Statistics is that part of Mathematics which deals with integration, organisation, display, interpretation and presentation of data. The main goal is to identify trends. The data need not necessarily be numerical. Statistics helps us in recognising a pattern. That is , by interpreting old data one can figure out a pattern. Businesses analyze this data...

Mathematical Puzzles
We have seen Mathematics corroborating itself as the queen of sciences. Besides being a necessitous component of the scientific method of data collection and observation, says Galileo, it is also the language in which the Natural Physical World is written. From initially being recognized just as a system of numbers, the growth of Mathematics has... Continue Reading →
BRAINEMATICS
Every second these spikes are detected more than 100 billion times in your brain. These spikes represent sudden electrical impulses, shot through one brain cell on its way to the next. Spikes are the currency of information and they drive everything we think and do. Unravelling how neurons spike is a crown jewel of twentieth... Continue Reading →
