One day Trip

 7th March-11th March 2022

This week will be remembered as the week of our very first one day trip. Though we had classes from Monday to Thursday, Friday was the most important day of all. All of us with our beloved teachers including Maya ma'am, Ancy ma'am, Joju sir and Nadhanine sir had joined us for the trip. We began the trip at 7 am and came back at 11.30 pm. It was a well-planned trip. First, we visited the Padhmanabapuram Palace then we went to Kanyakumari. My favourite part of the trip was the sunset at the Kanyakumari beach followed by a stroll along the beach. No matter what, the sea has a magical power to lift your spirit. Few among us had managed to shoot a few Reel videos at Vivekananda Rock and beach.

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...

MathBytes - Work and Time

 This is a small initiative by DIKSHA, math association of MTTC to help students, who find it difficult to solve math problems in competitive exams. I've chosen to focus on the 'Work & Time' problems, which have a wide array of problems under it. Hope this three-part video lesson (available on YouTube) covers most of it.
