mathematics poem

Tiny Baby Ant

Tiny baby ant,

And his auntie Bee,

Were having so much fun,

Climbing up a tree...

Tiny baby ant,

Saw some monkeys play,

Look 11 monkeys,

On the tree today!

That's a lot of monkeys,

Said his Auntie Bee, 

Are you sure there are 11,

Let me count and see,

Auntie Bee then counted,

And only got to ten,

She checked her math 5 times, 

And 5 more times again!!!!!

She didn't get 11,

Not even 9 or 8,

10 + 0 monkeys,

And not one giant APE!!!!!!!!!!

She turned to tiny ant,

"Count them one more time," 

He counted one by one,

And got one more than nine!

10 + 0 monkeys on the tree today,

10 fun-loving monkeys,

That really like to play!!!!!!!!!

POWER POINT PRESENTATION

THE GREAT MATHEMAGICIAN: ARYABHATTA

Aryabhatta, a famous mathematician and astronomer of ancient India, was born in 476 AD in Kerala. He completed his studies at the famous ancient university of Nalanda; which is in the present state of Bihar. He was the first in the line of great mathematician-astronomers from the classical age of Indian mathematics and Indian astronomy.

He was the very first to find the radius of the earth and was the only one in ancient time including the Greeks and the Romans to find the volume of the earth. Aryabhatta made a amazing declaration that Earth is spherical and it rotates on its own axis which results in day and night. He even concluded that the moon is dark and shines because of the light of sun. He gave a logical explanation to the theory of solar and lunar eclipses. He declared that eclipses are caused due to the shadows casted by the Earth and the moon. Aryabhatta proposed the geocentric model of the solar system which states that the Earth is in the center of the universe and also laid the foundation for the concept of Gravitation. His work was of great influence in the Indian astronomical tradition. His suggested methods of astronomical calculations in his Aryabhatta-Siddhatha which was used to make the the Hindu calendar i.e Panchanga.

In fact, modern names "sine" and "cosine" are typewritten copy of the words jya and kojya as introduced by Aryabhata. He suggested formula to calculate the areas of a triangle and a circle, which were correct. He gave the value ofas 3.01416, place value system with zero, and he was the first mathematician to what later came to be called the table of since. His method to find solution to indeterminate equations of the type ax – by = c is also recognized the world over. His method to find out the solution indeterminate; an equator of this type is recognized the world over. He also formed a novel method to express large number such as 100,000,000,000 in words. He developed the method unwieldy numbers in poetic form.

This exceptional man boasted to baffle many mathematicians of today. Aryabhatta is considered to be one of the mathematicians who changed the course of mathematics and astronomy to a great extent. In his honour ; the Indian government named its first satellite Aryabhata ; which was launched in 1975.An Institute for conducting research in astronomy, astrophysics and atmospheric sciences is the Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIOS) near Nainital, India. The inter-school Aryabhata Maths Competition is also named after him, as is Bacillus aryabhata.
