Mathematics and more...

Last weekend, I had the privilege of attending a workshop on Mathematics.
The presenter, Mr Ron Lancaster from Canada was so passionate about Mathematics that everywhere he goes, he will bring along either a camera or a video recorder.
He showed how Mathematics is used in design, architecture and a different way to look at a Maths problem.
He also shared some interesting observations in Mathematics, especially in numbers and the use of a deck of card.
For example, let's think of a number, of any number of digits.
Let's use the number, 201153129
Count the numbers of even, odd and add up the number of even and odd numbers.
In 201153129, there are 3 even numbers. (0 is considered an even number)
Also, there are 6 odd numbers.
Total number of even and odd numbers is 9.
So we write down, the number 369 where '3' is the number of even numbers, '6' is the number of odd numbers and '9' is the total number of even and odd numbers in the number 201153129.

Then, again, from the number 369, we write down the number of even numbers, number of odd numbers and the total number of even AND odd numbers.

369
E: 1
O: 2
T: 3
So we get, 123

If we repeat the process, we will still get 123.

The conclusion is,
no matter what number we start with, the end result will be 123.
Try it and soon you will love the outcome.
You may start by using a number which is a combination of your birthdate and today's date and time. All the best!

There are many more amazing discoveries using Mathematics in the card tricks.
We can actually discover Mathematics in nature. In fact many architectural structures are 'born' by observing how nature works.

Keep looking around you surrounding and discover how much Mathematics is being used, everyday. Not only in building designs, Mathematics also appear in the systems of work, play and also leisure.
