Zero To The Power Of Anything Is Zero. Anything To The Zeroth Power Is One. So What Is Zero To The Zeroth

30th July 2020

🌿What would be your perfect summer day? 🌿

Wake up late,have a light breakfast,pack a good lunch and go to a nearby scenic water place with my family.My family includes my parents,my cousins,my uncles and aunts.Eat a ton of fruits,play a lot of games,make a truck load of memories and fall asleep on my mommy's shoulder in the car on the way back home.

Heya!!

So today I just revised the first four easy chapters of analysis 1 and then I started chapter 12 (Analysis 1).Chapter 12 is about tests for convergent series like the leibinz test for alternating series,comparison tests (there are two of them) and a lot more which I will be doing tomorrow.I am feeling very tired today.I didn’t even do much.I just had 2 hours of statistics exam and have been feeling tired ever since.Maybe I did not rest enough after the exam or maybe I just have to go and sleep now.

I did place an order for some multivitamin pills though.This is the first time I’ll be using the brand so let’s just see how that goes and apart from that I telephoned two of my school teachers.Here in India it’s guru Poornima (Basically Teacher’s Day according to the Hindu calendar) and it was lovely talking to them.I really do miss them a lot.I also put a sheet mask on in the evening hoping that it’ll make me feel better.It did but I’m still tired so I’m just gonna go sleep.

Aww look at you cutie reading everything hehe I hope your day went better^_^

See you tomorrow <3

Hello! If you don't mind can you tell me how you organised your journal for your academics.I am a maths major and I wanted to do that for my proofs as well.I did try searching on the internet but I didn't get anything good.

Thank You in advance xx

It was a really basic format honestly ! So these are all the journals I kept during my whole undergraduate degree.

The black ones were for course and module information, lecture notes, to do lists and essay plans.

The dark and light yellow were a reading journal and a dissertation journal. I wanted to separate my own impressions of texts and I wanted to keep all my dissertation research and planning in one separate place as obviously I was conducting it by myself.

Black Journals

At the start of every year I would write down all the essential information from each of the four modules I was taking. This is an example (I have whited out the name and email of my course convened and lecturer for privacy reasons). But it includes contact information, lecture and seminar hours and locations, learning outcomes and assessment criteria (the things you will be assessed on, obviously paying attention to these helped me get top grades), assessment information (how many essays or exams I had that year and how much they contributed to my final mark and how many words they were) and finally the primary reading list.

This is what a spread of my lecture notes looks like. I always hand wrote my lecture notes because I couldn’t retain information and didn’t enjoy using a laptop. In my first two years I used a rough notebook to write them down then wrote them up neatly later, which was too time consuming for third year. But by that time I had developed my note taking skills and felt confident writing them up as I listened in the lecture. I just wrote the name of the module and the text we were studying and the date for reference. I would change to a red pen for anything I felt was key information. I know most people won’t like this method but I write fast and quite neatly !

My to do lists, essay plans etc didn’t really have a format obviously. I just wrote down what I needed to do, did some rough mind mapping, occasionally put a little doodle in. My essay plans were sort of all over the place but this is where I did my essential planning and then rough work tended to be on scraps of paper or on the draft essay document. The first is a checklist at the end of the year and the second is one of the essay plans/brainstorms for an essay I got a first in.

Yellow Journals

(i.) Reading Journal

I kept a reading journal throughout university, which I wish I had used more. It’s literally just a brain dump of all my thoughts and impressions of what I was reading and any quotes I found relevant. I included secondary reading in this too in my final year. It’s something I’m going to carry on with because I love having somewhere to keep my stream of consciousness about literature. It was so helpful for me to read over this when I was writing my essays because there were some really insightful bits of analysis or key things that I had forgotten and needed reminding of. Highly recommend everyone doing this, if not on paper then on a document on your laptop !

(ii.) Dissertation Journal

There was very little method to this journal. But having it all in one place really kept me organised. It was a place of messy but very important brainstorming, figuring out and rough work. It’s the sort of thing that’s probably only coherent to me. I just wrote down what I needed to do as I went along. So in the early stages there was a lot of trial ideas, there was pages of information about how we should structure and deal with our dissertations from lectures, deadlines etc.

