Visual Multiplication with Lines Here's a way to multiply numbers visually! Suppose you want to multiply 22 by 13. Draw 2 lines slanted upward to the right, and then move downward to the right a short distance and draw another 2 lines upward to the right (see the magenta lines in Figure 1). Then draw 1 line slanted downward to the right, and then move upward to the right a short distance and draw another 3 lines slanted downward to the right (the cyan lines in Figure 1). Figure 1 Now count up the number of intersection points in each corner of the figure. The number of intersection points at left (green-shaded region) will be the first digit of the answer. Sum the number of intersection points at the top and bottom of the square (in the blue-shaded region); this will be the middle digit of the answer. The number of intersection points at right (in the yellow-shaded region) will be the last digit of ...

Some Good Ways to Improve your Vocabulary? Improving your vocabulary can be done at any age and any level of  education . Even college students can benefit from an enlarged vocabulary, which will enhance spoken and written communication. It will help in providing a deeper grasp of any language.

Contributed by Terrabyte – The Digital Hub Department of Computer Science Speed Maths Maths. It is something that none of us can avoid, even  after we leave school. Whether it is working out how much money we have to spend each month once the bills have been paid, or working out if we have enough money in our pocket for a couple of magazines at the local shop, being able to do mental arithmetic is really a useful skill. Sadly, lots of people are put off from improving  their maths skills. This might be because sums look daunting on paper. At school methods of learning sums and doing mental arithmetic can be a bit  threatening, boring or just not interactive enough. Here we tell you something about “Speed Maths”, which will help improve your maths and the speed at which you can do sums mentally. You can become a maths wizard  in no time at all! All you need is the ability to concentrate and the determination that you want to improve. The ...

Hi Friends, I plan to start online Computer Networking Classes (Theory + Practicals). Do let me know if you are interested. These classes will not be the routine type which does not explain the actual Topic. Even after reading several books on a certain topic it still is vague. Take for example - Aloha? How many of you (Learning Computer Network) have really understood the difference between Pure Aloha and Slotted Aloha? All Books starting from Tanenbaum to other less known authors (who claim to be the best authors) have taken the same Diagram and Text. This is where I wish to step in. If anyone is really interested then I will begin these classes. Do Let me know. Initially FREE, but later I MAY charge a nominal fees to meet my Internet and Phone Bill expenses. Keep in Touch and GOD Bless You. Ravinder Murthy, M.Sc. Information Technology Computer Faculty - Freelancer Mangalore Karnataka India

Tasty Appetite: Pepper Rasam

09.October.2006 : 1:25 pm Mangalore Today the television has become the main source of entertainment. You can choose the type of entertainment that you seek for. But today we find, that the commercials are playing a spoilsport in the field of entertainment. These commercials disturb the mental peace while viewing the shows. They are very irritating specially when it's a good movie with a theme or a movie with a suspense. While watching detective serials, just when the seriousness develops you are in for a break. Is there no way to stop these commercials? These commercials are not new also. The same commercial is repeated again and again. Some times you make up your mind not to go for that particular product, eventhough, you had thought of going for it when you had first seen the Advt. The customer on seeing the same thing again and again, feels that the product being advertised is trying to change the customers' frame of mind and hence to be on the defensive, he decides agains...
