Re: Can you suggest six names of great mathematicians quickly?
Hi;
Yes, I have read that.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

10000000000 = 1024 ( binary )
0010000100000011 = 1024 ( fibonacci )
I've just answered my stupid question, never mind

Hi; that's great. But unfortunately, I do not understand what you mean by CGPA and A1. I though marking was out of 500.

Re: Can you suggest six names of great mathematicians quickly?
CBSE has actually changed itself a lot
CGPA means Cumulative Grade Point Average. A1 is a grade

I didn't realize CBSE utilized the GPA grading scale. Anyways, are you one of the national toppers for grade 9?
