Yoga- Music Day celebrations

Over the weekend, our creative club, 'CREARE' conducted the inauguration and we reminded our friends with the help of a small creative video.

Thank to some of the bright and creative minds of our club who helped in putting up a one of a kind program on Saturday. Everyone was mesmerized by the performance of Sreeram sir (chief guest) who is a well known flutist. He played every requested song on his flute.

21st June 2021

Today was filled with programs. Never thought I would've been able to say that during the pandemic. The union and our faculty is making sure that we do not miss any of that college fun at home. The day began with 'Yoga Day' program with Dr. S. Hari Krishnan( National Yoga Trainer) and the session was quite informative.

Also, this week is 'National Reading Week' and every day each class will release a Youtube video, reviewing some books they have read. The 'Sparya' association started the week with a bang.

Also. today is 'World Music Day' and as a part of that our college band 'Thelaya' released a video which was fantastic. None of us in the band knew about the songs others were going to sing, we were just asked to send the audios and videos to Jis and Sajin. MTTC has made me do a lot of things I never thought I'll do in my life.

We had a newspaper quiz in between which kind of reminded me to pay more attention to newspaper more often.

Looking forward for the upcoming events of this week.

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!🤯 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...

Not a Typical Movie Review

We were assigned with the task of watching a movie and understand its educational implications. I had chosen the movie 'Dead Poets Society (1989)' directed by Peter Weir starring the late Robin Williams. I'd seen this movie a while ago but this time, I decided to watch it to understand what makes John Keating different from other teachers. This Academy award winning movie is set in a conservative boy's boarding school named Welton's Academy which is known for churning out disciplined and academically brilliant students. The story focuses on a group of seventeen year old boys and their English teacher John Keating (Robin Williams). John Keating is a nonconformist and lives by the phrase 'Carpe Diem' which means 'seize the day'. He encourages his students to get rid of their fears, find their voices and live their lives to the fullest through poetry. Their newfound interest in poetry led them to create a secret club named Dead Poets Society. One of t...

The Story of Probability

Why was the concept of probability invented? This is the question we are going to answer through this post. Probability was discovered to answer a gambling problem. The original problem is a bit complicated but the simplified version goes like this. Suppose two persons, A and B are playing a game of coin toss where the person who gets their toss thrice first wins a pot of gold. If the score is 2-1 and the game has to be stopped due to some unforeseeable reasons then how would the pot of gold be divided? By logic, since A is leading with 2 points and B only has 1 point, the pot can be divided in the ratio of 2:1 . This seems like a good argument but this fails when the score is 0-1. In this case, it seems unfair to give the pot of gold to B based on the previous argument when A may have a chance to win in the upcoming tosses. But if one were to calculate the probability of winning the game of the two players, then it would give us a foolproof explanation as to how...
