10 Math Facts

Mathematics is called the mother of all subjects. It surely is because its use is wide and not limited to just few subjects. Mathematics is the only subject which touches almost every aspect which a human brain can think. It is not only a practical subject but also an art subject. It is not only related to science but also associated with the mystery. It is not only logical but also is used in explaining one of the most illogical theories. Hence the scope of mathematics is beyond the ordinary understanding.

1. The mother of all subjects

Math is called mother of all subjects because in every subject, math is included in one way or another. Math even makes base for some subjects. The simple multiplication and subtraction functions are not limited to basic mathematics only. They are even needed in biology and fine arts.

2. Multiple methods to solve

The amazing thing with mathematics is that one problem can be solved in many different ways. It is not limited to one solution only. From simple to complex questions there are many ways to get the solution. Some of these methods are told while some are not.

3. Googol and Googolplex

There are few nmbers which are given certain names and values. Googol is one such number it is 10^100 a huge number, a number bigger than googol is called Googolplex and it is 10^ Googol.

4. Undefined

There are some problems that result in some undefined answers. They are called undefined because there are no rules of mathematics or physics that can explain them.

5. Infinity

Yes, there is even infinity in mathematics. Infinity is defined as 1 divided by zero. Many students confuse themselves when they are asked to defined 1 divided by zero, they simple call it zero, but it’s not true. Anything that is divided by zero becomes infinity in mathematics.

6. Infinity is not undefined

Yes, infinity is not undefined as it is considered. It is simply a value that cannot be measured. It could be either too long or two small. It could be positive or negative.

7. The order and reverse order

There is a unique and interesting multiplication that results in the order and the reverse order of the nine basic numbers.

111 111 111 * 111 111 111= 123456789 987654321

8. Pie

Pie is the number that cannot be written down into fraction. Its value is pre defined and is 3.14159. The billionth digit of pie is 9.

9. Exact reverse in multiplication

There are few number that give the exact reverse of the same number when multiplies with some other number. One example is:

1089 * 9 = 9801

10. Largest prime number

The largest prime number is 9,808,258 digits long, more than the number of atoms in this universe.
