the basics. Polishing your basics that undoubtedly include the multiplication tables, square and cube roots, calculations and so on. Practice deliberately if you find nailing it down.

Analysing and understanding the concepts will surely help

We live in a society where we need perfection in every aspect and we cannot afford to ignore our mistakes as students who desperately want to improve. Studying deeply with high order thinking skill will help us clear our concepts of the subjects. Analyse logically in order to get the most out of the sessions.

Surfing may help

We can use the internet to polish our knowledge by looking for websites and applications that are completely dedicated to the cause.

Instead of wasting time on social media, we can bring this wonderful invention of science to our benefits.

Truth Table: Folds Difficulties

Truth Table: Folds Difficulties

It took years to create to develop methods and platforms to ease the way of doing things. Being the only animal that is more diverse and versatile with a brain capable of thinking critically and more precisely, it becomes our onus to serve the world to the best of our capabilities.

We serve the society as students, researchers, teachers, businessman, doctors, engineers, chefs and so on. Each of us owes something to the world in various forms. We have created plenty of operation instruments and similar platforms to give back to society as a tribute for everything that it has been doing for us.

Today I would be tracking down the similar creation that fetched a sigh of relief to the faces of the industrious students and dedicated professionals. I would indeed be jotting down about the truth table that eased our way of performing complex mathematical operations.

What is truth table?

It is a table that shows the truth values for an expression. It is a mathematical table used in logic to perform complex logical expressions, specifically in connection with Boolean algebra, boolean functions and propositional calculus in a nutshell. It is a table representing the output values of a logical expression based on their inputs.

It used to be a tough and grueling task but the advent of platforms like truth table generator and truth table maker have dragged its complexities and stiffness to the ground. It is now easy to perform and make such logical operation in several different formats.

Should we peep back into the history?

Ludwig Wittgensteina philosopher is considered to have invented the truth table in his meticulously written thesis Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus which was subjected to various intricate alligations for its being an imitation of another thesis with few reforms and creativity that appeared at least a year earlier in a paper on propositional logic by Emil Leon Post.

Apart from these controversies, Irving Anellis has done the research in 1983 to show that C. S. Peirce appears to be the earliest logician to devise a truth table matrix through his deliberate and precise summary of his paper.

Let’s discuss the application of it

Truth table makers and generators extensively make and generate many other logical equivalences respectively and the condensed truth tables are used for binary operations.

Apart from its usages in carrying out mathematical logical operations in boolean algebra and boolean functions, it is used in digital logics too.

It is often used by business analysts to describe complicated algorithms and to show if an account could be eligible for certain treatments.

The developers used to use this table to program the software development in digital electronics  and the testers used it to build test cases with this same truth tables.

Books that polish your knowledge base…

“Religiously reading three books on any niche is considered enough to be the master the matter.”

The Oxford handbook of mathematics and logics tops the list followed by Think about mathematicsthe philosophy of mathematics LOGIC; a very short introduction and The principle of mathematics by Bertrand Russell(1903).

Graphing calculator: boon?

Graphing calculator: boon?

The advancement in technology on one side is arming us for a better life and on the other hand, is making us deprived of our own assets. We are constantly being exposed to varieties of inventions which are said to be created in our favour but do we really know how and to what extent it hurts us? The world has seen immense changes in the name of inventions, discoveries, innovations and experiments.

Concerns that may count

Today I would jot down the arousing concerns pertaining to the use or exploitation of calculator in various forms like online graphing calculator and others which ultimately has an impact on our lives with disciplined deliberation and introspection.

Studying our own history will enable us to track down every aspect of our lives that started millions of years ago and how it kept reforming in ways that teach and prepare us for things ahead of us as a bane or blessing.

People have discovered and invented plenty of things that serve us in varieties of way which have both good and bad effects. A calculator is also one of the main inventions of the history which too has seen reformation in itself and is still being subjected to changes from time to time. With the advent and rise of the internet, calculators also got morphed in many ways. Online graphing calculator is the result of prolonged experiments which crafted it in a deliberate way, making it more advanced and sophisticated.

What are Graphing calculators?

Graphing calculators are handheld computers that perfectly plot graphs, solve simultaneous equations and performs tasks with variables. These calculators can be programmed according to our desire and usages to perform multiple tasks at the same time. These calculators are results of hit and trial methods regularly performed by the developers.

Do we have any history of it?

If we track down the history of graphing calculators, we will get know how these came to existence. The first graphing calculator was designed and patented by an electrical engineer named Edith Clarke in the year 1925. Casio was the company to produce the first commercially available graphing calculator named FX -7000G in 1985Casio and Texas instruments are the companies that have been producing graphical calculators.

Many online calculators have also made their ways into our lives with the rise in the internet which revolutionized the process and made it accessible to a vast majority of the population. It can be downloaded on phones in the form of an application.

Usages

Graphing calculators are being used in institutions and laboratories to perform scientific calculation and to plot graphs. Countries like North America, Finland, Norway, India, Turkey and Netherland have been using these for educational purposes.

Critics will criticise

This invention which is still improving could also not avoid the critics. The critics believe that uninhibited use of graphic calculator will hurt the students’ ability in basic maths and standard algorithm.

This is either a boon or bane that may prove to be of immense use but it does have an adverse effect on the students in their budding stage. We can only hope for the best with our fingers crossed in anticipation.
