Pick your odd one

by Huma Sattar

The last time I wrote a post, I promised my readers (real and imaginary both) that I would tell them just why I became a mathematics major but I realized, that kind of a thing can NOT be covered in a single post. I have however decided to postpone it a teeny bit, much to the chagrin of my less-procastinating-conscience.

But if someone’s listening, here is a little ‘Pick the odd one out’- it should be interesting.

Incase someone here is going to point out that this is not math; it is. Puzzles, logic, critical reasoning and on to the big words: decision analysis, game theory, optimization, constrained optimization, it is all math. It is still math if you are not computing anything or using a formula. It is still math if you are drawing lines and dots and joining them together (Ever heard of graph theory)… so yes. *insert self-important smirk here* While you solve this puzzle, I will sit down to make good on my promise.

Solve your derivative here

by Huma Sattar

Before you can even start counting down!

The first in the series of my ‘mathematical’ musings is this wonderful widget which helps you solve a derivative, any derivative, to any degree. Just type in your problem and get going. You can also view the complete solution. All credits to Wolfram Research
