Thinking Mathematically

  In a meeting, when the spreadsheet gets glitchy, the tetchy boss throws  an issue  to all or any . "Our profit might be  26% of 3400000. what proportion  is it? Rax?" Rax cannot call the manager at this point , because she  is that the  manager. And, she left her phone on the desk. She doesn't have access to a calculator. While she blankly stares into her impending future, Chandler intervenes  to save lots of  the sport . "It's 884000, Monika. Could I BE any longer  correct?" Monika, boss lady, didn't look impressed. Not because Chandler was wrong - he was right and oh so quick! - but because she got irritated together with his  cocky attitude. The question here is, how could he find  the solution  so quickly? Algebra was his saviour: (x+a)(x-a) = x²-a². Observe, that x  is that the  average of (x+a) and (x-a). This method works smoothly for numbers with even differences. The average of 26 and 34 is 30. So, 26×...

what is topology? Lets us know TOPOLGY with a POEM.

Topology is a Mystery Math; the strangest you will find for it’s a very difficult thing that will defy your mind. It’s the bafflement of Hilda’s, the Invariants’ despair For when we try and do some maths -Topology’s in there! Topology, topology, there’s nothing like Topology, It even affects those students of Maths and Philosophy. Its powers of confusion would make a tutor stare for when you try and do some maths -Topology’s in there! You may hide within the library, you may look up in the air, But I tell you once and once again- there’s Topology in there! Topology’s impossible, you can never win, You would know it if you saw it, for it does your head right in. Your brow is deeply lined with thought, you know not what it’s about “How the Hell do I do this?” you want to scream and shout, It’s getting pretty frustrating now, you don’t know how much more you can take, And when you want to go to sleep, it’ll keep you wide awake. Topology, Topology, there’s nothing like Topology for it’s a ...
