1/n The Feynman Technique is a powerful method for learning and understanding complex concepts in physics and other fields. Named after physicist Richard Feynman, the technique helps to break down difficult concepts into simple, easy-to-understand language.

A Thread πŸ‘‡
2/n The basic idea behind the Feynman Technique is to explain a concept to yourself as if you were teaching it to someone else. By putting the concept into your own words, you are forced to actively engage with the material and identify any gaps in your understanding.
3/n To use the Feynman Technique, start by writing down the concept you want to understand in the center of a piece of paper. Then, write down any related concepts or terms around it.

10 Brilliant Mathematics Books published in 2021/22 that you must read.

A Mathematical Thread πŸ‘‡
1. Math without numbers

Author - Milo Beckman

In this book, the author argues that Math is already present around us and that everythingβ€”plants, love, and music can (in theory) be understood in terms of math. Image
He uses puzzles, logic, and analytics to explain the workings but not the mathematical equations.

Wanna Learn Quantum computation for free?

A Thread πŸ‘‡
Quantum mechanics was developed between 1900 and 1925 and it remains the cornerstone on which chemistry, condensed matter physics, and technologies ranging from computer chips to LEDs ultimately rest. Quantum computers were proposed in the 1980s by Richard Feynman and Yuri Manin. ImageImage
In 1976, Roman StanisΕ‚aw published one of the first attempts at creating a quantum information theory. In 1980, Paul Benioff of the ANL published a paper describing a quantum mechanical model of a Turing machine, the first to demonstrate the possibility of quantum computing. ImageImage

20 Best Mathematics Books that you can read to get you started and excel at Learning Math.

A Books Thread πŸ‘‡
1) The Wonder Book of Geometry: A Mathematical Story by David Acheson

Acheson has set geometry free from the confines of stuffy textbooks. There’s a rich and ancient history to be found in these pages, and a future for the field that extends beyond neat (yet elegant) eqns. Image
2) The Weird Math series by David Darling and Agnijo Banerjee

Agnijo Banerjee, and his tutor David Darling, fill the pages of three books with exotic and unusual facts about math, including God’s Number and the reigning role of Ο€ in just about everything. Image

You solve one of these problems, you win 1 Million dollars.πŸ’°

The six (out of seven) millennium prize problems in mathematics stated by the Clay Mathematics Institute.

A Thread πŸ‘‡
1) Riemann Hypothesis

The Riemann zeta function ΞΆ(s) is a fn whose argument 's' may be any complex number other than 1, and whose values are also complex. The hypothesis is that all non-trivial zeroes of the analytical continuation of the zeta function have a real part of 1/2. ImageImage
Formulated in Riemann's 1859 paper and The official statement of the problem was given by Enrico Bombieri. A proof or disproof of this would have far-reaching implications in number theory, especially for the distribution of prime numbers. Image
