OVER-HEATED PLANET

OVER-HEATED PLANET

Global Warming.......is a very serious issue that haunts every sensible mind ....Planet earth ..our home is going through a major climatic change . Which gradually can lead to the extinction of life from the surface of the Earth .........Statistics says that the average surface temperature of earth has increased by more than 1 degree Fahrenheit since 1900 and the rate of warming has been nearly three times the century-long average since 1970.

Most of the observed warming over the last 50 years is due to human activities . The primary causes are the increased amounts of Carbondioxide and other greenhouse gases .

A recent article in NewYork times stated that according to "New studies project " the Arctic Ocean could be mostly open water in summer by 2040 — several decades earlier than previously expected — A major consequence of global warming ............

Climate experts say that without major restrictions in greenhouse gas emissions, 21st century could see temperatures rise by 3 to 8 degrees, sharp changes in weather patterns , ice sheets shrink and sea level rise by several feet. And if it goes on this way , all galciers would melt and continents would go under water.............no human , no life would walk on the surface of the earth. Isin't it scary ????? But that is where we are heading to ........So lets try to change it with all our means ......lets try to gift a green home to our future generation ..............Lets make an effort to stop pollution in every pssible way..................its our home ...so let us save it ....................

The disintegrating face of the Müller Ice Shelf, Lallemand Fjord, Antarctic Peninsula, 67° South, April 2, 1999. This small shelf, fed by glaciers from the Loubet Coast, has been receding recently .

The Larsen Ice Shelf lost a 1200 square mile section early in 2002. Earlier in the 1990's other huge sections of this shelf disintegrated.

Such events definitely will add to sea level.

Facts about us :

* In 2002 , 5 million people worldwide were newly infected with HIV .....................................................

* North America and Europe are drifting apart at a rate of about 2 cm per year...............

This weeks top excuse for not submitting an assignment :

I have a solar calculator and it was cloudy .............

Math Jokes :

Girl : "Do you love your math more than me?"
Boy : "Of course not, dear - I love you much more."
Girl : "Then prove it!"
Boy : "OK... Let R be the set of all lovable objects..."

Q:What is a dilemma?
A: A lemma that proves two results.

*********************************************

A Mathematician (M) and an Engineer (E) attend a lecture by a Physicist. The topic concerns Kulza-Klein theories involving physical processes that occur in spaces with dimensions of 9, 12 and even higher. M is sitting, clearly enjoying the lecture, while E is frowning and looking generally confused and puzzled. By the end E has a terrible headache. At the end, M comments about the wonderful lecture.
E: "How do you understand this stuff?"
M: "I just visualize the process"
E: "How can you POSSIBLY visualize something that occurs in 9-dimensional space?"
M: "Easy, first visualize it in N-dimensional space, then let N go to 9"

Biologists think they are biochemists,
Biochemists think they are Physical Chemists,
Physical Chemists think they are Physicists,
Physicists think they are Gods,
And God thinks he is a Mathematician.

Paradise ........

Our Earth is the 5 th largest planet in the solar system ....Though it is considered to be younger than other planets , it is still about 4.6 billion years old.....most of its early history has been erased by natural disaters , geographic erosions and tectonic processes .......the oldest fossil of living animal found is about 3.9 billion years old........Earth is the only planet known to harbor life in the solar system.......Is'ntit amazing .....it has all the necessary ingredients to support life.....71% of Earth's surface is coverd with water and it is perhaps the only planet where water can exist in liquid form on the surface...........its atmosphere has about 77% of nitrogen and 21% of oxygen.....thus making earth a perfect place for life...... There is a layer of Carbon di oxide in the earth's atmosphere that traps the solar heat and keeps earth warm enough for us.......this is called the Greenhouse effect . Without this, the temperature of the earth would have been much much lower and oceans would have frozen , making life impossible.........................................the biological processes required to continue life on earth is due to the presence of oxygen.....without it there would be no life on earth........ Our planet's rapid spin and molten nickel-iron core give rise to an extensive magnetic field . This field and the atmosphere, protects us from all of the harmful radiation coming from the Sun and other stars. Earth's atmosphere also acts a shield against meteors, most of which burn up before they can strike the earth's surface. Thus whoever has created our planet has blessed us with not just another solar body , but has gifted us our paradise .............We all share the same sun , breathe in the same air , wear the same coat of atmosphere and enjoy every essence of life....... Astronauts who have gone to the space and have seen our planet from the atmosphere are spellbound by its beauty .................................................................
Here are some of their quotes :-

