3. What is called
a solidus if written as a diagonal line
or
a vinculum if written as a horizontal line
or
an obelus for a horizontal line with 2 dots?
9. In 2014 four people were awarded x .
1. Artur Avila - "for his profound contributions to dynamical systems theory, which
have changed the face of the field, using the powerful idea of renormalization as
a unifying principle.“
2. Y - "for developing powerful new methods in the geometry of numbers, which he
applied to count rings of small rank and to bound the average rank of elliptic
curves.“
3. Martin Hairer - "for his outstanding contributions to the theory of stochastic
partial differential equations, and in particular for the creation of a theory of
regularity structures for such equations.“
4. Maryam Mirzakhani – “for her outstanding contributions to the dynamics and
geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces.“
I.d X & Y
12. X is a rectangular array of elements
(numbers, symbols, or expressions)
arranged in rows and columns, that is
interpreted and manipulated in certain
prescribed ways.
I.d X
15. X remained the definitive textbook on geometry
and mathematics for well over two millennia,
surviving the eclipse in classical learning in
Europe during the Dark Ages through Arabic
translations. It set, for all time, the model for
mathematical argument, following logical
deductions from initial assumptions (which the
author , Y, called “axioms” and "postulates") in
order to establish proven theorems. • I.d X & Y
18. Despite his important contributions to pure
mathematics, he is probably best
remembered for the anecdotal story of his
discovery of a method for determining the
volume of an object with an irregular shape.
“An object immersed in a fluid is buoyed up
by a force equal to the weight of the fluid
displaced by the object”.
Who?
21. When G.H Hardy was asked in an interview
that which discovery was his most useful
discovery and that he is proud of, he is
known to have unhesitatingly responded:
“the discovery of _____________”. Fill

48. X is an inventive genius whose expertise in the fields
of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer science rivals that
of Reed Richards, Hank Pym, and Bruce Banner, and his expertise
in electrical engineering and mechanical engineering surpasses even
theirs. He is regarded as one of the most intelligent characters in the
Marvel Universe. He graduated with advanced degrees in physics and
engineering at the age of 17 from Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) and further developed his knowledge ranging
from artificial intelligence to quantum mechanics as time progressed.
Id X and his persona.
91. • X developed new ideas in linear algebra (e.g., the first printed proof
of the Kronecker-Capelli theorem), probability, and the study of
elections (e.g., X 's method) and committees; some of this work was
not published until well after his death.
92. • X worked primarily in the fields of geometry, linear and matrix
algebra, mathematical logic, and recreational mathematics, producing
nearly a dozen books under his real name but his pen name, which he
used when writing, especially children’s books was most famous.
93. • X is the author of books like Alice in Wonderland, Through the
Looking glass etc…… and his real name was Charles Lutwidge
Dodgson.
97. • In mathematics, two quantities are in the X, if their ratio is the same
as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities. X has also
been used to analyse the proportions of natural objects as well as
man-made systems such as financial markets and is prevalent in
architecture, paintings and even in nature.
98. Mathematicians since Euclid have studied the properties of X ,
including its appearance in the dimensions of a regular pentagon and in
a golden rectangle, which may be cut into a square and a smaller
rectangle with the same aspect ratio.
99.
100.
101. • This level of variability suggests that the X isn’t exceptionally rigid,
which sucks some of the magic out of the notion that Rob Janoff has
ruthlessly machined this perfect shape.
102. • The simplest place to start anchoring the measures are the circles as
the diameter runs from one point in the shape to another which
makes it simple to create a circle of that precise size. X is also believed
to be created using the Golden Ratio.
106. An angle of 45 degree is regarded to be the best for launching X’s as
the projectiles cover the maximum distance.
107. • X involves principles of Vector mathematics, Co-ordinate geometry,
projectile motion and uses them to launch certain projectiles to a
certain distance. X is insanely popular and turned their creators into
overnight successes.
108. • X actually helps your instruction by outlining the X’s with dots that are
placed at the same time interval, as well as leaving these trajectory
paths visible for the next turn. This allows for an overlap and visual
comparison of X trajectories that have different initial angles and
velocities. The goal here is to try and knock down the structures and
take out the Y’s, who were depicted as they were infamous at that
time.
Penrose is known for his work in mathematical physics, in particular for his contributions to general relativity and cosmology. He has received several prizes and awards, including the 1988 Wolf Prize for physics, which he shared with Stephen Hawking for their contribution to our understanding of the universe. He is the Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at the Mathematical Institute of the University of Oxford
