I took this title from the poem that I read in my school days. I remember scoring 95% marks in Mathematics in my 10th standard (Board Examination). Well, for this performance I would like to give credit to my school teachers and more importantly to my Mother, who is good at Mathematics.
During my school days when I reached home from school, my mother used to teach me Maths. I remember once that, when I fell asleep, my mother worked out the solutions for my maths probled and wrote those solutions on the floor for my reference. The next day early morning, i copied all the solutions and submitted it to my class teacher who appreciated my enthusiasm for solving the problems. Since then, I loved mathetmatics as a subject. The real credt goes to my mom.
It's true that Mathematics is the best solution for a wandering mind as it brings more focus and clarity in our thought processes as "numbers don't lie..! "
Mathematics learning techniques has changed over the last few years and there are several books that explains these techniques in a simplified way. The books written by Shakuntala Devi, Aditi Singhal and Sudhir Singhal demostrates how mathematics can be learnt in a more easy and enjoyable manner. While speaking of mathematics, one should not forget the genius “Srinivasa Ramanujam” whose contribution to complex analysis has changed the way we solve math problems today.
The book written by Aditi Singhal and Sudhir Singhal - "How to be a Math Magician" kindled my interest towards mathematics once again and inspired me to write this blog.
I am still reading this book and i am impressed by how this book provides simple solutions for complex problems. In my humble opinion, i recommend this book for the school going kids and this book would help nurture their interest towards learning Mathematics from a very young age.
Oh, by the way “World Maths Day” is celebrated every year on the 15th of October.
Please share your thoughts about this blog and share your math experience.
Until next blog....
