HIPPASUS : AN UNFORTUNATE MATHEMATICIAN

This is my first blog on mathematics. Mathematics is essentially the 'science' of numbers. Mathematics is the house of numbers. I personally feel that all these numbers have their own expressions, they are living entities, they are constantly used in our daily commute .   ''Mathematics is the Queen of all Sciences and Arithmetic is the Queen of Mathematics'' -Carl Friedrich Gauss With the help of set theory, if the consider the universal set (U) as 'number' denoted for simplicity as N, i.e. U= N, then I can denote the elements in N in the form of a set as given below . N={0,1,⅔,5i, √2, - 3} Here inside the set we find different types of numbers. So for better understanding the numbers are classified into many groups. Now I will introduce the different types of numbers and give an example for each by taking a number from within the set N , Natural numbers- eg. 1 Whole numbers- eg. 0 and 1 Integers- eg. 0,1 and -3 Rational numbers- 0,1, ⅔, -3 Irrational nu

EVOLUTION OF PHYSICS - MEDIEVAL INTERPRETATIONS

I n the last blog we learnt some early descriptions of nature and how they were widely accepted by the people. But in the course of history, there has been certain moments which is worth mentioning here, say for example the discovery that there was force called gravity which pulls everything down and also restricts everything from going up! , the famous Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein which changed forever our understanding of science. The Theory of Relativity is a new theoretical concept on which I am currently doing my research. So we will talk about it later. In this blog let us consider the contributions made by greats like Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei and Sir Isaac Newton.  I am trying my level best not to include the mathematical element in my blogs, since it would make many (I guess) sleepy and uninterested.

EVOLUTION OF PHYSICS - ANCIENT INTERPRETATIONS

P hysics is one of the most beautiful gifts of nature as it is 'natural' in all sense of the word. We can conceive most of the ideas in Physics just by carefully observing the nature around us.  It is one of the three principal branches of science, the other two being Biology and Chemistry. Physics helps us to understand the world around us pictorially, geometrically and theoretically. Today I am going to present to you all, the 'evolution of Physics' and how different scientists contributed to its success. We will be covering the ancient, medieval and modern notions of physics in three different blogs. Today I am going to introduce the 'ancient notions of physics.' So let's get started!!! ANCIENT NOTIONS OF PHYSICS Any idea or concept in Physics is just illogical until it is expressed mathematically. This is clear from Leonardo da Vinci's famous quote,           ''No human investigations can be called real science if it cannot be demonstrated ma

SIR ISAAC NEWTON - A TRUE GENIUS

From today onwards I would like to introduce you all to scientists whose contributions are worth mentioning. So to start with we have Sir Isaac Newton hear with us... Sree: Hello Newton! Good to see you... Newton : Mmm...yes I know I know... Sree: Sir I have just started a new blog on science. I am starting my first blog...by introducing you to my viewers. Newton: What??? Everyone knows me...😏, there isn't a need for any special introduction. Any student who has chosen or studied science surely knows me and my theories...Anyway good luck to you...And since you started with me you will surely have a bright futureπŸ‘πŸ‘ And...πŸ’₯...Newton just vanished in thin air...Hmmm...might have gone to his study to develop some new ideas on calculus and gravity...πŸ˜‡ Newton has bid us farewell however his life and ideas still remain ''a textbook for science students''. I am a student who is deeply influenced by Newton and he still remains one of my idols in science. So let us was
