NUMBER 3 & THREE ANGLES


I thought about this from my childhood itself. Why Mathematics???...I asked myself, why do I like mathematics? Is this because my father was a mathematics teacher???Is it just because I can do it and I enjoy solving problems? Or am I just fascinated with numbers and figures? It could even be that I love formulas. But one thing is certain. I really enjoy working with mathematical concepts whether it's from simple operations such as addition and subtraction, to solving complicated problems concerning trigonometry. My favorite branches of mathematics are algebra, trigonometry, geometry, statistics, and operations research, being a researcher in economics...i love the way that mathematics integrates with economics in mathematical economics and econometrics.
MY FAVOURITE NUMBER???...3, 7, 9.


The origin of the numeral forms suggests that the numerals originated as various numbers of dots, which were connected with lines or on the basis of angles .Around the middle of the tenth century al-Uqlidisi wrote Kitab al-fusul fi al-hisab al-Hindi which is the earliest surviving book that presents the Indian numeral system. In it al-Uqlidisi argues that the system is of practical value:-
"Most arithmeticians are obliged to use it in their work: since it is easy and immediate, requires little memorisation, provides quick answers, demands little thought ... Therefore, we say that it is a science and practice that requires a tool, such as a writer, an artisan, a knight needs to conduct their affairs; since if the artisan has difficulty in finding what he needs for his trade, he will never succeed; to grasp it there is no difficulty, impossibility or preparation."















Whenever I come across people with different life problems, I get really excited to help them. I really like to think and apply math especially on real life situations. Applying it that way makes it more meaningful to me. Even during my dark ages, I managed to ace my math scores. i think people with good arithmetic ability have better problem solving skills

hey do u like 69??? they are MADE FOR EACH OTHER!!!
Oh NOOoo.... they got mad at each other!!!