My view of our planet was a glimpse of divinity.
- Edgar Mitchell, USA

A Chinese tale tells of some men sent to harm a young girl who, upon seeing her beauty, become her protectors rather than her violators. That's how I felt seeing the Earth for the first time. "I could not help but love and cherish her.
- Taylor Wang, China/USA

The Earth reminded us of a Christmas tree ornament hanging in the blackness of space. As we got farther and farther away it diminished in size. Finally it shrank to the size of a marble, the most beautiful marble you can imagine. That beautiful, warm, living object looked so fragile, so delicate, that if you touched it with a finger it would crumble and fall apart. Seeing this has to change a man, has to make a man appreciate the creation of God and the love of God.
- James Irwin, USA

So friends let all of us take care of our mother earth .......
lets not just scribble a small line on its maginificant surface , fight over it and ravage her divinity......
lets us take a vow to save our paradise...............

Cashing in on Mathematics :

Roulette , the most popular game of casinos around the world is nothing but just a game of probability.

Well what to do in the long weekend ? “Lets go to a casino and make some money ……” But do you know that the game of Roulette is designed in a way that guarantees the casino to win even if they do not win repeatedly…..well that’s how the game has been constructed….

lemme give you a simple example ……
Remember the roulette wheel….. It is divided into 38 numbered slots.
Green -2
Red -18
Black-18
Point 1 : Whenever the ball lands in 1 of those green slots, the house wins everything that was bet on that round.
Point 2 : Suppose you bet that the ball will land in red slot (or black slot). This is the safest possible bet in roulette, since the chances of you winning the game will be 18 out of 38 . But donot forget that at the same time the chances of you losing it will be 20 out of 38 ……
So for a shorter period of time …you might beat the odds and make some money ..but in the long run its always the casino that wins ….The Theory of Probability guarantees it …….So friends , always remember that a good soldier should know when to retreat ….this applies to all aspects of life …So next time, when betting on a Roulette table try not to forget this ………………

Facts about ourselves :

1. It takes 10 million of ATP molecules per second to power an active muscle cell...

2. Without the greenhouse effect of the atmosphere , the average temperature of our planet would be about 18 degrees Fahrenheit colder......

3. Every 4 years , the world population increases by the population equivalent of United States.....

4. Every year , humans destroy an area of Tropical Rain Forest equal to the size of West Virginia...

5. The DNA of any two people of same sex is 99.9% identical.....

Can u find ????????

1.Can you find the 10 th no. of this series ......

1, 2, 5, 10 , 17 ,................

Ans. : 82

Hint : ( it goes like this : 1st : 0^2 +1

2nd : 1^2+1 ...........................n th term :(n-1)^2+1 )

2. How do you switch the values of 2 variables , generally with the help of a third ......

For example : A=2 , B=3 ...and to swap them ....get a variable C

C<- A

A<-B

B<-C

and A has B' s value , B has A's value.........

So can you do the same switch without C ????????????

Hint : A=A+B

B=A-B

A=A-B

Facts :

We all know that the famous Ancient Greek Mathematician Pythagoras was the first person to prove the very famous Pythagorean Theorem named after the master himself , which states that the square of the hypotenuse of any triangle is equal to sum of the squares of the other two sides ..............but did you know that this great Mathematician was also one of the founders of music .....................He and his disciples found , for the first time that vibrating strings produce harmonious tones when the ratios of the lengths of the strings were altered by whole numbers.....Thus they invented the first Musical Instument on Earth !!!!!!!!! Is'int it amazing !!!!!!!!!!!

1 5 3
5 3 1
3 1 5

Can you see something strange in these numbers ????
Well their addition is always 9 , be it diagonal , horizontal or vertical !!!!!!!!!!

The role played..............
What does an actor have to do with mathematics .....How is Geometry related to a sportsperson ? Apparently no relation .....but actually , there lies a strong connection between Mathematics and any human being......Mathematics is nothing but a tool that helps in building a sense of logic in human mind. It equips it with a power to make decision , power to calculate the pros and cons of any step taken in the path of life. Infact Mathematics helps increase the brain power. It provides nourishment to the human brain , reinvigorates it's potentiality and makes it work in a much sophisticated and efficient manner . So I strongly feel that Mathematics should always be a must -read subject in school ....In fact it must be an integral part of school curriculum......So that children can avail the tool that would help them in grasping their subject of passion , much easily , in future .
