Maths Workshop
You would be pleased to know that DPS RK Puram and Casio India CO. Pvt. Ltd. are organizing a professional development program for teachers on the theme:
The Program will be held on 12th and 13th May, 2006, from 8:30 AM to 2 PM.
We will have a talk by Prof. Wei Chi Yang, Mathematics Dept., Radford University, Virginia, USA on the Impact of Technology on Teaching and Learning of Mathematics.
There will also be a talk by Lady Plaxy Arthur and by Dr. Jonaki B Ghosh.
A Hands-on Session on the Casio CFX 9860 GC PLUS Graphics Calculator & on the Casio fx 991ES Scientific Calculator by Jonaki ma'am will also be held.
We will also have a lecture Demonstration on Geometer's Skecthpad by Dr. Preeti Tripathi, Reader, Central Institute of Education, Delhi University.
All Mathematical Society members should come in School Uniform by 7:30 AM on Friday.

I knew about this workshop, but not about all these ppl coming to it. Kya baat hai!!
hey,
are we allowed to attend this.. workshop??
mayank it was nice to hear from you. well msf puts no bindings on you. you can join me in my project. So that I may be able to give you the details of the project- the notes, my ideas n wat end result i'm expectin from the project- for telling u abt all this i'll hav to mail u. i personally feel the need to include ppl. in my team who share my excitement abt the scheme of things. a person like u who is thrilled abt such topics is my obvious choice. a warm welcome to my team. plzzz do send in ur e-mail address. thanks a lot. n hats off to ppl. like u who r so much motivated towards research.
Hey,
Ur right in a way, that it might have 3 answers, 0, 1 or infinity. But u don't actually know what infinity is, i.e. it can take any value.
0^0 is an indeterminate form. Other indeterminates forms being 0*infinity , 1^infinity , 0/0 , infinity/infinity , infinity^0, infinity - infinity.
These 7 forms are indeterminate forms and u'll learn bout them in class XI (according to new syllabus from this year onwards).
indeterminate is a failiure of mathematics- it is the domain where no solution is available. we don't know wat an indeterminate means - there is no physical interpretation for it. its like my article on infinity & its relation to black hole. i wrote there that mathematics as a language of science, falls short of words when it comes to dealing with indeterminates- dealing with infinity - something that can't be defined. i think i hav tried to explain this by giving an insight into the fact that black holes are beyond human perception. also u can't use mathematics to predict wat goes on inside the black hole. why?? simply because it introduces the ridiculous infinity issue. black hole's strong gravitational field curves & stretches space-time meshwork infinitely. u can't apply the equations of relativity bcoz all that it gives u as a solution is the nuisance called infinity.
mayank as far as ur problem
1^0=2^0
ie. 1=2
is concerned. u shud be able to recall that the rule is when the bases are same u can compare indices(powers). Or is it also vice-versa ???? my answer to that is no.
y??
take this example:
x^2 = 2^2
wat is x?
if i were to follow ur rule, then the obvious answer shud be 2 (of course!).
but wait is it really that way??
is 2 the only solution???
a big no
x = 2 or x = -2
this is a quadratic eq. rite???
so i shud hav 2 solns.
so following ur rule wud render the the generalisation useless bcoz of the mammoth exceptions that wud come with it.
but the generalisation that u can compare exponents when bases r same, shall always hold true - 'the right choice for a precise rule. aha!'
