IS THE TEACHER REQUIRED IN THE TIME OF GOOGLE?


CLASS V
Student A :  What is the boiling point of water?
Teacher:      100 degree c is said to be the boiling point of water.
Student A:   Why 100 degree c ?
Teacher:  At 100 degree c , water bubbles up and evaporates.
Student A:  O.K.

CLASS X
Student B:  What is really happening at the boiling point?
Teacher:  Liquid water changes into gaseous state.  At the boiling point, the water molecules gains enough energy to flight the air molecules and escapes into the atmosphere.  Hence at 100 degree c, the water vapour pressure and the atmospheric pressure equals.

CLASS XII
 Student C:  What you mean by 'liquid changes into gas'?
Teacher:  The water molecules has positive end and the negative end.  The positive side of one molecule attracts negative side of another molecule.  Hence the water molecules cling together as a drop, as a liquid.  As the temperature increases, the molecules gains energy and break free from the electrostatic bonds.  The free molecules bubbles up; form vapour and than escapes into atmosphere as water gas.

    In a pharmacy, all medicines are available in plenty.  Vast medical information are also available in the internet.  Can we treat ourselves? We know, it is dangerous.  An educated, experienced doctor is required.  A teacher like doctor should give a student the required info. in right quantity at the right time.
     Teacher motivates the students for learning.  Innovation is his hall mark.  The aids, examples, experiments and narration must be interesting and innovative.  The teacher diagnose errors and mistakes and corrects them.
     Online courses, tests, training are available in plenty.  They may compliment the teachers and cannot replace the teachers.  One cannot learn engineering, medicine, car driving and swimming online.  But online courses are a boon to improve knowledge and gain multiple skills.
     Young students definitely require teachers.  But mature students may do without them.
     Teacher has one thing called 'experience' which the machine lacks.  Teacher can enforce discipline, the machine cannot.  The machine is able to value objective type test and answers (multiple choice).  But it is not able to value subjective or descriptive answers still.
     The computer cannot pat or pull up a student but a teacher can.
     "Teacher is the friend, philosopher, guide, dispenser of knowledge, father   ....".
    "A poor teacher complains,
     An average teacher explains
     A good teacher teaches
     A great teacher inspires".

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
