Why should we study Probability?

-

 Imagine yourself, not just as a student, but as a **detective of chance**, wielding the powerful tool of probability. Unlock the mysteries of the universe, from predicting the next roll of the dice to the behavior of galaxies, all through the elegant language of mathematics!


Probability isn't just dry formulas; it's the **art of possibility**. It's about peering into the unknown and asking: "What could happen? How likely is it? Can I use that knowledge to make better choices?"


Think of it like this:


* **Ever dreamt of winning the lottery?** Probability shows you the odds, but also the strategies to improve them (maybe just a little!).

* **Cracking a code?** Probability helps you analyze patterns and decipher hidden messages.

* **Predicting weather patterns?** Probability models unveil the dance of pressure systems and clouds.

* **Building bridges that withstand storms?** Probability ensures the safety of millions by calculating risk and resilience.


But wait, there's more! Probability isn't just about practicality. It's a **playground of the mind**, a realm of mind-bending paradoxes and counterintuitive solutions. It's where you can:


* **Challenge the very notion of certainty:** Imagine a fair coin toss. Is heads or tails truly 50/50? What about flipping it infinitely? Probability takes you down the rabbit hole of mathematical wonders.

* **Unravel the secrets of randomness:** Is there order within chaos? Probability helps you understand how seemingly random events can have surprising patterns and hidden structures.

* **Become a master strategist:** From card games to complex algorithms, probability empowers you to make informed choices and outsmart the odds.


Like Srinivasa Ramanujan, who saw the magic of numbers woven into the fabric of the universe, you too can develop an **infatuation with the beauty and power of probability**. It's a journey of exploration, discovery, and intellectual adventure. It's not just about getting the right answer; it's about the thrill of the chase, the joy of the unexpected, and the satisfaction of unraveling the mysteries of chance.


So, are you ready to embark on this mathematical odyssey? Grab your pencil, unleash your curiosity, and let probability ignite your passion for knowledge, just like it did for Ramanujan! Remember, the world is your puzzle, and probability is the key to unlocking its secrets.

This speech was written by Mohit, it was delivered on the occasion of National Youth Day at FIS (Manasa).     Speech Swami Vivekananda, in his childhood he was called Naren, was born on January 12, 1863 in Kolkata. His father, Vishwanath Datta, was an advocate in the High Court of Kolkata. Vishwanath had a deep interest in music and he thought of it as the source of much innocent pleasure. He used to read Bible and recite poems of Persian poet Hafiz with great joy. Naren's mother, Bhuvaneshwari Devi, was extraordinarily intelligent and it was her habit to study Sanskrit scriptures the Ramayan and the Mahabharata.     When Naren was studying in sixth class of Pandit Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar's Institution, he was told that he would have to study English. He was not willing to do so. It was a foreign language, he said, so why should he learn it? The teachers persisted and Naren went home crying to his parents and there his father made him aware about the Joy of Learni...

How did Bhagat Singh join HSRA? (DeepSeek)

-
 Bhagat Singh's association with the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA) was a pivotal chapter in India's freedom struggle. Here's a detailed account of his journey into the organization: --- Early Influences and Political Awakening 1. Family Background:      Bhagat Singh was born into a family deeply involved in the independence movement. His father, Kishan Singh, and uncle, Ajit Singh, were active revolutionaries, exposing him to nationalist ideas from a young age. 2. Impact of Jallianwala Bagh (1919):      The massacre at Jallianwala Bagh in 1919, when Bhagat Singh was 12, radicalized him. He openly defied British authorities by burning textbooks and symbols of colonial rule. 3. Rejection of Non-Violence:      Disillusioned by the slow progress of the Indian National Congress' non-violent methods, Bhagat Singh gravitated toward revolutionary ideologies. He famously said, *"Bombs and pistols do not make a r...

अज्ञेय जी कहते हैं ‘मेरा सच्चा पाठक वही है, जो मेरा लिखा हुआ समझे और उसके अनुसार कर्म करे।’ शेखर को लगता, उसके शरीर में कोई परिवर्तन हो रहा है। उसे लगता, वह बीमार है; उसे लगता, उसमें बहुत शक्ति आ गयी है; और वह, अपनी दुम का पीछा करते हुए कुत्ते की तरह, अपने ही आसपास चक्कर काटकर रह जाता...      अपने शरीर की माँग वह नहीं समझता, लेकिन उसे लगता, यह माँग कुछ अनुचित हैै, कुछ पापमय है। और वह चाहता कि किसी तरह उसे दबा डाले, कुचल डाले, धूल में ऐसा मिला डाले कि उसका पता भी न लगे, चाहे शरीर ही उसके साथ क्यों न नष्ट हो जाय...      वह मन उस पर से हटाना चाहता। यह तो वह जानता नहीं था कि किस तरह से शरीर से मन हटाए, लेकिन कविता में रुचि थी, और इसलिए उसे आशा थी कि वह उसमें अपने को भुला सकेगा। वह हर समय, हर प्रकार की कविता पढ़ने लगा। उसने संस्कृत-कवि पढ़े, उसने उर्दू से अनुवाद पढ़े, उसने जो कवि उसकी पाठ्य-पुस्तकों में थे — Tennyson, Wordsworth, Shelley, Christina Rossetti, Scott — सब पूरे पढ़ डाले। फिर उसने वे कवि पढ़ने आरम्भ किये, जो उसकी पुस्तक...
