Most high school students are afraid of math lessons wondering whether they can ever use the acquired knowledge in the real life. Today, when so many calculations are carried out by computers, algebra and geometry find good realization in 3D graphics industry. And if you still don’t know how why math is so useful for 3D graphics, this article is for you. (more…)
When you get too complicated homework, who do you blame? When you fail a test who is the first person you get mad at? When you don’t have free time on your weekend, what is the main object of your hatred? Yeap, poor teacher, nobody else. But are all the teachers really responsible for your bad mood and spoilt rest? (more…)
Computer simulations play an important role in many scientific and engineering problems. Depending on the given tasks, different methods are used: someone needs to solve complicated systems of equations which cannot be solved analytically, other perform numerous computations to get enough statistics without real-life experiments. The first mentioned group of tasks is often related to calculations on electric and electronic devices while the latter is often related to the statistics problems (a lot of problems in economy, thermodynamics, etc.). In this article, we discuss an example of how a simple analysis can be performed by the accumulation of the enough number of random events. (more…)
Each of us at least a few times per week uses a smart card in transport, a typical power door locker or, so-called, transponder, for an office door or a car. These devices can be considered an essence of the era of radio technologies. Let us speak how they work and where the corresponding technology is used also. (more…)
Your college year has just started, but you already question yourself about how to do all that creepy stuff in math, programming, biology, management or whatever? Well, sad news but with every passing day there comes even more homework. So how to deal with it? Should every task be done or you can lay back and forget about some of them? Let’s see. (more…)
Gambling was the main reason for the emergence and development of the probability theory. Like any other mathematical theory, it sets its own laws. It seems strange indeed that any case may be regulated. Consequently, knowing the rules, can we win a random game? Let’s see. (more…)
Hey, the great day is coming and the studying is about to start. Don’t worry about the summer now (you’ll have more of them later), worry about your first day at college. Or, probably, you better should not because everyone around you is also worried. You must have heard a lot of advices on how not to fail that, so let’s summarize them and add more useful tips to get lucky. (more…)
