why derivatives ?

To find an approximation of \sqrt[3]{25} one can do as follows.

  1. Consider the function  f(x)= x^{1/3}.\, Hence, the problem is reduced to finding the value of f(25).
  2. We have
     f\ '(x)= 1/3x^{-2/3}.
  3. According to linear approximation
     f(25) \approx f(27) + f\ '(27)(25 - 27) = 3 - 2/27.
  4. The result, 2.926, lies fairly close to the actual value 2.924…

LOST TOUCH WITH MATHS

Onam days I have tried some Laplace Transform ( which is commonly used in Network realization and ELECTRICAL circuits ) from mathematics text book. Then I realized the fact that even the basic integration methods like integration by parts and other haven't there in my mind. But the basic for mule in Laplace finished in onam days itself. Parallel y hearing online video classes ..... but it is like a drop of water in the sea....... I dont know where I can reach.

I am wasting precious time

Mind become restless if we can't utilize our time effectively. Nowadays I found that that was the major reason for my restlessness. Somewhere I need to concentrate my mind and brain. I am feeling that I am not utilizing the time given to me...

I don't know how to solve this problem..... But I am not ready to fear.


( this is today's state of mind )

DREAM FIRST ... WORK FOR IT, YOU WILL GET

DREAM FIRST .. WORK FOR IT , YOU WILL GET

I believe these words.


Some of college friends motivating me for a Mtech. Really my mind is restless now.

WARNING

how fast or immediate i am starting study and How fastly and strongly i studies subjects will determine my score in GATE ......



I am feeling that Mtech in IIT( dream) is reachable ambition. But I haven't informed this to father. Most probably he will reject....(that is not a problem )
I informed to my brother....( i got half +ve approval from him).I need to work hard that was his advice.
Here(in chennai) the atmosphere is not favor to study .It is a challenge as well as thrill.
Getting a Btech admission in IIT is much harder than a MTech. Making a decision is very important because GATE is an all India exam. Even if it is simple compared to btech, students from all over india is participating in it.That much competition is there.

( this blog is exclusively to me)

SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO KNOW BEFORE PASSING OUT BTECH

Very strange classes. They analyzed it in a strange manner. I have completed two 'digital signal processing' lecture video and two electromagnetic theory. Before taking text book, this classes will surely help anyone who love to learn things without much effort. I haven't analyzed electronics before.
watch the video ....

MTECH DREAM OBSTACLES

I started to dream Mtech. But the reasons for hesitation are,
First: completely lost the touch with what I have studied in Btech.
Second: whether I can study again ... that doubt
Third: I want more practical and experimenting opportunity than theory ( in electronics and embedded programming)... whether mtech can provide that facility ?
Fourth: After Mtech what I will do,if I didn't get job , ????( After seeing some good teachers, I start to find interest in teaching...this is a positive thing )
Fifth: Money...,,.. currently I am getting some what good salary. What will people (friends and classmates) tell if I don't get a job better than this ??

I am struggling to take a decision.

not getting satisfaction in this life

really I am struggling to move days. Things I expected to come in life, is far away from me.Some kind of disappointment is coming, as well as home sickness. Dreams are far far ...away. Which path will I have to choose?. Now I am crying for the valuable time that I have missed in B Tech.I can't concentrate on things. Nothing I am getting from internet these days.

I would have to form a group in B Tech with friends those who are interested in studies and exploring things. My ambition is to build a electronics or computer related company with college mates. I know that, I have that much talented friends.(including girls) .......But failed to talk to them or co-ordinate them.Now I am not getting chance to apply what I have studied..... I have no control on my life... Life is going one way.. I am going behind that.

Extravagant Ceremony Opens 2008 Olympic Games

Coming days are very interesting . Long back ( before coming to chennai ) in badminton match, I have seen , 15 (more than) unbreakable rally in one service .And beautiful smashes for smashes in TT. We have TT in our office ( really I become TT addict in my college days itself) . Now in chennai, here we have TV, but that is common.. and no time also.... But I will try to watch atleast TT and badminton....


enjoy Olympics 2008

Experience ubuntu

What is Ubuntu? I am searching new answers. I will say this is more than an operating system... more than a software or man made computer intelligence. This is derived from people who offer humanity or allow or make a way others to grow in the computer science world.

Ubuntu become very much advanced

Today I tried to play video in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. Then its asked for some file encoding software. After checked them to installation , amazing it automatically download the data from net and installed in lap. Now i am quite confident to say after 2 years in Kerala you can see more Ubuntu Desktops in Schools and Houses compared to MS.Ubuntu gives you the power and flexibility for business, education and home use.

Ubuntu can change everything

Yesterday I had installed Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition. I really wondered on seeing the installation as well as appearence of latest Ubuntu. In that cover of Ubuntu CD ( www.ubuntu.com ), they have described their mission. After one round usimg I realised the tremendous differance between 6th and 8 th version of Ubuntu.You can feel the differance in windows closing ,utilities and in booting ,opening screen. Moreover I understood the strength of ubuntu community ( www.ubuntu.com/community ) . "Ubuntu" is an ancient African word that means "humanity to others " . This Linux distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to software world.

But this time also I missed to make a swap partion. Actually I don't know how to make a swap? How much space needed ? How it should be specified at the time of installation??

Struggling for getting interest to blog

In these days I was really struggling for getting a topic to blog. I can say, no time to study or read a new thing.But I want to enrich my knowledge. Usually I go to office at 8.00 am and return only on 9.30 pm. In software companies this become a culture. Even if they(sorry, we ) don't have work, we will be keen to pretend that we have work or heavy load. I can cry on public, in that 10 or 11 hours, most of the time my brain will be switched off.

But I am not ready to stop my blogging spirit. Here I am alone. I want my life to open to others so that I believe, I can reduce loneliness . You can expect more, more funny things.

Proud to be a GECT ian

Tessy Thomas, the first 'missile woman' of India
New Delhi, Wed, 14 May 2008 NI Wire

Indian women after serving to various post which were known to be controlled by their male counterparts including the post of Prime minister to President, Police service to the field of aviation here is another newsmaker Tessy Thomas who is been appointed as Project Director for developing the advanced version of Agni II missile.


An expert of solid system propellants which is used in Agni missile, Tessy earlier has worked as Assistant Project Director in successful launch of Agni III Interballistic missile with 3500 range on May 7.

“I like my job. I feel I am contributing to my nation's security,” said at an award function who was facilitated along with the entire team behind Agni III success story by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

She shared the responsibility with other 200 women defence scientist contributing India through Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

Her take on the advance form of Agni II which will develop under her guidance was, “It's still a confidential project. It will be called Agni-II-A2.”

After completing B.Tech from Thrissur Engineering College, Kozhikode, and an M.Tech in Guided Missile from Pune, this 45 year old who is also tagged as India's missile woman has also worked with the missile man of India , Dr Abdul Kalam the former president of India.

She has also analysed the reason for the failure of earlier version of Agni III which brought immense help to overcome the shortcomings and successfully launch the Agni III with range of 3,500 km.

She has also become the aspiration of millions of women who want to make career in this field. She is also a reflection of a changing scenario of women in India.
