Will you note the occasion?

Question

Early next week - 58 minutes after midnight on Monday, according to one calculation - Bradman would turn 99.94, his Test batting average, and at least two functions in Sydney will celebrate the event.

Will you take note of the occasion? Is anyone in Sydney going to one of the functions?

Answer 1

WHAT AN AMAZING CALCULATION

i guess lods of advance engineering mathematics must have been used  in this

it looks like related rate problem

Related rates problems require a person to have a strong understanding of differentiation, function, and variable, and their application beyond strictly computational problems. It has been suggested that people do not fully understand the concepts of differentiation or variable .

generally people have particular difficulty with the conceptual aspects of solving related rates problems, especially those requiring the solving of an auxiliary problem. For example, person may have difficulty identifying the need to use similar triangles to relate specific variables prior to expressing the volume of a cone in terms of radius. or a person tended to have a “manipulation focus” when solving these types of problems, that is, they merely searched for symbols they could push around with known acceptable operations. Frequently, the symbols carried no meaning for people

Simon (1994) claims that transformational reasoning is a critical component of mathematics learning and understanding. The idea behind transformational reasoning is that students can create a mental model that can be manipulated to visualize and understand relationships. As Simon states, “Central to transformational reasoning is the ability to consider, not a static state, but a dynamic process by which a new state or a continuum of states are generated.” (pg 5) It seems plausible that this applies to solving related rates problems, as students must understand how particular quantities are changing in the given problem.

To solve a related rates problem, the student must be able to understand the concepts of variable and function. It is also important that students recognize geometric relationships in the situation, and are able to understand and apply implicit differentiation. The notion of variable is key to being able to appropriately label a diagram and construct the necessary relationships. From here, the concept of function must be utilized to create a function in terms of the desired variable. It is my hypothesis that these first two steps rely heavily on the students’ transformational reasoning skills. After a desirable function has been established, the student may then apply the tools of implicit differentiation and solve the problem.

I salute that aussie ,who did such a complex analysis and reached such an amazing conclusion

it should be celebrated.

RIP DON BRADMAN

Answer 2

The Carbine Club Bradman  Birthday Luncheon is one of the events to take place and A series of books, dinners, orations and even a coin have been planned to mark the 100th anniversary of Bradman's birth, in Cootamundra, NSW, on August 27

Answer 3

good thing to celebrate

Answer 4

yes, i live in Sydney and i might go there to pay tribute to the legend!

god bless!

best wishes!

Answer 5

Rest in peace Late dony Bradman

May god save his soul   from Insane spirits.

Answer 6

Huge occasion - is there a function is Melbourne?

Edit: Its ok... i forgot that i have camp next week - so even if there was one - i probably wouldn't be able to attend it!!

Answer 7

how amazing imagine being Sir Donald Bradman. Years after he's left us he's still the most respected cricketer.

Answer 8

Some people have WAY too much time on their hands...
