mathematics

today as i was showing a friend about analysing data and so on...i somehow realise how much i missed being a student of mathematics...those days were really fun... i donno y but in the univesity where i did my first degree people usually thought maths majors are brainy or nerds...and people are always amazed about someone majoring in mathematics...the truth is there is nothing so great or 'brainy' it...it is a wonderful field just like any other fields of this study...has some very interesting courses and some very very boring ones...and of course to make things worse some very boring lecturer...but other than that is it quite fun...many many people think that mathematics is just about arithmetics...plus, minus, multiply...but the truth is there is more to that...we used to have fun learning logic using sherlock holmes mysteries...and sometimes even alice in wonderland...i was really really amazed when we learned about the beauty of mathematics and to see mathematical concept used in daily lives...like 'kolam' and the concept of symetry...the concept of golden ratio and how much it is found in this world...there is one more that i really liked...when we studying the history of mathematics...all of us did a play or puppet show about famous mathematician etc...that was really fun...now i am in a different field but somehow my love for mathematics is still there...may be some day i might go back to that...next semester i will be teaching statistics to undergraduate students...i wonder where that will take me...anyway one of our silliest quote being the class of 97 was: " love does not know mathematics..."
