(by mohan arora) Have you ever thought how this world of mathematics would be without irrational numbers? If the great Pythagorean hyppasus or any other mathematician would have not ever thought of such numbers? Before ‚understanding the development of irrational numbers ‚we should understand what these numbers originally are and who discovered them? In mathematics‚ an irrational number is any real number that cannot be expressed as a ratio a/b‚ where a and b are integers and b is non-zero

November 2014 “The Life of Sir Isaac Newton” When I had to choose a name from the list of the greatest mathematicians‚ it became a difficult task to only choose one. There are so many people to choose from‚ but I chose‚ Isaac (Sir) Newton. Isaac Newton was born on January 4th 1643 in Woolsthorpe‚ England. Newton died on March 31‚ 1727 in London. Newton was a very different type of mathematician‚ his ways were not always the same as the other greats. Isaac Newton mainly used mathematics as a researching
