[H358]High Speed Internet And Phone

by J Hall, J H

There are a lot of great resources available through the Internet. These resources come in the form of a variety of entertainment like streaming video, video downloads, Internet radio stations, downloadable music and podcasts, online multiplayer video games, virtual worlds, online shopping, computer support resources, and online encyclopedias and other sources of information. All of these different resources represents a ton of information and entertainment and connectivity to other people, and these resources, in all likelihood will continue to grow in the future. In order to take full advantage of all of these online resources, you need a high speed Internet connection in your own home. In fact, with the growing number of highly data intensive applications on the Web, you need the fastest, most reliable high speed Internet connection possible. Getting a reliable Internet connection that's truly high speed is easier said than done though. That's because there are a number of different types of technology that all qualify as high speed Internet, but don't really deliver on the level that is needed now and will be needed in the future.

One example of Internet connection technology that's supposedly high speed is DSL. DSL is delivered over conventional phone lines and can reach speeds of up to one and a half megabytes per second, but is often much slower. Because of that limited bandwidth, it's less than ideal for a number of different applications.

Another Internet connection technology is satellite Internet. It can be slightly faster than DSL, but it requires extremely expensive equipment and expensive on a monthly basis. While the high bandwidth that satellite Internet can provide may be attractive, the fact that it has a substantial lag time because of the distance that signals have to travel to and from the satellites, makes it a poor choice for many applications like VoIP and online gaming.

The other major Internet connection technology that's available to residential customers is cable based broad band Internet. This technology delivers Internet access using the same technology that brings digital cable TV into your home, and for that reason, is delivered by digital cable TV companies like Comcast. Comcast's cable based broad band Internet service is superior to both satellite and DSL Internet access in several different ways. The most noticeable difference is that it's several times faster than either of the other technologies. In fact at eight megabytes per second, it's four times faster than the best that satellite Internet can do. Combine that with the fact that cable based broadband is cheaper and able to support VoIP and online gaming, and it's definitely the better choice for most people.

Cable based broad band from Comcast also has a number of advantages over DSL. It's at least six times faster than DSL, and while slightly more expensive, it really delivers a lot more speed for the money. Also, the fact that DSL requires a phone line drags the price of DSL up beyond that of Comcast's service. This difference in price is especially noticeable when you take the fact that broad band cable Internet may allow you to do without a phone line entirely and rely on VoIP for your phone service instead.

Another interesting fact about Comcast Digital Cable is that it allows you to bundle its high speed Internet service together with home phone service and digital cable TV service. That way you can save money while having the convenience of only dealing with one company for all of these needs.

THE 10 MOST OFTEN ASKED QUESTIONS….!

INTRODUCTION:

It is a well known fact that our country (Bharath) stands aloft with its rich cultural heritage since thousands of years. Our Ancient Seers & Scientists have made wonderful contributions in the field of Science & Technology also. In spite of these glorious achievements, our people including the so-called educated have a dismal knowledge about the Scientific & Technological achievements and do everything to curb the professional growth of these.

After nearly one and a half decades of dedicated research, I found that the following facts and truths about the Vedic / Ancient Indian Mathematics have to be brought to light for a proper understanding and appreciation of the same in a proper perspective.

The facts are given in a nutshell as under.

Q1. What is 'Vedic' or 'Ancient Indian Mathematics'?

Ans: 'Vedic Mathematics' basically consists of Mathematical concepts, methods and techniques embodied in the Vedic & Upanishadic literature. These are expressed in terms of Mantras and Sutras (Aphorisms), in subtle forms.

Ancient Indian Mathematics refers to post Vedic & medieval times up to the 19th century. Some of the greatest names are Aryabhata, Brahmagupta, Bhaskaracharya (I & II), Sridharacharya, Madhavacharya, Mahaveeracharya, Narayana Pandita etc., The mathematical concepts, methods, postulates, theorems and techniques are expressed in terms of Slokas; which are Lyrically beautiful, but mathematically precise! And also in terms of Sutras & coded literature.

Q2 What is the scope of VM/AIM?

Ans: The scope extends right from the fundamental Arithmetic to Algebra, Geometry Trigonometry, Calculus (Integral and Differential), Biquadratics, solution of Polynomials, Astronomy, Graph theory to some computer based numerical methods. The Nyaya Sastras & MIMAMSA are the veritable source of knowledge in the fields of NLP & NLU and Artificial Intelligence.

03. What is the relevance of VM / AIM in the present world of advanced mathematics and computer science and technology? Is it just historical?

Ans: VM / AIM present a novel, creative approach to understanding and solving the problems; right from the basic to the advanced level and open up new Vistas of knowledge.

a) They are chosen based on their superiority over the conventional methods on the following criteria.

i) Step size ii) Step length iii) Computational time

iv) Elegance and v) Novelty.

b) Incidentally, the Ancient Indian Scientists have discovered many mathematical concepts and techniques, centuries before their modern counter parts!

0 4. What is the methodology of presentation?

Ans: VM / AIM are expressed in terms of modern mathematical notations to make them user friendly and original references are provided to make them authentic.

Q 5. How stable are the methods and techniques?

Ans: They have stood the test of time for centuries and continue to inspire and challenge even now.

Q 6. Does one need to be very good in maths to learn this?

Ans: Not necessary. Students, with lesser aptitude, who used to score low marks, have found it very interesting and user friendly. The scores have improved very much even with little training.

Q 7. What is the feed back from the teachers?

Ans: In fact, they have wholeheartedly welcomed VM / AIM, since they are highly creative, ultra fast, give different dimension to teaching of maths. Reports confirm that, in about 50-60% of the time, the present syllabi can be effectively & efficiently covered! They strongly recommend the introduction of VM/AIM in the school curriculum.

Q 8. What about college students?

Ans: It is a boon to all the candidates of competitive exams. They can clear the paper in about 60-70% of the time, with 100% accuracy.

They can adopt many of these methods in their curriculum like calculus, computer based numerical methods etc. They can also work on the projects based on the application of VM/AIM.

Q 9. In spite of all these benefits, why is it not finding its place in the curriculum?

Ans: i) Apathy towards our own heritage.

ii) People at the helm of affairs have cynical and passive attitude towards VM/AIM; resulting in curbing of genuine researchers.

iii) Lack of organizational support.

iv) Authentic course material and syllabi have to be professionally designed.

Q 10. What is the future of VM/AIM?

Ans: a) The future is very bright. Already about 20 Universities like Birmingham, Philadelphia, Oslo, Zurich, Munchen, Sydney, Heidelberg, London School of Economics etc., have introduced VM/AIM in their curriculum.

b) Serious R & D works are going on.

c) The number of International Conferences on Ancient Indian Science and Mathematics are on steady increase.

d) In India also, barring, a very few organizations supporting R & D works, lot of individuals are doing R & D works on these.

e) There is a tremendous scope for India to lead the world in education to bring the best results.

Incidentally learning of VM/AIM removes the fear psychosis in maths and the whole world is looking towards India for its valuable contribution.

Incidentally, the Scientists have reported that, learning of VM/AIM enhances the right brain activities and makes children more creative.

Come! Let us collectively spread this wonderful Ancient Indian Mathematics through out the world….
