HOW TO CREATE A MASTERPIECE?

A micro story:
In a famous Indian temple, the stepping stone asked the main deity, "people are walking on me without respect but worship you with great respect. why? Even though we came from the same stone."
The deity replied, " The artisan made just two or three cuts to make you. But I received so many blows and cuts with chisel and hammer. I bore them all. My eyes, nose and all my features, dress, jewels are chiseled and carved out intricately by the artisan. That is why I get the respect that I deserve".
Lesson 1. The masterpiece or statue is hidden in the stone.
Lesson 2: It takes so much hard work with devotion and patience to carve out the deity.

Every marble or stone has a beautiful sculpture. It is up to us to carve it out.

We know 'white contains all the colours'. So does the white paper. Using paints and brushes, if you reveal proper portion of proper colours at proper places in the white canvas, you get a painting masterpiece. But that requires dedication and involvement.

A battery supplies 9 volt or 12 volt. If you connect it to a speaker, you will only get a humming sound. But if you add electronic circuit to the battery, it will modify and undulate the voltage which when given to speaker yields a beautiful melody. So a song is hidden in the voltage. So does the picture, a movie and a text. We have to extricate or carve out them from the steady electrical voltage.
Projector screen is also white. We create a movie on it with colours and time.

In those days, the input to the computer was given with punched cards- cards with holes. A plain card serves no purpose. But a card (post card size) with proper holes at the proper places conveys info. to the computer. It process the input info. and gives the output.

In a nutshell, how to create the masterpiece,
The nature and the world has provided us everything. All the gadgets, devices, artworks, monuments are hidden in the materials. We have to carve out them with innovation and sincerity.

Now you know the secret, you can become master.

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
