4.3 ANURUPYENA (Ekadhikina Purvena) COROLLARY: Anurupyena (means Proportion) Meaning: By one more than the previous one Anurupyena Sutra is a specific method of division in Vedic Mathematics which shows how to divide numbers when Nikhilam and Paravartya are not applicable. Specific Condition Required: _ As we know the meaning of Anurupyena (as proportion/ratio), we multiply/divide by factor to make divisor closer to larger number (To apply Nikhilam) OR to make closer to smaller number (To apply…

possible to predict what is going to happen using mathematics and after that certain point there are too many variables to be able to realistically know what the behaviour of the oscillations will be. Under the same conditions with the same equipment but two different times the double pendulum will not produce the same chaotic pattern. This then causes an issue when trying to represent the motion mathematically if there is no visible pattern, because mathematics looks at quantifying…

Sir Isaac Newton was born on December 25th, 1642. As Newton grew up he was recognized as a very knowledgeable physicist, mathematician, author and astronomer. He excelled in both math and physics and has been developing theories since his early twenties. Isaac Newton attended a grammar school in Grantham near Lincolnshire, where as during this time Newton became very interested with chemicals. In 1664 Newton at that time was a student, he read up on work containing optics and light. He was…

Astronomy and Astrology: A Battle of Two Ancestral Brothers Astronomy, being an actual natural science, and not just predictions and magic, is a much more useful practice than its ancestral brother, astrology. Though, long ago, astronomy and astrology were once thought to be the one and the same, in the modern era, these two "sciences" are different in both the way they are practiced, and the tools with which you practice them. Astronomy, considered to be the more "real", respected science out…

The book, structure of Scientific Revolutions, is one of the most famous books authored by Thomas Kuhn. He introduces a wide array of concepts within the essay that explains the course of scientific revolution in the world. However, the essay has received wide criticisms from other scholars especially for what they refer to as his ‘relativistic’ nature. To understand or take a position as to whether the arguments of his charges of relativism are valid, an understanding of the term is necessary,…

The Counterfeit Coins Problem is a well-known complex search problem in mathematics as well as in computer science. It can be related to the data structure (such as binary tree) computer program, algorithm, Graph Theory, Therefore researching this problem is meaningful. The Counterfeit Coins problem can be described as given a set of n look-alike Coins containing One Counterfeit which is a bit heavier or lighter than the genuine Coins. The objective is to find the Counterfeit Coins in minimum…

The famous alchemist, Democritus, had several views on life and how it worked and was made. “Everything existing in the universe is the fruit of chance and necessity.” (“Democritus Quotes”). Nothing in this world is planned out and if anything is necessary to happen it will happen. According to John J. Mark, Democritus made it seem like life happens on its own and takes all the human’s decisions for their own life, yet he actually believed humans could make their own decisions within the range…

Johnny Martinez Period 7th Pythagorean Theorem The Pythagorean Theorem also known as Pythagoras’s theorem is a relation in Euclidean geometry that are the tree sides of a right triangle. It’s the sum of the areas of the two squares on the legs equals the area of the square on the hypotenuse. The equation use for it is A squared plus B squared equals C squared.The Theorem relates the lengths of the three sides of any…

In this big gigantic world of ours, math is everywhere. It surrounds us. Whether you like it or not, math actually makes our world very functional place. Without it, it would probably be very chaotic. It helps us when we’re dealing with money, school, and work and just about anything that you can think of. But who came up with this “math” thing? Lots of people helped contribute to the discovery of it. It wasn’t just one person. Like Isaac Newton, a very influential scientist, and indeed…

characters, Christopher possesses a passion for mathematics. Many examples demonstrate Christopher’s ability to make calculations at a fast rate include: saying the square of a number and continue to square the corresponding number up to a really high number , knowing every prime number up to 7507, and receiving an A in a A level math exam (one of the higher level math exams an individual can take). A specific moment in the text in which his mathematics ability was displayed was how he was able…
