MONTHLY REVIEW FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER:
The club was first formed on the 1st of October 2007. In the first meeting, the committee members of the club were elected. The mentors proposed the objectives of the club. Problems were solved to improve communication-using mathematics.
The second club meeting in the month of October fell on the 17th. The club members actively participated in a game of sudoko, suggested by mentor Prof. Sundhareswaran.
31st of October 2007 brought about the last club meeting for the month. Rev. Dr. Mathew took a lecture to prove the infinity of primes. Members were also advised to read books like Matters Mathematical by I.N. Herstein and I.K. Kaplan sky and Elements by Euclid.
MONTHLY REVIEW FOR NOVEMBER:
The first club meeting in Nov fell on the 7th. Prof. Sundereswaran guided a discussion on the applicability of mathematics in our day-to-day lives. The discussion consisted of Marginal Concepts and Optimization techniques using Product Mix Analysis.
On 21st Nov, 2 groups were initiated to bring forward a planned activity in the next club meeting. Fr. Mathew discussed with the class the PRINCIPLE OF CONTINUITY, which states that suppose a line belongs entirely to a figure, which is divided into 2 parts, then if the line has at least 1 point common to each part, it must meet the boundary between the parts. The term UNIT FRACTION was also discussed. It is the ancient Egyptian idea that a unit fraction is a fraction that has its numerator 1 and it's denominator is any other integer.
PUZZLE:
A shepherd had 17 sheep. He divided them among his 3 sons. 1st son got (1/2) of the sheep, 2nd son got (1/3) of the sheep and the 3rd son got (1/9) of the sheep. How was his flock divided among his sons?
Solution:
Borrow one more sheep.
Therefore total = 18 sheep
1st son = (1/2) * 18 = 9
2nd son = (1/3) * 18 = 6
3rd son = (1/9) * 18 = 2
Therefore we get 1 sheep extra…. give that back to the person from whom we borrowed the sheep.
MONTHLY REVIEW FOR FEBRUARY 2008:
The first club meeting for 2008 was on Feb 6th.Group members Ashitha Martin and Bency Sebastian put forward a question to the class.
QUESTION: There are totally 50 students. In an arts competition of dance, song and science exhibition, and 30 wants to take part in dance, 25 for song and 32 for science.
Out of which 15 takes part in both song and dance and 11 takes part in both song and science and 18 in both science and dance.
1) How many are there in all 3 activities?
2) How many are there in only 1 item?
Solution:
1)
Let x be the no. of students taking part in all 3 activities
50 = 30 + 25 + 32 - [15 + 11 + 18 -x]
Therefore x = 7
2)
No. of students who took part in only dance = 30 - [8 + 7 + 11] = 4
3)
No. of students who took part in only song
= 25-[8+7+4] = 6
4)
No. of students who took part only in science exhibition
= 32 - [11 + 7 +4] = 10