The first image is the first page where I started writing out some vague ideas about the topics I wanted my dissertation to address and which literature that worked with. The last two are just an example of what some of my working out looked like, how I was deciding to structure my argument, and which secondary materials and theorists I would use for each chapter. But there were all sorts of things in there, random tangential points and ideas I needed to note down, tips about how to write an effective dissertation etc. It ended up being my highest grade so this definitely worked for me !

223 Days, 50 assignments, 24 courses and 1 tiny room...

The Exam:

Joint Admission test for Masters (JAM) is a common admission test conducted every year for admission into M.Sc and other post-graduate science programs at Indian Institute of Technology (IITs), Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and National Institutes of Technology(NITs), organized by alternating institutes every year. 

The Contender :

A brave and a somewhat kind soul is trying to make a place for herself in this world.Managing bullies while trying to make new friends is proving to be a challenge.Having clumsy habits is not making her life any better.Self doubt is killing whatever is remaining and all she has left with is hope.Hope that she will get better and her life with it.She intends to do this by appearing for the IIT JAM Mathematics exam.An exam where 15,000 students compete for 500 seats in the best colleges around the country.

Will she make it? How far will she go? We can only wait. And wait. And wait…..

Theorem: Take a circle, the area of this circle is the same as area of a right triangle that has one leg equal to the radius and one leg equal to the circumference of the circle..

A long time ago in a faraway land people led simple lives by the means of agriculture. There was plenty of food to eat and to be merry. They had roofs on their head and fresh river water flowing nearby. Life seemed perfect but it was not. Every year when the rains 🌂 began, the river nearby would flood into the village and destroy their lands and homes. The people in the village would move to a nearby village for shelter with their cattle. When the rain stopped they used to come back and each time they came back they found their place in destruction. Their houses had to be rebuilt and their lands had to be outlined again. Fights were a common scene on how the outline was before the water washed it away. So the concept of the area came to maintain peace.

Finding areas of lands made with straight lines was easy but how to find the area of a land that is a curve ?

Firstly instead of taking a land made up of crazy curves let's take a land made up of the simplest curve, the circle.Draw a circle and fill in its area. Then divide it into large equal parts and arrange them in a rectangle.

It's not yet a perfect rectangle.So divide the circle in parts and try arranging these sections into a rectangle.You'll get a thing that starts looking like rectangle.

Now as you divide the circle more and more and try to arrange those parts you'll get a more nice rectangle. This more and more is nothing but the concept of limits in calculus.

So the area of the circle is the area of the rectangle.The area of the rectangle is Base×Height. Here the height of the rectangle is the radius of the circle and Base is equal to twice the area of the circle. So cut up the rectangle diagonally and you'll get a right-angled triangle with a Base as the radius of the circle and height as the circumference of a circle.

Q. What is your least favourite thing about the beach?

Probably getting sand in my hair lol

📚Currenly Reading : Men of Mathematics by E T Bell.

To Kill A Mocking Bird By Harper Lee

"Shoot all the blue jays you want,if you can hit'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mocking bird"

This book throws light on various topics like prejudice, racism, civil rights, gender roles, perception, integrity without discussing them explicitly yet showing us a way to comprehend all of the topics and their effects on society.

The events take place in Maycomb, Alabama around the 1930s. It is as seen through the eyes of Scott Finch, a young bright girl of 6, inquisitive and brave to say the least. The book has the power to connect with the reader at a deeper level and help change the perspective on how one sees the world and the people in it.

Heya! I finished chapter 12 of Analysis 1.It was I think the toughest chapter so far but it's not that tough that I'll loose my sleep over it.I also got the above book from Amazon today.The title is sexist but so is history 🤷🏻‍♀️I started from the last chapter and made some notes on it.I also revised chapter 8 today.Otherthan that it was a pretty chill day.I also answered an ask on Tumblr.I thought it was important to answer the question correctly and so I tried to the best of my ability 🐰

Now Nighty Nighty you guys

I hope you had a good day <3

I love nights because I can peacefully think about proofs without self made restrictions (To do lists and life)
