LIFE'S CURVE



                                                         N = n*e^(r*t)

   The equation yields the natural growth or decay of any quantity.  Here, the initial amount of quantity  n becomes N after time lapse of  t at the rate of growth r.  When we apply the equation for decay, the r becomes negative. we know Euler's constant e=2.71...
       The applet given below draws the curve for the equation, you can play with the rate r  and see it's effect on the curve. The initial quantity n = 1.  The curve gives the quantity N (y) as the time t (x) progresses.  The curve rapidly grows or decays and then it becomes slow.  But the curve tends to go to infinity.  To view the curve properly adjust the graph sheet in the applet.


                                       

   1.   When a capacitor is connected to a battery, it charges up.  When disconnected, it discharges.  The discharging voltage is given by the following relationship.
                                                              Vc = Vo*e^(-t/RC)
     here Vo is full voltage.  Vc is the decaying voltage as the time t progresses and -1/RC is the rate of fall of voltage.

    2.  The bulging earth's population can  also be calculated with this formula
                                                              .p1 = p*e^(r*t)
       p - initial population and world's rate of growth is said to be 1.68% (r = 0.0168) 
.
  3.   If you want your money to double every year in the bank, what should be the rate of interest?  It is not 100%.  But only 69.31% per annum ( r= 0.6931).  But on one condition the interest must be added to the principle very frequently.
                                           Amount = principle*e^(rate*no.of years)

      Hence this exponential relationship is applicable to rise and fall of current, radioactive decay, growth of a child, multiplication in a bacteria colony, cooling of cup of coffee and so on.certainly the curve plays vital role in our life.
     In this context, I want to mention another formula, no, a most beautiful formula in all of mathematics.

                                 e^(𝝿*i)+1 = 0

     The formula connects 5 most important constants in maths (e.pi,1,0,i).  It uses three operations(*,+,^).  It represents 4 branches of maths.  Arithmetic by 1 and 0:  Algebra by i; Geometry by pi; analysis by e. (i = root of -1)
     Regarding the formula, a Harvard's mathematician said "It is absolutely paradoxical; we cannot understand it and we do not know what it means.  But we have proved it and therefore it must be true."

   Science update:  Scientists have developed a compact low cost infrared laser microscope with 10 times more magnifying power than light based ones.

Your heart -you do not know

  Size and Location: The human heart is roughly the size of a clenched fist and is located slightly to the left of the center of the chest. Despite its relatively small size, the heart plays a crucial role in pumping blood throughout the entire body. Heartbeat Variability: The heart does not beat at a constant rate. The interval between heartbeats can vary, and this variability is considered a sign of a healthy heart. Factors such as breathing, emotions, and physical activity influence the heartbeat. Electrical Conduction: The heart's contractions are controlled by electrical impulses. The sinoatrial (SA) node, often called the "natural pacemaker," generates electrical signals that regulate the heartbeat and coordinate the pumping of blood. Blood Pumping Capacity: On average, the human heart pumps about 2,000 gallons (or 7,570 liters) of blood each day. Over a lifetime, this amounts to pumping enough blood to fill several Olympic-sized swimming pools. Heart Chambers and V...

THE WORK HORSE "="

    One cannot think of  a mathematical step without 'is equal to ' .  It balances right hand side and left hand side.  It aids simplification and manipulation of a mathematical expression. example: 2(A+B)  = C 2A+2B  = C         2A = C-2B           A = C-2B/ 2   In an electronic calculator,  the pressing of ' = " sign executes an asthmatic expression  or simply calculates.       In computer languages, it plays very important role.                                                                 A = B   When a computer looks at this expression, the value stored in the location named B is just transferred to the storage named A .  After execution both A and B will have the same value an...

How does your smart phone detect motion, steps, rotation, and location?

 How it works-1  An accelerometer in a smartphone is a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device that measures acceleration and tilt. It works by detecting changes in motion by measuring the vibration or acceleration of the device. The accelerometer consists of a small mass suspended on a spring inside a sealed chamber. When the device is subjected to acceleration, the mass moves relative to the device, causing a change in capacitance that can be measured and processed by the smartphone's hardware. The accelerometer measures acceleration in three dimensions (x, y, and z) and provides data that the smartphone's software can use to determine the device's orientation, detect motion, and track changes in velocity and acceleration. The accelerometer is used for a variety of purposes in a smartphone, including screen rotation, motion tracking for games and fitness apps, and detecting the position of the device for navigation and location services. Additionally, it can be used t...
