      Quiz Time Mathematics - V&S Publishers

      Publisher’s Note

      In line with the range and series of Quiz Books published so far, V&S Publishers has come out with yet another novel and interesting Quiz Time Mathematics providing its readers with simple, interesting and brainteasing questions and quizzes along with their answers.

      Since the year 2012 has been declared the ‘National Mathematical Year’ in India, this is definitely the ideal time to launch the book. The book is very concise and aims to develop and sharpen the logical, reasoning and mathematical skills of the readers, particularly the school and college going students.

      The book is a unique blend of intriguing Questions and Quizzes divided into various chapters, such as Numerals, Geometry and Algebra defining the meaning of Mathematics, its various branches and usage, explaining the different, simple and complex mathematical terms and including the several theorems and laws to make the subject easier and interesting to the readers, especially the young students. Each chapter is accompanied with answers for the readers’ convenience.

      The book has also been made to cater to the needs of the students aspiring to qualify the Mathematical Olympiads, the National Talent Search Examination (NTSE), etc.

      The Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO) is an Olympiad in mathematics held in India. The INMO examination is conducted by the MO Cell in February of every year. School students of any class, starting from classes five and above first need to write the Regional Mathematical Olympiad of their respective state or region, usually held sometime between October and December of the previous year. Around 30 students are selected from each region, to write the INMO. Among these 400 or more students, a total of around 30 qualify the INMO.

      The qualifying students are invited to a one month mathematics camp at the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education in Mumbai. In this camp, the students are taught Olympiad Mathematics and some other General Mathematics. Five selection tests are held during this period and the top six students in the selection tests qualify to represent India in the International Mathematical Olympiad.

      So, go through the book thoroughly to sharpen your mathematical skills, qualify the above competitive tests if you are a keen aspirant as well as enjoy the thrill of solving these questions and quizzes.

      BRANCHES OF MATHEMATICS

      Questions

      Q-1. What is mathematics?

      Ans. The word ‘mathematics’ comes from the Greek word mathematika, meaning things that are learned. For ancient Greeks, mathematics included not only the study of numbers and space, but also astronomy and music. Nowadays, astronomy and music are not included in mathematics. In fact, it is the interdisciplinary tool of science.

      Q-2. What are the two main branches of mathematics?

      Ans. Mathematics is divided into two major branches: Pure mathematics and Applied mathematics. Pure mathematics is the study of quantities and their relationship, while applied mathematics is the use of pure mathematics to solve practical problems.

      Q-3. What are the main branches of pure and applied mathematics?

      Ans. The main branches of Pure Mathematics are Arithmetic, Algebra, Plane Geometry, Solid Geometry, Analytical Geometry, Non-Euclidean Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus, etc. The main branches of Applied Mathematics are Statistics, Computers, Dynamics, Hydrostatics, Optics and Atomic Studies, etc.

      Q-4. What is arithmetic?

      Ans. Arithmetic is used to solve problems using numbers. It comes from a Greek word — arithmos meaning the science of numbers. It is the oldest and simplest branch of mathematics.

      The fundamental operations of arithmetic are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

      Q-5. What do we study in algebra?

      Ans. Algebra deals with the whole group of numbers by means of symbols. Letters are used as symbols for numbers. Algebra uses equations and inequalities in solving problems. Sometimes algebra is also known as Generalised Arithmetics.

      Q-6. What is fluid dynamics?

      Ans. It deals with the motion of bodies in liquids and gases.

      Q-7. What is geometry?

      Ans. It is a branch of mathematics, concerned with the properties of space, usually in terms of plane (two dimensional) and solid (three dimensional) figures.

      Q-8. What do we study in trigonometry?

      Ans. Trigonometry is concerned with the triangle measurement. It makes use of the ratios of the sides of the triangle. It is of practical importance in navigating, surveying and simple harmonic motion in physics.

      Q-9. What is analytical geometry?

      Ans. It deals with generalised numbers and space relationship. In analytical geometry, we study planes and solid shapes with the
