HOW TO DETECT FINANCIAL FRAUD?

6.25 , here 6 is the first digit.
72.5, 7 is the first digit
12.65 1 is the first digit.
We think, all the digits (1 to 9) have equal probabilities to appear as first digit. That is, they has to appear 1 out of 9 times - 11% probability.

But a man, named Benford researched heavily and gave a law. "The 'one' appears as a first digit 30% of the time". The small numbers 1,2,3 appears more as first digit than large numbers like 7,8,9.
Benford law holds good in baseball statistics, area of rivers, population sizes, street address, city populations, super market prices etc.
Let us consider door numbers in a street which has 30 houses.

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19.20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,
30.

1 appears 11 times as first digit out of 30. So around 30% times.
Let us say, a price starts at 1 dollar and goes up 10% every time.
1.00.1.10, 1.21,1.33,1.46,1.61,1.77,1.95,2.14,2.36,2.59.....
So naturally 1 appears more times.

SOME PHYSICS CONSTANTS
1. Electronic charge= 1.6021 *10ˆ19 C
2. Magnetic constant= 1.2566...
3. Boltzmann constant =1.3806...
4. Atomic mass constant= 1.6605*10ˆ-27 kg.
5. Atmospheric pressure = 101325 pa
6. Square root of 2 = 1.414
7. Square root of 3 = 1.732
8. Golden ratio =1.618

The human body's vital parameters like, pulse, BP, temperature, oxygen level, waist measurement, sugar level all should be around 100 -one as first digit.

So if you cook up your tax report or balance sheet, a computer software based Benford law will give you away.
According to Benford, the probability of a digit for being a first digit is given below.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
30.1% 17.6% 12.5% 9.7% 7.9% 6.7% 5.8% 5.1% 4.6%

Small numbers play a major role in our life than large numbers.
We have one sun, one moon and one living planet. Two genders. Three dimensions. Two forms of life- animals and plant. A three letter language called DNA. The most abundant element in the universe is Hydrogen-a one proton -one electron atom. The list goes on.
'One' and 'small numbers' dominate this universe.

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...
