11. •He gave the following formulae :
Area of a cyclic quadrilateral with side
a, b, c, d= √(s -a)(s- b)(s -c)(s- d)
where 2s = a + b + c + d
Length of its diagonals =
12. This great mathematician died between 660 and 670.
He was one of the greatest mathematicians in
Indian history and his contributions to mathematics
and science have made major differences to various
mathematical problems by establishing the basic
rules which now allow us to find their solutions.
He was honored by the title given to him by a fellow
scientist ‘GanitaChakraChudamani’ which
Istranslated as ‘The gem of the circle of
mathematicians’.
13. Use the numerals 1, 9, 9 and 6 exactly
in that order to make the following
numbers: 28, 32, 35,38, 72, 73, 76, 77,
100 and 1000 You can use the
mathematical symbols +, -, ×, /, √, ^
(exponent symbol) and brackets.
Example: 63 = 1×9+9×6

15. •She was born in 1939
•In 1980, she gave the product of
two, thirteen digit numbers within
28 seconds, many countries have
invited her to demonstrate her
extraordinary talent.
16. •In Dallas she competed with a computer to see who give
the cube root of 188138517 faster, she won. At
university of USA she was asked to give the 23rd root of
91674867692003915809866092758538016248310668

129132845564895780158806771. She answered in
50seconds. The answer is 546372891. It took a UNIVAC
1108 computer, full one minute (10 seconds more) to
confirm that she was right after it was fed with 13000
instructions.
•Now she is known to be Human Computer.
17. How can I get the answer 24 by
only using the numbers 8,8,3,3.
You can use add, subtract,
multiply, divide, and parentheses.
Bonus rules: also allowed are
logarithms, factorials and roots
18.
19. He was born in a village of Mysore district.
He was the first to give that any number divided
by 0 gives infinity (00).
He has written a lot about zero, surds,
permutation and combination.
He wrote, “The hundredth part of the
circumference of a circle seems to be straight.
Our earth is a big sphere and that’s why it
appears to be flat.”
He gave the formulae like sin(A ± B) = sinA.cosB
± cosA.sinB

Therefore, one can conclude with
mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will
get you close, and Attitude will get
you there,
It's the Love of God /Faith that will
put you over the top!
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
WHAT EQUALS TO 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

25. •He was born on 22na of December 1887 in a
small village of Tanjore district, Madras. He
failed in English inIntermediate, so his
formal studies
were stopped but his self-study of
mathematics continued.
•He sent a set of 120 theorems to Professor
Hardy of Cambridge. As a result he invited
Ramanujan to England.
•Ramanujan showed that any big number
can be written as sum of not more than four
primenumbers.He showed that how to
divide the
number into two or more squares or cubes.
26. •when Mr Litlewood came to see Ramanujan in
taxi number 1729, Ramanujan said that 1729 is
the smallest number which can be written in the
form of sum of cubes of two numbers in two
ways, i.e. 1729 = 93 + 103 = 13 + 123 since then
the number 1729 is called Ramanujan’s number.
•In the third century B.C, Archimedes noted that
the ratio of circumference of a circle to its
diameter is constant. The ratio is now called
‘pi ( Π )’ (the 16th letter in the Greek alphabet
series)
•The largest numbers the Greeks and the Romans
used were 106 whereas Hindus used numbers as
big as 1053 with specific names as early as 5000
B.C. during the Vedic period.

28. Satyendra Nath Bose was a Bengali physicist, who
specialized in mathematical physics. He was born in
Kolkata in 1884.
He was a bright student right from the young age
and once in high school Bose was awarded 110
marks out of 100 in mathematics because he had
solved some problems by more than one method.
His interests ranged in various fields that included
physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology,
mineralogy, philosophy, arts, literature and music.
He was also well versed in Bengali, English, French,
German and Sanskrit.
29. Bose, who worked in Kolkata and Dhaka, was a
contemporary of Albert Einstein.
In 1924, he sent a paper to Einstein describing a
statistical model that eventually led to the discovery
of what came to be known as the Bose-Einstein
condensate phenomenon.
He was awarded Padma Vibhushan by Government
of India in 1954. Recently, scientists at Europe’s CERN
Research Centre have found a new subatomic particle
that could be the Higgs Boson, the basic building block
of the universe.
The word Boson owes its name to Bose’s pioneering
work in particle physics. He died in 1974.

31. Narendra Karmarkar was born in a Marathi family
of Gwalior in 1957.
He received his B. Tech in Electrical Engineering
from IIT Bombay and finished his postgraduation
and Ph.D. in USA.
He is known for his invention of a polynomial
algorithm for linear programming also known as the
interior point method.
This algorithm became a cornerstone in the field
of Linear Programming.
32. He was awarded the prestigious Paris Kanellakis
Award in 2000 for his work on polynomial time
interior point methods for linear programming.
His algorithm is otherwise known as Karmarkar’s
algorithm. He received National Science Talent
Award in Mathematics in India in 1972.

astronomer. He was born in Bijapur in modern
Karnataka.
