Mathematical concepts from Srinivasa Ramanujam
Srinivasa Ramanujan , one of the best known Indian mathematicians ,
shockingly got almost no formal immaculate training in mathematics yet,
he made a mind blowing number of contributions to different parts of
mathematics , including the Ramanujan conjecture and the formula for
the infinite series for π.
In the event that Ramanujan is to be trusted , he was inspired by his
family 's goddess , Mahalakshmi
of Namakkal , whom the
mathematician said gave him , dreams for complex mathematical
concepts . When awake, Ramanujan would record these dreams as he
recollected that them, and the majority of these concepts later ended up
being right.
The Anatomical Structure of a Fossil Fish
Swiss-born naturalist Louis Agassiz who is considered a founding father
of modern American science and is is best known for his five-volume
work, Recherches sur les poissons fossiles (Research on Fossil Fish),
published in interims from 1833 to 1843. While working on a particular
type of fossil fish for the publication , Agassiz got stuck on how to
unravel the anatomical structure of the specimen as fossilized in a slab
of stone . It is said that for two consecutive nights in a row, he dreamt
about the fish in perfect condition , but after awakening , he could not
remember the details of the fish’s anatomy . So on third night, Agassiz
left a pen and paper by his bedside and prayed God he would have the
dream once more. As he had trusted , the dream did come , keeping in
mind just half -conscious , he drew the fish and backtracked to rest .
Shockingly , when the researcher completely stirred the next morning ,
he wondered about how precisely point by point his delineation was, in
this manner driving him to accurately interpret the stone section.
Sewing machine utilizing a lockstitch plan
In 1845, Elias Howe invented the sewing machine taking into account a
celebrated dream that helped him comprehend the mechanical
penetration of the needle for which he was awarded the first US patent
for a sewing machine utilizing a lockstitch plan. Elias Howe dreamt that
he was tasked by a coldblooded king to make a sewing machine in
twenty-four hours, the punishment for neglecting to do as such being
death.
