Mathematics is not about numbers, equations, computations, or algorithms: it is about understanding &
practicing.— William Paul Thurston, American Mathematician
 PROBLEM - 1

The position of a ball at time ‘t’ when it is thrown

upward from a height of three feet with an initial
velocity of five feet per second is given by
Estimate the time at maximum height using
Rolle’s theorem.

Mathematics compares the most diverse phenomena and discovers the secret analogies that unite them.
— Joseph Fourier, French Mathematician
 PROBLEM - 2

A truck travels on a toll road with a speed limit of

80km/hour. The truck completes 164km journey
in 2 hours. At the end of the toll road the trucker
is issued with a speed alert violation ticket.
Justify the whether the truck has exceeded the
speed limit?
A mathematician who is not also something of a poet will never be a complete mathematician.
— Karl Weierstrass, German Mathematician
 PROBLEM - 3

In a theatre a movie screen on a wall is 20 feet

high and 10 feet above the floor. At what
distance ‘x’ from the front side of the room
should you position yourself so that the viewing
angle of the screen is as large as possible.
It is impossible to be a mathematician without being a poet in soul.
— Sofia Kovalevskaya, Russian Mathematician
 PROBLEM - 4

There are fifty apple trees in an orchard. Each

tree produces eight hundred apples. For each
additional tree planted in the orchard the output
per tree drops by ten apples. How many trees
should be added to the existing orchard so as to
maximize the total output of the apple trees?
I’ve always enjoyed mathematics. It is the most precise and concise way of expressing an idea.
— N.R. Narayana Murthy, Indian IT Industrialist
 PROBLEM - 5

Show that and

hence find the value of dx.

Mathematics allows for no hypocrisy and no vagueness.

— Stendhal, French Writer
 PROBLEM - 6

Evaluate, where R is the region

bounded by the parabolas and
.

The word ‘Obvious’ is the most dangerous word in mathematics.

— Eric Temple Bell, Scottish Mathematician
 PROBLEM - 7

Evaluate .

There is no such thing as boring mathematics.

— Edger W. Dijkstra, Dutch Scientist
 PROBLEM - 8

Evaluate .

Mathematics knows no races or geographic boundaries; for mathematics, the cultural world is one country.
— David Hilbert, German Mathematician
 PROBLEM - 9

Mathematics is the music of reason.

— James Joseph Sylvester, English Mathematician
 PROBLEM - 10

If Evaluate .

What is mathematics? It is only a systematic effort of solving puzzles posed by nature.

— Shakuntala Devi, Indian Human Computer
 PROBLEM - 11

Find the extreme values of the function

Mathematics is the most beautiful and most powerful creation of the human spirit.
— Stefan Banach, Polish Mathematician
 PROBLEM - 12

Divide the number 24 into three parts such

that the continued product of the first, square
of the case of the third may be maximum.

Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.

— Albert Einstein, German Theoretical Physicist
 PROBLEM - 13

Carolyn invests a total of $12,000 in two

municipal bonds, One paying 10.5% interest and
the other paying 12% interest. The annual
interest earned on the two investments last year
was $1,335. How much was invested at each
rate?
In mathematics the art of proposing a question must be held of higher value than solving it.
— Georg Ferdinand Ludwig Philip Cantor, German Mathematician
 PROBLEM - 14

Ava invests a total of $ 10,000 in three accounts, One

paying 5% interest, another paying 8% interest, and
the third paying 9% interest. The annual interest
earned on the three investments last year was $ 770.
The amount invested at 9% was twice the amount
invested at 5%. How much was invested at each
rate?
It is clear that the chief end of mathematical study must be to make the students think.
— John Wesley Young, American Mathematician
 PROBLEM - 15

Solve the following system of equations using the

LU Decomposition method
x 1 + x2 + x 3 = 1
4x1 + 3x2 – x3 = 6
3x1 + 5x2 +3x3 = 4

Nature is written in mathematical language.

— Galileo Galilei, Italian Astronomer
 PROBLEM - 16

The solution by Gauss – Jordan method for the

following equations is
x + y + z =9
2x – 3y + 4z = 13
3x + 4y +5z = 40

To me, mathematics, computer science, and the arts are insanely related. They’re all creative expressions.
— Sebastian Thrun, German Innovator, Computer Scientist and Entrepreneur Educator
