In the morning, Anusha told dad about her opinion about curved lines. Dad said “ You are right. Curved lines are much advanced as compared to straight lines. Geometry at elementary level is about straight lines. We draw triangles, quadrangles, polygons with straight lines. We can calculate their areas easily by using simple formulas.
But if we draw triangles, quadrangles, polygons with curved lines, It becomes very difficult to find their areas. In nature there are no straight lines. All things in nature can be drawn only by using curved lines. We can draw exact copies of same shapes on paper but in nature we do not find copies of shapes. Every thing in nature is of different shape and size.
Every natural sand particle is of different shape.
Even if we take one tree with thousand leaves, every leaf is of different size and shape.
Thus everything in nature every hill, every river, every cloud, every insect, every animal, every man is different from each other.
Just as you are too young to understand even elementary geometry of straight lines, Science and Maths are also too young to learn the mystery of nature. That is why, scientists are struggling to find new rules for curved lines and mathematicians are busy in developing formulas for shapes with curved lines. You should first learn to draw shapes with straight lines. That will help you in painting houses, temples and big buildings.”
Dad’s lecture was bumper to Anusha. But her opinion about curved lines changed. She decided to give them first benches in the classroom.
Anusha wanted to become scientist or engineer. She thought of building 3 dimensional shapes with the help of children in her magic math school. She had seen different such shapes in science museum. She asked three line girls to join corners of two triangles. She could build prism shape. She tried similar experiment with polygons. When she joined two edges of circles by two straight lines, She could build cylinder.
For developing pyramids, She asked help of point. Lines were used to join this point with all corners of triangle or polygon. When she used one point and joined it with lines to sides of oval, she got cone.
Now she understood how to build three dimensional shapes with points, lines and other high standard children of her magic math school.
