Welcome to the world of Mathematics .........A world of absolute fun and frolic dominated by logic and logic only............well its a conglomeration of the abstract , real , irrational , comlex intertwined with each other with building blocks that are just rational.......this world is not visible but it is present in every cell , every nook and corner of the real world we live in . Infact the entire Universe is built on it . Ever since the Big Bang and the formation of the universe ,Mathematics is silently and unassumingly playing one of the most amazing role that one can think of -- making the universe exist . Well , in laypersons terms ...How does the planets determine the total number of circles it need to make around the sun , what should be the apt. interplanetary distance to avoid biggg!!!! collisions , what velocity it has to maintain to keep moving , How many times should the heart pump to maintain balanced blood pressure ........the questions are uncountable......And the answer :MATHEMATICS . Well its all Mathematics....the astonishing and the magnificant Game of Numbers and Logic that is responsible for all these and millions of questions that come in our mind while we think of ourselves........But who is this invisible mathematician ? GOD .......No one knows ..............
Mathematics lie in the core of every science ......We all know that cells are the building blocks of life , atoms are the building blocks of substances and mathematics ? It is the super computer that runs the super program " UNIVERSE " .....Is in't it amazing that despite being such magnificantly powerful , it itself cannot be touched , heard or felt .....but its impact is enormous .....present everywhere yet nowhere .......thats the magical world of mathematics ......we all are intricately embedded in its matrix................and enjoying its marvels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lemme share a known secret with you all . Do you all know that there is no Nobel for Mathematics ......
Six Nobel Prizes are awarded each year, one in each of the following categories:
Physics
Chemistry
Economics
Peace
Literature
Medicine
Conspiciously absent from this list is an award for Mathematics. The reason for this strange omission has been subject of extensive speculations ........Reasons that are given since Mr Alfred Nobel , the famous Swedish Gentleman who created Nobel , are that he didn't care much for mathematics and he did not think of it as a science from which humanity could be benefitted (a chief purpose for creating the Nobel Foundation). Is it not ridiculous ????
In fact Mathematics can be regarded as the base of every other subjects of scientific study .......
I think it's high time for us to recognise the huge role that great mathematicians play in our lives , its time to give them the honor they deserve strongly .......lts time to insert a new category in Nobel .......Mathematics.
