As you know, mathematics - is the mother of all sciences.And it's no wonder.Since all the sciences focused on the calculations.However, this does not mean that everything in the realm of dull and boring.Not at all!Despite the seriousness of the exercises, there are amazing and interesting facts about mathematics.And you can find them in almost any corner of the globe.
Surprisingly, but - the fact
consider the most interesting facts about mathematics, for our country, as well as
Western states.As is known, there is zero does not belong to the set of natural numbers.But not all think so: in the West it belongs to the natural numbers.
Or here's another example.Many of us live and do not realize that "now" fly away from them pretty quickly - 86 to 400 times per day.This one did not give the name of the notation, but figure out how much lasts a moment: about one hundredth of a second.
As it turned out, some people are very superstitious to some numbers.For example, in Japan and in China there is nothing to number four, as this figure represents death itself.Therefore, it is not customary to use, even in hotels.
Israel reject all that one way or another connected with Christianity, so they do not write "plus" in mathematical calculations, and costing only an inverted "T".
A gambling (roulette in a casino) 666 - the sum of all the values that are present on the drum.
Interesting examples
Everyone knows from school, what happens if you add up all the numbers from one to ten.You forgot?Do not be afraid, we recall that the total is 54.
those people who are friends with the exact sciences, we know that if you add up all the values from 1 to 100, you get quite an impressive number - 5050.
You can make a simple calculation and see thatwill, if you enter into the calculator the first 3 digits of your phone number (without an operator), multiply them by 80, add 1, then all you need to multiply by 250, add the last 4 digits of your phone number twice, take 250 divided by 2. The answeris an amazing number.It will amaze you, I assure you!
Ig Nobel Prize
Everyone knows what a Nobel Prize, to whom and for which it is awarded.But in addition it has another unusual award.It is called the Ig Nobel Prize.Who can become the winner?It is awarded simultaneously with the Nobel, but, unlike the famous awards, Ig Nobel given for those ingenious projects that currently can not be translated into reality.Or never do because they are absurd.In 2009, this very award was handed to the veterans who have proven that a cow that has a nickname, give more milk than the one whose name is not.
experiment
Surprisingly, the researchers conducted an experiment that shows how far
axis represent in his mind the people who do not have education.Among the subjects were representatives of the tribe Mundurucu and American students who do not know how to count.They were given a certain number of view points, and after some time asked to indicate which are the numbers one to ten.It was found that for most people the smallest values have long distances.
As it turned out, in the field of cooking, too, are taking place interesting facts about mathematics.For example, the cake can be cut in two ways by eight flat pieces.
Useful tips
Many people do not know how to check the authenticity of euro banknotes.But it is relatively easy to do.You need to bring a letter from the serial plate and substitute in its place a number (the serial number of the alphabet).Then you need to add up the resulting number with the other values.And then add the result to the numbers until no one will value - 8. It turns out that these interesting facts about mathematics can help verify the authenticity of banknotes.
If you take a few figures (among which will be a circle) with the same perimeters, after a series of calculations it appears that the range of the largest square.It must be noted that if a calculation of the perimeter of the circle and the rest of the figures, it will remain in the minority.Yes, it is the smallest perimeter.
interesting historical facts about mathematics
Today, people use the decimal system of calculation, but it was not always.At a time when our ancestors were just beginning to be considered, they used a system of 20 characters, using the fingers on the hands and feet.After the trend has changed.For example, people in Babylon believed not only fingers, but a phalanx that has issued the number twelve.
more thing applies to the "Fun and interesting facts about mathematics."As far as we all know, the Romans were intelligent people.They well knew how to count.However, there was one flaw - the number "0".It is now used everywhere, and in Rome it was not.Do not believe me?And in vain!Proof of it is the fact that the zero can not be recorded by any of the well-known Roman numerals!
Interesting facts about the great mathematician Albert Einstein
childhood was gifted.But with talent in mathematics, he could not go to Zurich Polytechnic school facilities due to the fact that he failed to collect the required number of points in other subjects.By the way, these features of the development observed in many geniuses.Soon, pulling knowledge necessary disciplines, Einstein was admitted to the classes at this school.
There are other interesting facts about famous mathematicians.The American University graduate student George Dantzig could solve two problems that were previously considered unanswered.The fact that the future mathematician bit late to class.Then the board, he wrote off these problems, deciding that they were homework.They seemed complex, but George got a few days to close the issue on which more than one year, scientists thought.
It turns out that math can be learned not only at school or in college, but also at home, looking at the wallpaper.Anyway, it turned out at the Sofia Kovalevskaya.
It turned out that she was a child in the room looked at the sheets with lectures about integral and differential calculating ,.And the thing is that a child's simply not enough wallpaper.And thank God!
Surprisingly, with the help of mathematics, you can find out when the last day on earth.Abraham de Moivre (scientist from Britain) was able to achieve this through an arithmetic progression.He noticed for a fact that he starts every day for 15 minutes more sleep.What came of it?Abraham was a progression, which specify the date when he will sleep 24 hours a day.This proved to November 27, 1754.Just one day a mathematician and died.
