Drawing Lines

I have done many experiments. 

Today, I did on Beta functions. 

Here is the write up.

Width experiment


You may be aware that I have done three experiments with my fingers and hand.

One was lifting dumbbell with left hand. It helped me get an expression for 1 and new expression for e to the power x.

Second one was lifting dumbbell with right hand. It helped me with expression of 2. The most difficult. 

Third one was lifting okras with left hand fingers. This helped me in understanding gamma function.  And because gamma functions were termed equivalent to beta functions it improved my knowledge tremendously. 

Today I did the fourth experiment. 

Measuring width of an object with finger width. 

Distance            No. Of fingers

1 full distance        1 finger width

1/2 distance             2 finger width

1/4 distance             3 finger width 

The third reading was surprising.  I thought it will be 4 finger width but surprisingly it was 3 finger width. 

So 1 by m to the power of n of distance.  And n is the number of fingers.

Simple experiment.  But far reaching learning.

Lifting Okras with left hand

My left hand is relatively neutral.
You may recall that I have done two body experiments earlier. If not, you need to search for them in my blogs.
This is the third experiment. Lifting Okras with left hand.
The results are :-
Thumb and pointing finger - 1 okra lifted
Thumb and pointing finger and middle finger - 2 Okras lifted
Thumb and pointing finger and middle finger and ring finger - 6 Okras lifted
The whole left hand - 20 Okras lifted
Recall 1!,2!,3!,4!
4! did not come. Not 24 but 20 is the result.
But the experiment opened my eyes to Taylor series once again.
