1. State the cosine rule for the given spherical triangle.

Ans:

ANsA

2.

"Prince of Mathematics," exhibited his calculative powers when he corrected his father's arithmetic before the age of three. His revolutionary nature was demonstrated at age twelve, when he began questioning the axioms of Euclid. His genius was confirmed at the age of nineteen when he proved that the regular n-gon was constructible, for odd n, if and only if n is the product of distinct prime Fermat numbers. At age 24 he published Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, probably the greatest book of pure mathematics ever.

Ans

Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855)

3.A famous inequality in mathematics is the basis for Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, name it. Ans. Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality 4. The Roman surface (so called because Jakob Steiner was in Rome when he
thought of it) is a self-intersecting mapping of the real projective plane into threedimensional space, with an unusually high degree ofsymmetry. This mapping is not an immersion of the projective plane; however the figure resulting from removing six singular points is one.

The simplest construction is as the image of a sphere centered at the origin under the map f(x,y,z) = (yz,xz,xy). This gives an implicit formula of

5. A

book An Investigation of the Laws of Thought prompted Bertrand Russell to label this mathematician as the "discoverer of pure mathematics." Who is he? George Boole (1815-1864)

6.Because of its fast convergence, an odd-looking formula of Ramanujan is

often used to calculate : 992 / = 8 k=0, (4k! (1103+26390 k) / (k!4 3964k))

. The first few are 1, 5, 12, 22, 35, 51, 70, ... . The generating function for the numbers is

7. Number of the form

What are these numbers called? Ans .Pentagonal numbers

8. Let S be a nonempty set, then a FILTER on S is a nonempty collection F of subsets of S having the following properties: 1. 2. If 3. If , , then and , then

9. Given the generating functions defined by

then,

Name the identity. Ans. Ramanujan's Sum Identity

10.A goemetric element L defined in Euclidean space form

as a subset of the

where a and b are given vectors in Rn with b non-zero. What is this element?
Ans. Line

11.for a rapid one Q. a point (2,5) is on the graph y=f(x) , to which function does the point (2,1) blong to a) y=f(x-4)

b)y=f(4x) c)y=f(x)-4 d)y=4f(x) 12. I remember once going to see him when he was ill at Putney. I had ridden in taxi cab number 1729 and remarked that the number seemed to me rather a dull one, and that I hoped it was not an unfavorable omen. "No," he replied, "it is a very interesting number; it is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways." Who is the speaker? Who is he speaking about? Ans. G. H. Hardy talking about Srinivasa Ramanujan 13. A mathematical constant which is the unique real solution of the cubic equation. name it Ans. Plastic constant 14.

15.state Descartes rule of signs. The rule states that if the terms of a single-variable polynomial with real coefficients are ordered by descending variable exponent, then the number of positive roots of the polynomial is either equal to the number of sign differences between consecutive nonzero coefficients, or is less than it by a multiple of 2. Multiple roots of the same value are counted separately.
