Mathematics !!! Problematics!!! [part 1]

Hello there,

This is the post on my Wondeful Mathematics Knowledge infact Maths Tragedies...

If i think about my nursery days i dont remember anything of my maths, but my memories are still with me about my 2nd std. When i was in Second Standard in "Sarvodaya School" , Mr.Satyanarana Sir used to teach Maths.

Addition was easy task for me, as i can use 20 of my fingers to do that task, Sometimes if i have to go beyond that.. my "slate" used to help me. Even "Subtraction" was easy but i bunked one or 2 classess during that time so missed "the borrow carry method or carry borrow method" so from that time my "Tragedy about Maths" started .. If any number is bigger and the if i have to subtract from that a smaller number.. it was easy task for me .. if a number is smaller and if i have to subtract a bigger number [ where we borrow one from neighbour] .. there lies the jack.. I used to go for infinite loop for five mins after that ... i used to subtact "ulta" that is .. from the bigger number i used to subtract the smaller and keep the result...

If you are confused .. here is my way of subtraction without borrowing carry ... My Invention

So after that one day my father detected this mistake and he thought me how to do this in his own unique way.. which i thik for the first time i used my imaginative brain to do such task [ thanks daddy to invoke my brain]

After that .. till 10th std i never had any problems. but still all the maths exams used to bring some kind of fear in me.. my tendency to commit silly mistake was really high... so eventhough after struggling i used to get some 80 marks ...

But real tragedy started when i came to I.P.U.C for a person who thought maths is only add,subtract,multiply,divide.. numerous other things started irritating me like Trigonometry[WTF] and Differentiation [ God knows what i used to when they used to teach me this] .But i managed to pass the exams with bit of algebra and arithmatic[my favorite among the worst options] . I dont know .. first of all i used to think i am poor in Maths.. but I.P.U.C maths made me to think .. I am bankrupt.

Second P.U.C [ a deciding factor of my future] went on well except Differentiation and Integration. whenever i see Integration symbol i used to think why these ppl write that creature on board. I used to sleep in almost all classess as i used to go to tution thinking that i will listen there. But in tution i used to think i can learn in college. Somehow i needed a reason to skip reading maths.

In second P.U.C because of Mathematics i lost marks i got 68 out of which i lost some 10 to 12 marks for silly mistakes.

Square root of 4+4+1= square root of9 = 3
but i calculated 4+4+1=square root of 17 = god knows how i used my logarithm to find the square root of 17 .

In one more question also i multiplied when it was addition... i brought back the xerox of my maths paper [ its still lying in shimoga in my room cupboard ] will scan and publish here some times.

The Enginerring mathematics things.. wil tell in the next part till that time enjoy.

No Josh After 4th Sem!!!

Hi All,


I have lost my josh long ago..... Yes its true . I think it was 4 th semester . i got 80.3% in that exam , after that i lost interest in making high scores, i dont know why......

Basically i am from Shimoga. I did my schooling , college[PU] in shimoga, but for Engineering came to Bangalore. Once i came to Bangalore , New City , New Challenge, New Life and New Goals,

My student life was almost dead when i was in 11th and 12th std, Just for the sake i read, after 10th, my dad bought a comp which [ i thought at that screwed my college life] became my life after that.

I still remember .. in those days i used to sleep in college and use to wake up whole night and browse net on 3 kbps line and try to learn VB and try to install new softwares daily.

I was a good student till 10th!!!!! Suddenly because of Comp i lost interest in everything and always used to enjoy with Comp. I still remember i prayed god 101 times to "pass this poor guy" in 11th Final Exams.

I got 554/625 in 10th for which our college gave 1000Rs Award and an hounour from D.C of shimoga. I received it when i was in 11th std. and the next day i got my mid term exam results . I failed in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics .. i got 23,23,21 out of 50 respectively.

My father was astonished by seeing my Marks. I never thought i will ever come up in my life after that disaster. I almost became a "DADDA"[in kannada] means poor candidate. All my friends relatives even my close friend Sumanth asked what happend to me suddenly ...

I used to beg my brotherthe day before exams to teach Mathematics.... I used to ask him crying "Please help me in this .. i will b greatful to you throught my life.... just day before my final exam of 11th Mathematics... I read " Sine square thetha + cos square thetha =1" ... I passed only because of Algebra and Logic chapter.

After that some how i managed to clear my exams.. and in 2nd P.U.C everything went well except Differentiation and integration. which i could not finish even after my final exams .. as a result i got 9988 Rank.

After that i got seat in NMIT. then once i came to Bangalore i mentally changed my self... because ..i knew that no one knows my history so i can once again Rock. Unfortunately Mathematics followed me like a devil uptil my 4th sem.

But i dont know there came a change in myself . Confidence ... And the freedom in college to ask questions whenever i want... etc made me a New Seena .
as a result i scored wonderfully till 4th sem.. Now still i cant believe that i got distinction in 6 sems and having Job in my hand....

It was my dream to get 80 % from the day when i missed that score in 1st sem.... so the josh came after that sem.. i used to work hard.. even luck was there .. so i reached my dream of 80 % in 4 th sem.. so after that its alll history.,... we finished exams one by one cursing VTU for the pattern change and We came out of College and after struggling for 2 months i got into EMUZED and now i am working in EMUZED from past 8 months.

I got
1st Sem - 76.91
2nd Sem - 76.7
3rd Sem - 72.8
4th Sem - 80.3

so because of Maths , Som and Maths respectively i lost distinction in 1st 2nd and 3rd sems respectively. but 4th Sem was wonderful. After that i felt as if my goal is reached and i dont have to bother ....

After that i tried many times to get back the josh... I only faced dull moments......

But In Nitte i really enjoyed the time... some times i feel i wasted most of the time.. but whatever...... i really learnt about Life and got my rhytham back.. Lost Josh...... many things happend...

Tomorrow i will write about my dister in Mathematics....from 1st PUC till 4th Sem

thats all for the day....

Bye

Benche Benche Dinavella Benche!!!

Hi All,

Title explains my position. Let me explain, If you are not from software background u might wonder what bench is!!!

Actually in software field if you dont have any job or if you are not assigned a job and you are waiting for next job .. then you are officially called "ON BENCH" candidate!!! sounds strange.

So my position is "ON BENCH". From past 2 weeks i dont have anything to do and i am waiting for a job or a project .

Once you get addicted to work and suddenly if you are put on to Bench , the experience is really worst.

Its already 8 months since i joined EMUZED and i was having job till last month. After that i am not assigned a job.

I usually dont like sitting idle. either i will b reading something or listening to music or some movie. But here in office i have to daily come and sit infront of computer and wait till evening and get lost.

I really hate this situation of mine. But cant do anything .. for this job i am getting paid in Thousands.

I heard in many companies ppl sit on BENCH for 6 months or so..... So if i think from their point of view i am happy its just only 2 weeks right..

Anyways ..... The wonderful activites which i do on bench are
1.Check Mails
2.Listen to music
3.Browse net
4. Read some document

But whatever u do .. u cant spend all the time doing above mentioned activities.. You get frustrated . Its easy to sit in home and spend time. but in Company you cant sit idle infront of comp. But no other go.... you have to ............

Hopefully... i pray god to take me out of this BENCH....................

Srini

ps : [ its been a long time ... so could not express my things properly ]

If at all you have any suggessions on spending time on BENCH please mail me .....
