    Believe it or not, some people (myself included) find mathematics beautiful. Sometimes you just stare at equations (e.g., Schroedinger’s equation and admire their beauty even if you don’t fully comprehend their deepest meanings – just as you can admire a Picasso painting or a Mozart symphony. See this page for some nice quotes.

    11th and 12th, used to attend tution centre for Math, where medium of teaching was Tamil. The teacher was so good I could understand as good as Tamil guys if not better. He did use a few English words.

    3x….

    Schrödinger equation a mi kha enge….looks like a Y or a Fork…lolz…H thaichhiat te pawh a awm….lolz…ka hrethiamlo nasa….

    upside down pyramid square root te kha enge ni ta ang…awiii…ka bo map….

    keichu class 10th passed ka chak chhan ber kha maths leh science xir loh kha nia….

    hello virgobabe ;)

    the fork-like thing is the greek letter “psi” (sai in mizo)

    h thaichhiat kha “h-bar” an tia, it’s the “reduced” Planck’s constant.

    upside down pyramid is the del or “nabla” operator.

    Schrödinger equation is, to a very good approximation, the equation of life!

    Schrödinger equation a “fork” ang deuh kha chu Greek letter “psi” a nih kha.

    H thaichhiat kha “h-bar” an tia; it’s the reduced Planck’s constant.

    Upside down pyramid hi del operator an ti.

    To a good approximation, Schrödinger equation is the equation of life; people haven’t quite figured out how to extract things like love from it yet :)

    3x,

    thanks for the explanation, even though i STILL did not understand much :D…

    thank gawd u didnt haf a ‘psi’ , an ‘h-bar’ or a ‘del’ in ur nick….3x is complicated enuff to confuse me….

    do let me know wen *people*(read 3x) figured out how to extract love from Schrödinger equation….

    *muaaaah*
