Chennai: Declaring 2012 as the 'National Mathematical year' as a tribute to maths wizard Srinivasa Ramanujan, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday voiced concern over the "badly inadequate" number of competent mathematicians in the country.

He also said that the perception that pursuit of mathematics does not lead to attractive career possibilities "must change."

"It is a matter of concern that for a country of our size, the number of competent mathematicians that we have is badly inadequate", he said at a function to here mark the 125th birth anniversary of Ramanujan.

Singh also declared December 22, the birthday of Ramanujan, as 'National Mathematics Day.'

Students have not pursued mathematics at advanced levels over more than three decades, which has resulted in a decline in quality of mathematics teachers at schools and colleges, Singh who is on a two-day visit to the state, told a galaxy of academics at Madras University.

"There is a general perception in our society that the pursuit of mathematics does not lead to attractive career possibilities. This perception must change. This perception may have been valid some years ago, but today there are many new career opportunities available to mathematics and the teaching perception itself has become much more attractive in recent years", Singh said.

The Prime Minister said the mathematical community has a duty to find out "ways and means" to address the shortage of top quality mathematicians and reach out to the public, especially in the modern context, where mathematics has tremendous influence on every kind of human endeavour.

Noting that the Central government has pursued a policy of encouraging scientific activities of diverse kinds, the Prime Minister said, "Given our traditions, we naturally attach special importance to mathematics...in many ways, mathematics can be regarded as the mother science".

He said Ramanujan overcame formidable difficulties to reach the pinnacle of greatness, illustrating the inadequacy of University evaluation system in the early decades of the last century, while at the same time showing the system displayed enough flexibility to take care of mavericks like him.

"There have been many reforms since those days but there would still be talent which would elude proper evaluation. Our institutions of higher learning must be sensitive to this problem."

"A genius like Ramanujan would shine bright even in the most adverse of circumstances, but we should be geared to encourage and nurture good talent which may not be of the same calibre as that of Ramanujan", Singh said.

Honouring Professor Robert Kanigel, who has written a biography of Ramanujan, Singh said this book has made Ramanujan well known to the public at large all over the world.

He said the country was proud of Ramanujan and Tamil Nadu has a special claim on him for he was a Tamilian.

"Along with CV Raman and Subramanyam Chandrashekhar (both Nobel laureates), he is among the three great men of science and mathematics that Tamil Nadu and India have given to the world of modern times", he said.

SALARY THEOREM

MATHEMATICS-LANGUAGE OF THE UNIVERSE

Do you know which langauge shared by all human beings regardless of the culture, religion, or gender?
It is Mathematics , the only language shared by all human beings and language of symbols.
Pi is still 3.14159, regardless of what country you are in . Adding up the cost of a basket full of groceries involves the same math process regardless of whether the total is expressed in dollars, yen or rupees. With this universal language, all of us, no matter what our unit of exchange, are likely to arrive at math results the same way.
All of us possess the ability to be " literate" in the shared language of math. The math literacy is called numeracy, and it is this shared language of numbers that connects us with people across continents and through time. It is what links ancient scholars and medieval merchants, astronauts and artists peasants and presidents
With this language we can explain
the mysteries of the universe or secrets of DNA.
We can understand the forces of planetary motion
Discover cures for catastrophic diseases
calculate the distance from any city of America to any city of India
We can build computers and transfer information across the globe.
We can save money for retirement
So math is not just for calculus majors. It is for all of us.
It is not just calculating difficult equations. It is about making better decisions and , hopefully leading richer, fuller lives.
Mathematics is Universal by the following quotes

"I bow to that glorious Lord of the Jainas, who as the shining lamp of the know-ledge of numbers made to shine whole of the universe", said Mahaviracharya in Ganita Sara Sangraha.

The laws of nature are but the mathematical thoughts of God. ~Euclid

I like mathematics because it is not human and has nothing particular to do with this planet or with the whole accidental universe - because like Spinoza's God, it won't love us in return. ~Bertrand Russell, 1912

The man ignorant of mathematics will be increasingly limited in his grasp of the main forces of civilization. ~John Kemeny

Mathematics is the gateway and the key to other sciences- Roger Bacon

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATHS

Hi Everybody,

Have a sweet morning.. or .afternoon.. or .evening !!!





YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATHS


Don't tell me your age , the Hershey Man will know!

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATHS This is pretty neat.

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute .
Work this out as you read .

Don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!

1. Pick the number of times a week you'd like to have chocolate
(more than once but less than 10)


2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)

3.. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator
(or use the one listed under 'accessories' on your computer)

5. If you already had your birthday this year add 1759 ...
If you haven't, add 1758.

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born


You should have a three digit number

The first digit of this was your original number
(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week)

The next two numbers are


YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!)


2009 IS THE ONLY YEAR IT WILL WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

MATH FUN

Let me take only a minute

Just do the following multiplication :

13837 x Your Age x 73 = ? ? ?

You get very interesting resut, let me know.


You get the same result if you multiply 10001 * your age * 101

How is that?

FIND OUT MISTAKE

Find out the mistake in this :

Division by Zero

Everyone knows that0/2=0 , the problem is that far too many people also say that

or 2 = 2 ! Remember that division by zero is undefined! You simply cannot divide by

0

zero so don’t do it!

Here is a very good example of the kinds of havoc that can arise when you divide by zero. See if you can find the mistake that I made in the work below.

1. a = b We’ll start assuming this to be true.

2. ab = a ^2 Multiply both sides by a.

3. ab - b^2 = a^ 2 - b^2 Subtract b^2 from both sides.

4. b ( a - b) = ( a + b ) ( a - b )Factor both sides.

5. b = a + b Divide both sides by a - b .

6. b = 2b Recall we started off assuming a = b .

7. 1 = 2 Divide both sides by b.

So, we’ve managed to prove that 1 = 2! Now, we know that’s not true so clearly we

made a mistake somewhere. Can you see where the mistake was made?

The mistake was in step 5. Recall that we started out with the assumption a = b .

However, if this is true then we have a - b = 0 ! So, in step 5 we are really dividing by zero!

That simple mistake led us to something that we knew wasn’t true, however, in most

cases your answer will not obviously be wrong. It will not always be clear that you are dividing by zero, as was the case in this example. You need to be on the lookout for this kind of thing.

Remember that you CAN’T divide by zero!
