Numbers are a fascination for everyone, whether Science Literate(some times Educated too :D), Engineers, Chartered Accountants, Businessmen, and the "aam-junta" to be precise. Many of us flaunt this idea with pride hidden in a guilt, that Mathematics is not their cup of tea. I have seen Science students and Engineers running away from Maths most of the time. There is a sense of unrest when it comes to Mathematics, especially the cryptic language of "NUMBERS"! What are numbers anyway? Why do we hate them? What is the intrigue behind numbers? Well, I would have explained bit by bit, but I decided to make a collage of my know-how about numbers.
* For those who are not technically inclined but prefer reading articles, novels, literature etc anything that is not Pure Science per se, here is the quick
link
* For those with the inclination of knowing the aspects behind aspects(like me :P), here is a quick reference
* For those with entertainment as a sole purpose in life and / or learning by multimedia, you can download few episodes of detective / crime-bursting serial called Numbers to understand how Mathematics is used to do so!
* For those who went through above links and have patience or curiosity to know more, here is some hardcore technical stuff
* And this is for those who are crazy in discovering patterns like me, like there is something called
Cylic Numbers
There is no language better than Mathematics and Numbers are just a representation in a form for certain expressions like we use alphabets. The whole world is in just 10 digits(0 to 9) but still we prefer the permutation and combination of 26 alphabets and learn words and sentences easily. I find this very strange! Mathematics and especially numbers are comprehensive in a complex manner but not comprehend able in a simple manner. Perhaps that has something to do with our cognitive capability. A quick search gave me the following links Brain & Math!But we do scratch our head, perhaps the left side since left hemisphere is what governs Mathematical Cognition. But it is enough to say that, numbers are part of our lives whether we realize it exhaustively or not. How? Money of course!r than Money which is exclusive communicaiton in any language, understood by even a kid who knows the business of trade. Strangely at some point of time, after the barter system money became a means of exchange on the scale of numbers of course.
