YOU ARE UNIQUE

 

  Suppose you are given 4 symbols A,1,B,2, how many passwords you can make with them or how many different arrangements are possible with 4 symbols.
Examples:1A2B, 12AB, AB12, ...... 

     First place can be taken by any of the 4 symbols.  So 4 arrangements are possible for first place.  Second place can be taken by remaining 3 symbols {3 arrangements}.  2  arrangements for third place  and only one letter is left for last position.  Hence total number of arrangements is 
4*3*2*1 = 24=4! =factorial 4.

     So factorial N gives the total number of arrangements or permutations possible with N objects.
 There are 52 playing cards, we know.  Each time you shuffle, you get a new arrangement of cards.  How many arrangements are possible?
52! = 25*51*50*.........2*1. = 
      = 8.066*10^67
8 followed by 67 zeros.
Here the total number of arrangements  of cards is unimaginably huge.  Each time you shuffle a deck of cards, you create an unique  arrangement which was not created by any human on the planet earth while shuffling the cards.  The chance of creating the very same arrangement as yours [by another person] mathematically is 1/8.066*10^67  which is very minuscule.

      When nature creates humans like you and me, the creation is unique because of large number of possibilities.  Everybody has unique physique, talents and traits.  Probably, no one on the globe has beautiful fingers like yours or language skills like yours.

     So you are unique.  Find your own potential to earn fame and wealth.  Everybody is an unique gift to this world and not a burden.  [By the way, remember the power of factorial].

LISSAJOUS FIGURES

  Definition:  "When a particle is subjected to two sine wave motion or two oscillatory motion at right angles, the particle describes lissajous figures".      We know sine wave motion and circular motion is basically same.  Hence we draw two circles A and B perpendicular to each other.  The circle B rotates twice faster than circle A.  That is, frequency of circle B is two times than that of A.        A particle at the intersection of two circles is subjected to two sine wave motion   A and B at 90 degree simultaneously.  The particle will describe figures depending on the frequency and phase of A and B .  In our case, the ratio of frequency is  1:2 and the two waves are in phase.        To draw lissajous figures :  A moving point in both the circles are chosen.   Here we should remember; during the time taken by the circle A to complete one rotation, circle B completes two.  Hence the points are marked on the circles according to their speed.  Then straight lines

THE PARABOLA

          A jet of water shooting from a hose pipe will follow a parabolic path.  What is the so special about parabola.    Y= x^2 Draw a graph for the above equation.  It will result in a parabola.  This parabola is also called unit parabola.  Any equation involving square will yield a parabola. Example:  Y = 2x^2 +3x+3 (also called quadratic equation)    X= 2 and -2, both  satisfies the equation 4 = X^2.  Parabolic equations always have two solutions.     Any motion taking place freely under gravity follows parabolic path. Examples:   An object dropped from a moving train,   A bomb dropped from flying plane,  A ball kicked upwards.      If a beam of light rays fall on the parabolic shaped mirror, they will be reflected and brought to focus on a point.  This fact is made use of in Dish Antenna, Telescope mirrors, etc.      Inverted parabola shape is used in the construction of buildings and bridges.  Because the shape is able to bear more weight.      A plane

CASINO'S GAME

           Let us find out how the casino survives with mathematics.      Say, your friend invite you for a game of dice.  You must bet (wager) 2 dollars.  If you roll 'six' you will get back 8 dollars.  The game will go on for 30 rounds.  All sounds good.      The probability of rolling 'six' is 1/6.  Since the game will be played for 30 times, the 'expected win' is 30*1/6 = 5.  That is, you are expected to win 5 rounds out of 30.  Hence your gain will be 5 * 8 =40 dollars.  ok.  This also implies that you will loose 25 rounds.  Hence your loss will be 25*2 =50 dollars.  Your net gain will be gain-less = 40-50 = -10 dollars. For 30 rounds, the loss is -10 dollars, Hence, for one round =-10/30 = -1/3 dollars.  There will be a loss of -1/3 or 0.33 dollars per round.  It is not a fair game.     Let us make a simple formula to calculate  'Pay out per round\. The probability for a win = p The pay-out in case of win = V No. of rounds = n The expect
