Pandy: Angle Sum Formula for Polygons
http://paramanand.blogspot.com/2010/12/angle-sum-formula-for-polygons.html
Not so cool stuff about everything! Thursday, December 02, 2010. Angle Sum Formula for Polygons. We are all familiar with the fact that the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. And for quadrilaterals the sum of its angles comes to be 360 degrees. This can be generalized to prove that the sum of angles of polygon of n. Sides is (n - 2) * 180 degrees. Second approach is to take a point in the interior of the polygon and join this point with every vertex of the polygon. This gives us n. Thus ...

Pandy: Kudos to NCERT
http://paramanand.blogspot.com/2008/05/kudos-to-ncert.html
Not so cool stuff about everything! Thursday, May 15, 2008. For those not of the Indian origin, NCERT. National Council of Educational Research and Training) is a government body which publishes textbooks for students upto 12th grade apart from doing 'educational research and training'. Well to my utter excitement these NCERT books have improved their standard much beyond what I had seen in my time (1995-1998). First let me remark on the physical design (well, because it is remarkable enough! But the rea...

Not so cool stuff about everything! Saturday, July 20, 2013. Are Smartphones Fast Enough? For the last few years I have been writing a series of posts on my maths blog. When I started my blog I hosted it on Wordpress which used a LaTeX engine to support math content. Then I moved back to blogger which allowed full control of the template. I now use MathJax. For all the math content on my blog. Smartphones are not Fast Enough. Please think hard before spending huge sums of money on the latest smartphone!

Not so cool stuff about everything! Tuesday, August 29, 2006. Infinity Causes Infinite Confusion. There were some posts by people were engineering graduates and I was surprised to find that they still had similar feelings about the beast. I don't think that is excusable because almost all engineering courses have some course in basic calculus. But anyway, the real culprits are the teachers, professors and worst of all, the book authors who fail to explain even the very basic concepts like infinity. When ...

Not so cool stuff about everything! Saturday, June 03, 2006. Microsoft vs. Adobe. Recently Adobe is making a lot of uproar about suing Microsoft for bundling PDF export and XPS document format in Office 2007 and Windows Vista. XPS (XML Paper Specification) is Microsoft's answer to Adobe PostScript format and as Microsoft is saying is going to be a better technology. Why doesn't Adobe beat Microsoft in terms of quality rather than suing them? They created an open standard for widespread adoption by users ...

Not so cool stuff about everything! Tuesday, September 27, 2005. To Hell with Intelligent Design. Today I came to read a news article. I wonder how can a developed country like USA be so irrational enough to allow such stuff in schools. This is sharp contrast to their engineering and technological achievements and it bothers me too much. I think that ideas propounded in Bible and other similar literature should be a part of some subject like "Moral Science" or history or pure literature, but in no way sh...

Not so cool stuff about everything! Saturday, November 18, 2006. Book Review: Breaking the Spell. The book "Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon" is a very bold attempt by the renowned philosopher Daniel C. Dennett. It tries to study the phenomenon of religion from an objective viewpoint using the scientific methods of observations and logical reasoning. Like all other books by Dennett. It is highly thought provoking and I simply could not put the book down for 3 days. A religion without ...

Pandy: Another Proof of Pythagoras Theorem
http://paramanand.blogspot.com/2010/11/another-proof-of-pythagoras-theorem.html
Not so cool stuff about everything! Monday, November 29, 2010. Another Proof of Pythagoras Theorem. Pythagoras Theorem is one of the most important theorems in elementary geometry. It states that in a right angled triangle the square of the largest side is the sum of the squares of the other two sides. There are a large number of proofs available in textbooks and online articles. I will show here a very simple proof that uses only two concepts:. 1) Area is additive. 2) Congruent figures have same area.
