STRENGTH OF PASSWORD

First, let us take a 4-digit PIN. Let us also assume that a man is attempting to steal it. To get the first digit right, he has to try all the 10 digits (0--9) and 'one' will be correct. So the chance of getting correct first digit, is 1/10. The ' Multiplication rule in probability' says that the chance of getting all the four digits right is 1/10*1/10*1/10*1/10 = 1/10000. It means, if he makes 10000 tires, at one instant he will get the correct PIN. But the bank allows only 3 tries and limited time. So the PIN is safe as long as you keep it safe.

Now our financial transactions depends on the password. Let us see, how to strengthen the password.

Let us consider a 7 character password which can take alphabets and numerals. The total number of characters is 26+10= 36. The chance of getting any one character right is 1/36. As usual, the chance of getting all the seven characters right is 1/36*1/36*1/36*1/36*1/36*1/36 *1/36 = 1/36^7 = 1/ 78364164096. So the chance getting correct password is almost negligible. If you increase the length of the password and add more special characters to the password, its strength increases. It is difficult to break it.

The mathematics behind the PIN and the passwords is strong. So handle them with confidence and care. An example : STRONG password @2018.

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...
