Mathematical Puzzles These puzzles (most of them old classics) from various sources can be used with pupils who finish classwork early. Most of the questions were chosen with enthusiastic‚ bright early teenagers in mind. Some of the puzzles are also appropriate for class work - an initial worked example on the board will help a lot. There are a few trick questions. Some questions can be quickly answered if you chance upon the right approach‚ but the ’long’ solution isn’t too arduous. Several of

Complex Numbers All complex numbers consist of a real and imaginary part. The imaginary part is a multiple of i (where i =[pic] ). We often use the letter ‘z’ to represent a complex number eg. z = 3 +5i The conjugate of z is written as z* or [pic] If z1 = a + bi then the conjugate of z (z* ) = a – bi Similarly if z2 = x – yi then the conjugate z2* = x + yi z z* will always be real (as i2 = -1) For two expressions containing complex numbers to be equal‚

understanding. Based on geometry alone‚ many special patterns evolve‚ such as the square numbers‚ triangular numbers‚ and much more. The Stellar Numbers are mostly used in astronomy and astrology. Stellar Numbers are figurate numbers based on the number of dots that can fit into a midpoint to form a star shape. The points of the star determine the number of points plotted around the midpoint. Triangular numbers is a figurate number system that can be represented in the form of a triangular grid of points where

Quantum Numbers Quantum Numbers The Bohr model was a one-dimensional model that used one quantum number to describe the distribution of electrons in the atom. The only information that was important was the size of the orbit‚ which was described by the n quantum number. Schrödinger’s model allowed the electron to occupy three-dimensional space. It therefore required three coordinates‚ or three quantum numbers‚ to describe the orbitals in which electrons can be found. The three coordinates that

------------------------------------------------- Prime number A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. A natural number greater than 1 that is not a prime number is called a composite number. For example 5 is prime‚ as only 1 and 5 divide it‚ whereas 6 is composite‚ since it has the divisors 2 and 3 in addition to 1 and 6. The fundamental theorem of arithmetic establishes the central role of primes in number theory: any integer greater than

Fibonacci Sequence Fibonacci‚ also known as the Leonardo of Pisa‚ born in the early 1770’s AD in Pisa‚ Italy‚ has had a huge impact on today’s math‚ and is used in everyday jobs all over the world. After living with his dad‚ a North African educator‚ he discovered these ways of math by traveling along the Mediterranean Coast learning their ways of math. With the inspiration from the “Hindu-Arabic” numerical system‚ Fibonacci created the 0-9 number system we still use to this day. One of his
