POWERFUL MATH IN CLOCK'S FACE

ADVT: HOME PROJECTOR IN AMAZON

The clock's face has 12 elements. Let us assume that it forms a group G.
1. Add any two numbers in the clock's face.
2'0clock +3 hours =5'o clock
2+3=5, 5+4=9,
But 9+5=14 =2.
Adding any two numbers will always give another number in group G. Hence the 'group' satisfies 'closure' property.

2. 3'oclock +12 hours =3'oclock
9'oclock+12 hours =9'oclock.
so A*12=A
If you add any element 'A' in the group to 12, the result is always 'A'
The '12' is called the 'identity' of the group.

3. Take 5, add 12-5 (7) to it.
5+7 =12 we get the identity. 7 or 12-5 is said to be the inverse of '5'. Hence, for every element 'a' of the group, there is another element b, so that a+b =identity. Element b is called the 'inverse' of a. In our case b=12-a.

4. Group elements also exhibit 'associativity' property.
(a+b)+c =a+(b+c).

Now we can define the 'group'
"A group is a set of elements equipped with binary operation addition or multiplication and has the above four properties".

We will create one problem with the clock's face. You are allowed to move the 'hour's needle' by 2-step or 2 hours only. You have to move 4 times and you have to reach 3'o clock exactly. The question is 'where to start' initially?
4times *2hours =8 hours we have to move hour-needle by 8 hours and reach 3'oclock.
Start+8hours =3'oclock.
x+8 =3
x=3-8
Instead of subtracting 8, we can add 'inverse of 8=4 to 3.
Hence x=3+4 =7
You have to start from 7'oclock to reach 3 in 4 steps.

Rotations, transformations always form the group. Rubik cube solution algorithm is based on group theory. We know, Rubik cube mainly involves rotations.

Weekdays also form a group.
SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT
1 2 3 4 5 6 7

They are similar to the clock's numbers. But they have identity 7.
Here also, we will create a problem and solve it using the group's properties.

Today is Tuesday(3). I want to find immediate 'Sunday' after a month. How many days I have to wait for that Sunday?
If you add 7(4times) to 3, you will again reach (3) after 28 days.
3+(4*7) = 3 (7 being identity)
We know, 3(Tue) + 5 days =8 =1(sun)
If you again add 5 days to 3, you will reach Sunday. That is, you have to wait 28+5 =33 days. to reach Sunday after a month.
Groups are another wonder of mathematics. They are applied in all fields of science.

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...
