Brahmagupta Invented Zero

Zero is not just a word or a numeral but a symbol of the pride of the Indian nation and the fact that the eastern culture's research and development in the field of science and mathematics is the very foundation on which the medieval world's discoveries were made and yet more future ones still remain to be made through forgotten zeroes of the east.

In this ever changing dynamic world no one really cares about this sweet little zero, but imagine if this is taken out of our lives then all the scientific developments will come to a chaotic end and your four to eight figure salary will be a single digit trauma. NASA will have to cancel their trips to mars and the moon, Hubble will just fall to the earth. Furthermore, our modern mathematics will be shaken and will find new abrupt faces to explain its complex theorems. In short, the entire world will be a bear's garden in the absence of this single numeral called 'Zero' and written as '0' and sometimes pronounced as just O.

Zero was not the brainchild of Greek, Arabic or the Western world but the product of an Indian mathematician called Brahmagupta in 598 AD. Brahmagupta was born in Gujarat in the city of Bhinmal which is currently situated in the North West Rajasthan. Brahmagupta was the head of the department of mathematics and Astronomy at the university set up by another great Vedic Indian mathematician Aryabhatta at the city of Ujjain which was at that time a great center for learning Science literature Sanskrit and the art of prediction called astronomy.

Read about Brahmagupta and his mathematics. Brahmagupta was one of the greatest mathematician of the world. The credit for the invention goes to this great mathematician.

Botanists To Be The First On Mars?

Botany has taken a new twist in the chasing fame category. A famous space botanist has indicated that he believes a botanist will be the first to set foot on Mars. The reason for this is the need to have someone who understands microscopic microbes. This has unsettled the rockologists who felt they would be amongst the first to be chosen.

Plant life and the way in which plants can be cultivated and manipulated has proven to be both intriguing and interesting to many people for several years. Not only do plants have a beauty which we can all appreciate when looking at them, but they also play an extremely useful role as a resource for basic human necessities.

Botanical research is carried out in order to better and enhance the manufacture of such things as medications and foodstuffs and at the same time for preparing other products which are derived from plant extracts, discovering plant life on Mars would be an amazing discovery for the watching world. We do not only use plants to appeal to the eye by way of decorating our homes or improving the look of places such as parks and forests but also for the very functional solving of problems caused by pollution in our modern world as well.

Botany is the scientific study of plants so if this most natural form of beauty appeals to you and you feel you would like to take the subject seriously and you want to go to Mars, then maybe you should consider a career in Botany. Once you have decided that this is the chosen path for your future, you will be absolutely amazed when you find out just how many different species of plant there are in existence.

This will provide you with numerous opportunities in which you can specialize within your field of work and the wide ranging diversity of the subject will make it possible for people from all lifestyles to develop their knowledge of plant science. Whether you are male or female, Botany will provide you with a job full of satisfaction and enjoyment at the same time as allowing you the luxury of your work being of benefit to others. A visit to mars would certainly make you very famous.

Conservationist, ecologist, forester, plant explorer and taxonomist are just some of the many occupations within the field of Botany and work of this kind may involve travel abroad to exotic places in order for you to carry out your duties. A career as a plant physiologist, a plant biochemist, a molecular biologist or even the more complex field of a chemo taxonomist would be ideal for those who are more chemistry minded whilst for people with a background of mathematics, subjects such as biophysics, development botany, genetics, modeling or systems ecology are likely to be of interest. This would certainly qualify you for space travel!

Of course, as with any chosen career, how you conduct and feel about your work lies with you. What you actually get out of the job is determined by what you are willing to put in but in the line of Botany you can be sure that the hard work you will have to commit yourself to will be well rewarded when you have a career you really enjoy and from which you get a growing satisfaction each and every day. Not all Botanist will ever go to Mars but we are sure worldwide travel and a very interesting rewarding career awaits you.

The Botanists profession has fascinated Derek for many years. Remarkable discoveries are now sold in garden centers worldwide.
