"The Invisible Hand: How Mathematics Shapes the Banking World"      Mathematics forms the foundation upon which the banking system operates. It is present in every transaction, policy, and decision made by financial institutions. Yet, for many, its presence is invisible, blending seamlessly into the processes we interact with daily. Banks rely on mathematical principles not only for basic tasks like computing interest but also for complex decisions like managing risks, forecasting market trends, and maintaining economic stability. Mathematics provides the tools necessary for accuracy and efficiency, enabling banks to thrive in an increasingly competitive and dynamic global economy.      Interest rates serve as the most visible application of mathematics in banking. When a customer deposits money in a savings account or takes out a loan, mathematics ensures that the returns or payments are calculated fairly and accurately. Compound interest, for example, is ...

  "Chalk Dust and Milestones: My Transformative Journey as a Maths Teacher"             The three months I spent as a Mathematics teacher at MSHSS Ranni were nothing short of life-changing. Guided by the ever-supportive Ms. Anu George, a dedicated and passionate Mathematics teacher, I stepped into this internship with a mix of excitement and apprehension. Assigned to teach the bright young minds of classes 8A and 8C, my journey was filled with moments of learning, inspiration, and growth—both for my students and me. From the very first day, I could sense the diversity in my students' characters. Each child brought their own unique personality into the classroom, making every interaction an enriching experience. While some students were confident and curious, others were reserved and hesitant. Yet, as days turned into weeks, I began to see the common thread that bound them all—their eagerness to be understood and supported...

TRIGONOMETRY

TRIGONOMETRY Trigonometry is one of the most important branches of mathematics that deals with the relationship between the ratios of the sides of a right-angled triangle with its angles. The ratios used to study this relationship are trigonometric ratios: sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant. The word trigonometry is a 16th-century Latin derivative and the concept was given by the Greek mathematician Hipparchus.   INTRODUCTION TO TRIGONOMETRY The word trigonometry is formed by clubbing words ‘Trigonon’ and ‘Metron’ which mean triangle and measure respectively. It is the study of the relation between the sides and angles of the right-angled triangle. It thus helps in finding the measure of unknown dimensions of the right-angled triangle using formulas and identities based on this relationship. TRIGONOMETRY BASICS Trigonometry basics deal with the measurement of angles and problems related to angles. These are three basic functions in trigonometry: sine, cosine and...
