ha !!! ๐Ÿค›๐Ÿ‘Š

The first hour was by Giby ma'am. During the class we discussed about maladjustment and how our mind always finds ways to channelise its worries. Ma'am introduced us to the 'Umm Umm Therapy'. It is a method in which the therapist or the listener prompts the speaker to vent out his feeling by saying 'umm?'. Any person who is a good listener can be a 'umm' therapist.

After that we had our Induction Analysis followed by the oath taking ceremony for the newly elected union members.


After lunch, the women's cell club organized the a self defense class as a part of women's day celebration. The class was taken by Jaya Mary, Anees Bhal and Athulya from the Kerala police. During the talk Anees ma'am stressed on the fact that  women must always react and never remain silent when a man mistreats her. They demonstrated few warm up exercises and self defense moves. She also encouraged us to join their self defense classes at Palayam.

Day 31 of Online Classes

 Today was the logo release and inauguration of the social science association. They have chosen the name 'เดเด•്เดฏ ' which means to become one. The name is a good reminder for these times where the world is divided in the name of religion, caste, race, resources etc.  The chief guest was Arya Rajendran, the  mayor  of Trivandrum and is the youngest (22 years) to hold that position. Felicitations were expressed by singers Mrs. Veena Haridas and Mr. Ravishankar. The surprising fact was that there were almost 100 participants throughout the program. The effort taken by each and everyone of the class (as well as from other classes) could be seen.

Prime Numbers in Nature

 Prime numbers are one of the easiest concepts to understand and learn in Maths. But some of the complex problems in Maths belong to this branch. Never would have imagined an application of prime numbers in nature. Thanks to the book 'Weird Maths: At The Edge of Infinity and Beyond' which introduced me to this along with other weird applications of Maths. There's a particular species type of cicadas found in the US called the Magicicada or the 'periodical cicadas' who stay in their larva for 13 or 17 years. Imagine staying inside for over a decade with no connection to the outside world and coming out in the year 2021. People wearing masks walking all around you, smartphones, oh, the shock!๐Ÿคฏ It is the primality of these numbers which interest the mathematicians. The reasons are quite interesting. As the lifecycle of the prey changes, the population cycle (pattern in the population for a period of time) of their predators also vary due to the change in the availabil...

Coastline Paradox

 Ever wondered how the perimeter of irregular surfaces (like coastlines, borders of a fern leaf) are measured and compared?  For example, let us consider a coastline, you can see that as we zoom in on the picture more irregularities pop up, there is no stage of zooming in where we'll finally reach a straight line. So, if I had to measure the coastline using a 15 cm scale, it'd obviously ignore the small irregularities which lie beyond the scope of a 15 cm scale. If I measure the coastline using a 5 cm scale, then it would accommodate comparatively more irregularities, as a result, the length of the same coastline will be more in this case. This means as the precision of the scale increases the length of the coastline increases. Comparison of coastlines between different regions becomes difficult due to this dilemma. This is known as the 'Coastline Paradox' or 'Richardson effect' and originally the problem was framed as, "How Long is the Coast of Britain?...
