Why MATHEMATICS....the QUEEN of all sciences??

MATHEMATICS according to me is an amazing subject. Yes, its the QUEEN of all SCIENCES I believe....!! If you want to know the why so of it...keep moving your eyes down.....


The World cannot move an inch without MATHEMATICS. Every businessmen, accountant, engineer, mechanic, farmer, scientist, shopkeeper and even street hawker requires the knowledge of mathematics.Besides man animals and insects also use it in their day to day existence.


"Snails make shells with curious mathematical precision. Spiders produce intricacies of engineering, honey bees construct combs of greatest strength consistent with the least possible amount of wax. There are countless mathematical patterns in the nature's fabric.Fruits of teasle and sunflower and the scales ofcones are not made haphazardly. A close examination would convince us that in corn and elm each leaf is halfway around the stem from the leaves immediately above and below it. If one could trace the point of attachment upwards with the aid thread freshly coated with mucilage, it would be found that they lie on a spiral. In plants like beech and sedge, each is attached one third of the way around the stem from leaves immediately above or below it. Another kind of spiral is found in twigs of the oak, the apple and many other plants.The leaves are two-fifths of the circumference apart and the curve , make two revolutions and goes through five attachments in passing from any leaf to the one directly over it. This would be the fraction 2/5."
Great observation by the Human Computer ....Hats off to her!!
Now, start your chase for the King !! :-))

Amazing PASCAL's TRIANGLE

What we all know is....
Pascal's Triangle, developed by the French Mathematician Blaise Pascal, is formed by starting with an apex of 1.Every number below in the triangle is the sum of the two numbers diagonally above it to the left and the right, with positions outside the triangle counting as zero.


Now, check out if you know this......
The Fibonacci Series in Pascal's Triangle !!! (look into figure below if you want to know how).

Well, not only that, it has many unusual properties and a variety of uses like:
• Horizontal rows add to powers of 2 (i.e., 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc.)
• The horizontal rows represent powers of 11 (1, 11, 121, 1331, etc.)
• Adding any two successive numbers in the diagonal 1-3-6-10-15-21-28...
   results in a perfect square (1, 4, 9, 16, etc.)
• It can be used to find combinations in probability problems (if, for instance, you pick any  
  two of five items,  the number of possible combinations is 10, found by looking in the
  second place of the fifth row. Do not count the 1's.)
• When the first number to the right of the 1 in any row is a prime number, all numbers in
   that row are  divisible by that prime number.

Amazing right!?? That's why I say," MATHEMATICS is the QUEEN OF ALL SCIENCES" !!! :-)
