style="float:right;clear:right;height:15px;width:0px"></div><div style="float:left;clear:left;height:15px;width:0px"></div><div style="float:right;clear:right;height:15px;width:0px"></div><div style="float:left;clear:left;height:15px;width:0px"></div><div style="float:right;clear:right;height:15px;width:0px"></div><div style="float:left;clear:left;height:15px;width:0px"></div><div style="float:right;clear:right;height:15px;width:0px"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;">The trouble with Mathematics is - we first learn the formulae and then the application.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The education system is such that we treat these two aspects - theory and application as separate entities when they should be going hand in hand.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">For instance, when we learn complex numbers in our +2 course, its applications are not apparent till our electrical course in 1st year.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In such cases, one has to look for simpler applications.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">1. Multiplication by iota</span></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I can very well recall how our Mathematics teacher in class was well known for his PJs (poor jokes).<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Some, though were quiet useful!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Once, while a student had turned to gossip with the fellow behind him, our Maths teacher quipped, "Ashish, please multiply yourself by iota squared."<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">[Whenever a complex number is multiplied by iota, it is rotated anticlockwise by 90<sup>o</sup>. Hence, multiplying it by iota squared would rotate it by 180<sup>o</sup>]<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">2. The Exponential Function</span></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Unfortunately for Ashish, he had to bear the brunt of most of the PJs as he was quiet irregular to class.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Once, while Ashish was giving some lame excuse for remaining absent from class, our Maths teacher remarked, "You are like the exponential function. Whether you differentiate it or integrate it doesn't really matter. It never changes."<br />
