The Mathematician Shakuntala Devi
- SHAKUNTALA DEVI
Shakuntala Devi was born on 7 November 1929 in an early Kannada Brahmin family in Bengal (Pandya, 2013). His father refused to be a temple priest. He performs in the circus and plays the role of a dancer, a wrestler, and a magician. When Shakuntala Devi was 3 years old she taught him to play cards. While teaching the game, he noticed the remarkable ability of his daughter to remember numbers. His father quit his job at the circus. Take the girl to the road show. To demonstrate his computational ability. Even outside of traditional education He provides this extraordinary ability. At the age of 5 he became proficient in solving mathematical problems. At the age of 6, Shakuntala Devi made her first major exhibition at the University of Maisa. It was the beginning of a long public exhibition. Shakuntala Devi became the only Rajgarh man in the family. It was not easy for a child to handle this responsibility. At the age of 10, Shakuntala Devi was admitted to the first class at Theresa Convent in Chamarajpet. He was expelled from school a month later for not paying the monthly fee of Rs 2. Shakuntala Devi has grown up in Garipuram, Gettahalli half slum area.
In search of fortune, he took his father Shakuntala to London in 1944. In 1950. He traveled to Europe. The results of a complex calculation he gave during an interview with the BBC did not match the calculations of the interviewees. Later it was seen that Shakuntala Devi's calculation was correct. A similar thing happened at Ram University, when one of his answers was called wrong. The experts later reconsidered their solution and found that Shakuntala Devi's answer was correct.
Mrs. Shakuntala Devi solved the following problems in an exhibition in New York in 1976 in 20 seconds or less.
1.Addition 25,842,278
111,201,721
370,247,830
55,511,315
.
Multiplying with this addition 9878
2∛(188 132 517)
.3. What was the 14th day of each month in 1935?
Ans: 1. 5, 559, 369, 456, 432
2. 573
3. Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday, Tuesday, Friday, Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday, Saturday, Thursday, Sunday (smith, 1963) starting from the month of January. The first two answers of Shakuntala Devi were correct. In the case of the third question, two answers were incorrect.
a. 14th January 1935, September (not Tuesday)
b. December 14, 1935, 1977 (not Sunday)
201-digit numbers on display at the Southern Methodist University on Saturday,
Diagnoses the 23rd roote. He gave the correct answer 546, 372, 891 in just 50 seconds. To verify this answer, UNIVAC 1101 had to write a special program for computers (Smith, 1983).
June 28, 1980 is an important day in the life of Shakuntala Devi. On that day, he multiplied two 13-digit numbers in 28 seconds in the computer department of Imperial College London. Numbers were randomly chosen with the help of two computers. The problem was: 7, 686, 369, 774, 870 x 2, 465, (099, 745 779) His correct answer was "18, 947, 668, 177, 995, 426, 462, 773, 730" 45 to show outstanding achievement. She was included in the Guinness Book of Records in 1982. According to Smith, "The result is so far superior to anything previously reported that it can only be described as unbelievable" (Smith, 1983)
Shakuntala Devi's outstanding The ability to calculate attracted the attention of Arthur Jensen, a professor of psychology who was oblivious to his accomplishments but doubted them (Jenson, 1999). The goddess Shakuntala visited the San Francisco Bay Area in 1988. There was an exhibition at Stanford University in the presence of mathematicians, engineers and computer experts.
1.∛61,629,875
2. √170,859,375
Shakuntala Devi gave the correct answer before Jenson's wife started the stopwatch.
1.∛61,629,875= 395
2. √170,859,375 = 15
Jenson admitted that she Ray was disappointed because it took him a long time to solve the two problems with the help of the calculator. Jenson opined that Shakuntala Devi was a specialty in the determination of cubes. Here are some examples (Jenson, 1990) Answer:
Shakuntala Devi says that it is artificial to group the numbers with the help of reduction. (iii) “I think anyone can do it if the way I number. And regarded as a hindrance to the resolution process. For Shakuntala Devi, the numbers were not written in a fashionable manner, but the fruit was always written as a string of equally spaced digits.
Goddess Shakuntala has also determined the origin of numbers which are not integers. Time takes more than 3 seconds.
Example:√12,812.904 = 23-4
More problems for irrational roots. √ 743,895,212 =?
Seeing the number, he said "wrong number". The computer had the answer. 9-676616492 + (irrational amount). Jensen suspected that Shakuntala Devi might have solved at least two decimal places but said it would take more time. The solution is not to maintain the reputation of his profession. But it is a very pleasing and satisfying fact that he was able to recognize the irrational sum with the ninth root speed of a number of 9 digits (Jenson, 1990). Outstanding talent right on the calendar. Shakuntala was the goddess. In 1988,
Jenson did some experiments on his mental abilities. But the results of the corner test could not explain the reason for Shakuntala Devi's outstanding achievement in solving the problem of numbers. Now the only question is how could he? He himself has given different answers at different times. There is no consistency between the answers. Neutroscopy is based on the philosophy that all his answers agree with neutrophils. The answers are: (i) God's blessing.
(ii) It is a birth gift.
(3)They love numbers that way. ”
(iv) “Probably anyone can do it if they have been playing with numbers for hours on end since childhood.
He was nicknamed the "Hu man Computer" for his ability to solve number problems.
He popularized mathematics because of his fascinating ability to solve quickly. He has written books on novels, mathematics, riddles, and astrology. His works on Mathematical Techniques and Vedic Mathematics (Human Computer ') became popular all over the country. He started the Shakuntala Devi Education Foundation Public Trust for quality education for disadvantaged children in the social sphere. He encouraged research on Vedic mathematics and helped in the effort to make the world aware of the contribution of Indians in mathematics. Who has had to make money since he was just six years old. Life has to work hard. The family is broken. Love for mathematics has not diminished, love for people has not diminished. Success did not come in politics. But to humans he has remained popular as a human computer. Human society is proud to have such hardworking, talented people.
Criticism: He showed extreme skill in mathematics. However, according to astrology, he practiced unscientific subjects and tried to popularize it, which is contrary to his scientific mentality..
