My M.Sc Project Memories














Chua's Circuit.. That was my project about..

Chaotic systems are very much sensitive to initial condition that a slight difference in it can lead to unpredictable final state..

What makes it so special?

Everything we see around us is non linear..including the heart beats and brain activity....

Why Chua's circuit?

There was a time when Chaos was considered as mere mathematical fallacy or computer error.. As something far from reality...
Then, Lorentz predicted that weather was chaotic.. we can predict it only to certain extent..as it is extremely sensitive to initial conditions..

Then came the Chua's circuit...the first simplest circuit that proves chaos is a real world model and not an error of precision..and it exhibit a wide range of bifurcation. To put it simple, it shows different waveforms on changing a single parameter...Resistor..and keeping the rest a constant...from a point to the double scroll attractor...
{Attractors are set of physical properties which a system ends up in..}

It is so "simple" that I didnt get it at first..nor the second or third time...
And I kept asking my guide, Sharmaji all sorts of silly doubts and some careless mistakes.. 
Then...one fine morning..repeatedly doing... The waveforms presented it in its most beautiful form.... 

And thus ended the experimental part.. :)
The photos that I took of the waves and attractors.

Looking back now, the best time was the time when I didn't get it... Desparately doing again and again... Alone. Spending too much time on those days, I loved the subject with the limited knowledge I had. 

:) :)
I named the blog for the love of the subject and a reminder that our world is indeed chaotic. A silght change in a single parameter can bring in big difference, even in life.. That's how a NET aspirant ended up doing B.Ed for the love of TEACHING.

WEEKLY REFLECTION: JANUARY 22 TO JANUARY 23, 2018

Image
Ø Dates of Practice:                   From January 22 To January 23,2018 Ø Coverage of Curricular Components: I was able to cover three lesson plans. The topic of the lesson plans are as follows: 1.      Organic and Inorganic Compounds – Carbon and Its Compounds- IX. F1 based on Concept Attainment Model 2.      Arrangement of resistors- Current Electricity- IX. J based on Inquiry Training Model 3.      Carbon Cycle – Carbon and Its Compounds- IX. F1 based on Role Play model Ø Progress of other practicals during the week: The analysis part of the project was carried out during the week. Innovative work was demonstrated to students of class IX.J. Innovative work 2 was presented to students of class IX.F1. Ø Special Responsibilities undertaken: As a small token of our gratitude to the school, we collected about twenty books and contributed to t...

WEEKLY REFLECTION: JANUARY 8 TO JANUARY 12, 2018

Ø Dates of Practice:                       From January 08 to January 12, 2018 Ø Coverage of Curricular Components: I was able to cover four lesson plans in the week which includes: 1.      Ohm’s Law - Current Electricity- IX.J 2.      Resistors - Current Electricity- IX.J 3.      Reaction of hydrogen chloride and identification of chloride salt- Compounds of non-metals – IX.F1 4.      Nitric acid – Compounds of non- metals – IX. F1 Ø Progress of other practicals during the week: Achievement test on the chapter Acid, Alkalies and Salts were carried out on January 10, 2018 for the class IX. F1.  The Physical education lesson was taken on the same day. Ø Self-Reflection: I could complete four lesson plans during the week. I was able to make teaching aids effectively. Students were particularly interested with the ...
