MATHEMATICAL
EQUATIONS
Who said that maths are boring? We all know the
Pythagorean theorem formula for a right triangle (a2+b2=c2) ; the solution of
quadratic ax2 + bx +c=0 or
the fundamental theorem of calculus. But in this post we are going to show you random formulas that we find more fun.
F = T ∇ S
It is very complicated to understand
it as it is a really abstract concept, so you can click here to watch Alex
Wissner-Gross´video. He is a scientist, inventor and entrepreneur. http://www.ted.com/talks/alex_wissner_gross_a_new_equation_for_intelligence
It was created by Vauxhall Motors and maths professor Simon Blackburn.
Professor Blackburn said:
"Parking the car is something that most of us do on a daily basis – and we
all get a little frustrated with it sometimes. This was the perfect opportunity
to show how we can apply mathematics to understanding something that we all
share.”

Some nutritionists use this
formula. It calculates the BMR,
Basal Metabolic Rate, which is the amount of energy expended daily. Although
everybody is different, and there are many factors involved, this formula is quite
precise. It takes into account weight, hight, age and gender:
Men:
BMR = 66 + ( 13.7 x weight in kilos ) + ( 5 x height in cm ) - ( 6.8 x age in
years )

This is, without any doubt, the funniest one. It is an equation of the perfect sandwich! When we first knew about it, we took it as a joke. And what was even more surprising was finding out that this equation was proposed by Bristol University.
Although it is supposed to be an easy formula, it is actually quite complicated.

TB + (H2O at 100C) 2mins BT
+ C (10ml) + 6mins BT = PC (at OT 60C). TB = tea bag; BT = brewing time; C =
milk; PC = perfect cuppa; OT = optimum temperature
