The beauty of mathematics

The Beauty of Mathematics




Just the math part is good enough, the end is even better.
1 x 8 + 1 = 9

12 x 8 + 2 = 98

123 x 8 + 3 = 987

1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876

12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765

123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654

1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543

12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432

123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321



1 x 9 + 2 = 11

12 x 9 + 3 = 111

123 x 9 + 4 = 1111

1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111

12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111

123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111

1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111

12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111

123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111



9 x 9 + 7 = 88

98 x 9 + 6 = 888

987 x 9 + 5 = 8888

9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888

98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888

987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888

9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888

98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888



Brilliant, isn ' t it?



And look at this symmetry:



1 x 1 = 1

11 x 11 = 121

111 x 111 = 12321

1111 x 1111 = 1234321

11111 x 11111 = 123454321

111111 x 111111 = 12345654321

1111111 x 1111111 =1234567654321

11111111 x 11111111 =123456787654321

111111111 x 111111111 =12345678987654321



Mind Boggling...







Now, take a look at this...



101%



>From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:



What Equals 100%?



What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?



Ever wonder about those people who say they

Are giving more than 100%?



We have all been in situations where someone wants you to



GIVE OVER 100%...



How about ACHIEVING 101%?



What equals 100% in life?



Here ' s a little mathematical formula that might help

Answer these questions:



If:



A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z



Is represented as:



1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.



Then:



H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K



8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%



And:



K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E



11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%



But:



A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E



1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%



THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:



L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 =101%



Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:



While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will

Get you there, It ' s the Love of God that will put you over the top!
