Getting back to blogging

After a pause of some two plus years, I’m inspired back into writing on this blog The Cosmic Landscape in Quantum Décor. The time sort of demands that the scientific outreach should be in some ways about things connected to the pandemic: the disease physiology; the viral mechanism; the long- & short-term impacts; the future projections; the cure development; the last, but not the least, the vaccines and its workings. In the today’s working of the world even physicist & mathematicians are pitching their intellectual skills on curbing the pandemic in ways that are novel & indeed needed. It’s an academic maneuvering how physics and mathematical tools can be utilized in contributing toward helping the pandemic. I have myself recently started working for The Antibody Society, and this is closest I came to helping toward bringing forth therapeutics or the related biological understanding. My work here involves scientific communication, liaising, and outreach, and I think there is thus some contribution, however slight, being made to the current scientific needs.

But as Brian Greene brought forth his Equation of the Day series: Entirely mathematical, and thus an outlook of physics, a premise that could be a pleasurable distraction that can bring a nerve calming comfort, at least for those who love physics, and even more so mathematics, for purely their beauty. Yes, I know you all find fascination in physics and mathematical equation just as much as in captivating words, painting, natural landscapes, and so forth. So, in coming back to my blog I would first revive all the back posts, which I wrote for their varied topics of enticing awe, while inviting us to learn something new about the world we inhabit. Most is to allure you into the beauty of mathematics, and its rendering of physics. The recent some of blog posts (will continue to post all in total of 3 batches):

Her walk, the way she smiled as she walked towards me. online viagra cialis Massage Therapy covers various therapeutic approaches and is working to improve the amerikabulteni.com generic sale viagra well-being and individual health. He or she could try to ask the couples to overcome the troubles associated with levitra tablets fertility. This herbal oil penetrates viagra online store deeper into the inner tissues and nerves.

In bringing on your allurement of mathematical beauty, I want to bring in one the most fascinating equations, if not the most awe-inspiring mathematical rendition:

Eulers_Id

Stunning isn’t it. Even at a purely visual level. It’s more than stunning for ones who see the dynamics displayed in it. Foremost, it weaves five most important mathematical constants relating to each other in a single fabric. That’s what makes this tonality phenomenal. It’s as if this mathematical rendering speaks of all of the mathematics in a most short-cut form possible.

The interrelating constants:

“e” is Euler’s constant, a transcendental number (in a coming post I may say more on this) & a base of natural logarithm, which emerges naturally in phenomena innumerable like finance, exponential growth, statistical distribution, and is an inextricable part of higher-level mathematics that describes the universe we inhabit.

“i” is an imaginary unit of a complex number with property i = √-1, yet another topic of interest we might talk on in later posts.

“π” is transcendental as well, defined as, we all know, ratio of circle’s circumference to its diameter.

“1” seemingly simple but consequential in mathematical equations and understanding physical reality.

& if you rephrase to

Euler_Id2

“0”, indeed one of the most cherished constants that gives a defined order in the dynamics of higher mathematics, or any mathematics as such (we all know that).

This equation is known as Euler’s identity that directly emerges from from Euler’s formula, which relates e to sine and cosine in the field of complex numbers, devised by Euler (Leonhard Euler) himself.

I will leave it here for you to soak up on this. Leave a comment on your say on it, & I’ll write back soon.

Thank you,

Neeti.
