[Mathematical Proof] Girls Are Evil

Now I am showing this in the name of fun.

Girls take no offence ;-).

This example illustrates the use of equation, squaring, taking squaring roots and the interpretation of English to Mathematics. All important components of Mathematics.

Hope you have fun.

Linear Law,Just 1 Strategy Makes A Grade Difference

What is Linear Law?

It is a tool which will allow you to transform non-straight line equation to straight line equation so that you can plot a straight line. Most of the time, the axis will consist of x and/or y

One of the techniques involving taking lg (log base 10) on both sides of the given equation.

Common Mistake! STOP
y=Ax^b=>lgy=blgAx=>blgA+blgx

This is one of the common mistakes I have highlighted in Top 7 Commonly Made Mistakes in Logarithm

How To Counter This Mistake

Very simple. Just add in a bracket on the right hand side of the equation.
y=(Ax^b)<br>  =>lgy=lg(Ax^b)<br>  => lgy=lgA+lgx^b<br>  => lgy=lgA+blgx<br>

Now, your y-axis will be lg y and x-axis will be lg x. Gradient = b and y-intercept = lg A

I Am Really Excited About This Online MindMap Tool!

When I first chanced upon it, I was absolutely blown away!

When I used it, I was totally amazed!

MindMapping has been a tool which I used it often and encourage students and everyone else to use it for getting ideas, organizing thoughts, planning… basically everything. I read quite a number of books on mindmapping published by renowned authors like Tony Buzan and a list of other in this field.

One of the stopping factors which used to stop me from creating my mindmaps was that I cannot draw. Students who have seen my “drawing” know that I am best at drawing lines and curves. My drawing subjects usually involved less than 5 lines/curves. LOL. I know.

When I saw this online mindmap, it is totally a gift from universal for me. I strongly everyone is used it. There’s a free trial for 30 days for you to evaluate if this is the tool for you.

Online Mindmap Tool!

By the way, I do not recommend anything unless I have personally used and tested it to be effective.
