School Life in the 1950’s School Life in the 1950’s was harder than today because the facilities were few and inadequate. Teachers were stricter and corporal punishment was still in use. They had fewer subjects and wealth‚ discrimination‚ sexism and racism meant they could only do certain subjects. After World War 2 there was a baby boom and as a result in the 1950’s schools were quickly filling up as the children enrolled. The enrolments increased as much as 30% over the ‘baby-boomers’ decade.

Introduction Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920) was one of India’s greatest mathematical figures. He was a child prodigy‚ with a natural instinct for mathematics. As though he could see how everything comes together. He was particularly interested in modular functions and number theory. This essay is divided into two sections. In the first section I will report on Ramanujan’s life. I have decided to take a unique approach‚ and instead of reporting solely based on biographies (and biographies about

History of Mathematics Compare and contrast mathematics in India and China in the period 213 BCE to 1425 CE. India and China prepared the main contributions in the past for mathematics that has influenced mathematics in today’s day and age‚ with numerous discoveries that would inspire the world of mathematics to an unimaginable degree. The period 213 BCE and 1425 CE is important to examine just because we believe that this was the approximate time of the Buddhist missionaries‚ were they travelled

Thales of Miletus (ca 624 - 546 BC) Greek domain Thales was the Chief of the Seven Sages of ancient Greece‚ and has been called the "Father of Science‚" the "Founder of Abstract Geometry‚" and the "First Philosopher." Thales is believed to have studied mathematics under Egyptians‚ who in turn were aware of much older mathematics from Mesopotamia. Thales may have invented the notion of compass-and-straightedge construction. Several fundamental theorems about triangles are attributed to Thales‚ including

Astronomy (Jyothissaasthram) was popular in Kerala even in ancient times‚ and their deep knowledge in that branch of science is well-known. A number of great treatises (Grantham) were written by several eminent scholars (most of them Namboothiri Brahmins) of the area at different times. It is difficult to date some of the very ancient ones such as "Devakeralam"‚ "Sukrakeralam" (also known as "Bhrigukeralam"‚ "Kerala Rahasyam" or "Keraleeyam" and has 10 chapters)‚ "Vararuchi Keralam” and "Keraleeya

Having shown an aptitude for mathematics‚ his education was oriented towards preparing him for life as a midshipman in the Royal Navy. His studies included algebra‚ trigonometry‚ geography‚ and navigation using ’practical astronomy’. Over the years‚ the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) made periodic requests to the school for students to be apprenticed to the North American fur trade. Many of these students would later
