Logarithmic Harmony in Natural Chaos
Mathematics is one powerful tool to make sense out of randomness but bear in mind that not every randomness could be handled effectively with the mathematical tools we have at our disposal today. One of such tools called Benford’s Law proves that nature works in logarithmic growth and not in linear growth. The Benford’s law helps us to make sense of the natural randomness generated around us all the time. This is also one of…

Sophie Germain- The Lady of Mathematics
Internet has literally exploded the branches of knowledge and made it accessible to any class, caste, creed, race, gender. We already owe to such technological revolutions for making knowledge truly accessible to everyone who desires to gain it. We all know the accessibility of knowledge was not open to such extents before. History has examples where certain class/group of people were restricted from not studying certain or all fields of knowledge. Starting from the early…

Mandelbrot Set- The bottomless wonders of fractal geometry
To understand the Universe, you must understand the language in which it’s written, the language of Mathematics – Galileo Galilei In our school days whenever a math problem would start creating “the problem” in our minds making us scratch our head, there was this common expression showing the worthlessness of learning all this math if we cannot implement it in real life. One would say – “Where do I use these sines, cosines, tangents while…

Understanding the true nature of Mathematics- Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem
Either mathematics is too big for the human mind or the human mind is more than a machine -Kurt Gödel I remember the times in the school when we were introduced to the proofs of geometric theorems. There was this systematic template that you had to follow to secure full marks for the question. You would write the “Statement of the theorem”. Establish a geometry, define its components called “Drawing”. Then you would write “To…
