Belur Math Howrah_Kolkata_West Bengal_India...
(BelÅ«r Maá¹h or Belur Mutt is the headquarters of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission, founded by Swami Vivekananda, a chief disciple of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. It is located on the west bank of Hooghly River, Belur, West Bengal, India and is one of the significant institutions in Calcutta. This temple is the heart of the Ramakrishna Movement. The temple is notable for its architecture that fuses Hindu, Christian and Islamic motifs as a symbol of unity of all religions.)
We all wake up now and then from a deep sleep, with a troubling math question that has just popped into our heads. Here's one:
In space, objects A and B are orbiting a common point. Object A is radius r from the center. Object B is at 2r from the central point. At time zero, A and B form a line with the center of the circle. A and B are traveling at the same velocity. At time zero + x, are we always able to calculate the distance between A' and B'? (This scenario doesn't need to involve space. It could involve two ants, walking around in circles on a piece of paper, etc.)
More than 30 elementary students in kindergarten through second grade recently explored math through art, physical activity and music as part of BU’s annual Math Camp, which also helped participating education majors learn fundamental themes for math learners.
It’s a collaborative benefit, according to Frank D’Angelo, assistant professor of early childhood and adolescent education, who says through the math camp BU’s education program is helping local elementary students get ready for the new school year. bloomu.edu/news-math-camp
