Functions & Life - 2

Hello Everyone,

It is 2345hrs right now, I want to sleep badly, however, before that I would just like to share some words with you.:) Yesterday's post might look crazy but thats the way I feel about life. I started learning about the concept called "Sets" when I was about 10 years, in the mathematics course of 6th grade. After that in the next grade, I had learnt about "Relations", and the list follows. Now when I look back, I feel that those concepts are much more important than what we use them for. They teach us something else too.

A Relation can be termed as a Function only under certain condtions, in a similar fashion, any personal relation in real life would be functioning properly only under certain situations (when proper amount of time, money and interest is invested). Similarly, there would be specific Limits to any function, as we do have in any real situation in life. Identifying the limits is one of the most important aspects in the analysis of a function, which is quite analogous to real life, where it would always be better to identify our limits under any situation and behave accordingly.  

1. I curse my poor memory, as I forgot the name of a theorem which states that any function can be expressed as a sum of series of sine and cosine terms. As we all are well aware of the behaviour these famous trigonometric functions. They are periodic fluctuations (ups and downs).

Doesn't this seem like something???

2. We all know that life is a repeated cycle with up's and down's; infact only change is constant in life. There would be high times and low times in all of our lives' which neither stay forever nor conclude at once.

Now I get close to make a point here. Doesn't 1 & 2 seem similar??  I was surprised when this thought arouse in my mind. It was quite fascinating. It was then that I believed there something else to mathematics, which I should start to understand. From then, I started relating everything in mathematics to life, and I find it wonderful. Apart from that, I also had some analogies between the concepts of mathematics and science which can be realted to life.

I want to type more, but its 0020hrs right now, and I got to catch sleep. See you people tomorrow.

Let peace prevail in this world
