Thought-Process to Discover Knowledge

Welcome to nubtrek.

Books and other education websites provide "matter-of-fact" knowledge. Instead, nubtrek provides a thought-process to discover knowledge.

In each of the topic, the outline of the thought-process, for that topic, is provided for learners and educators.

Read in the blogs more about the unique learning experience at nubtrek.

User Guide

Welcome to nubtrek.

The content is presented in small-focused learning units to enable you to
think,
figure-out, &
learn.

User Guide

To make best use of nubtrek, understand what is available.

nubtrek is designed to explain mathematics and science for young readers. Every topic consists of four sections.

nub,

trek,

jogger,

exercise.

User Guide

nub is the simple explanation of the concept.

This captures the small-core of concept in simple-plain English. The objective is to make the learner to think about.

User Guide

trek is the step by step exploration of the concept.

Trekking is bit hard, requiring one to sweat and exert. The benefits of taking the steps are awesome. In the trek, concepts are explained with exploratory questions and your thinking process is honed step by step.

User Guide

jogger provides the complete mathematical definition of the concepts.

This captures the essence of learning and helps one to review at a later point. The reference is available in pdf document too. This is designed to be viewed in a smart-phone screen.

User Guide

exercise provides practice problems to become fluent in the concepts.

This part does not have much content as of now. Over time, when resources are available, this section will have curated and exam-prep focused questions to test your knowledge.

Starting on learning "Application Scenario of Derivative". In this page, the application scenario of derivatives is explained with examples.

One of the fundamental aspects of science is to measure and specify quantities. Some examples are

•  mass of an object: 20 gram

•  temperature of water: 30^@ Celsius

•  the amount of time taken: 3 seconds

•  the amount of distance traveled: 20 meter

•  the speed of a car : 20meter per second

Which one in the following is a measurement?

• predecessor of 7 is 6
• length of a pen is 10cm

The answer is " Length of a pen is 10 centimeters".

A pen can be used to write 30 pages. How many pages one can write with 4 pens?

• 4xx30
• 120
• both the above

A pen can be used to write 30 pages.
In this "number of pen" is a cause and "write a number of pages" is an effect.

This is an example of cause and effect pair.

Can you identify a cause-effect pair in the following?

• Volume of Paint and painted area
• Number of tickets sold and the money collected in the sale
• speed of a car and distance covered in an hour
• all the above

The answer is "all the above".

2 liter of paint is required to paint 3 square meter. If 14 liter paint is available, how much area can be painted?

• 14 xx 3/2
• 14 xx 2/3

The answer is "14 xx 3/2"

•  The "area painted" is the effect.

•  The "volume of paint" is the cause.

•  The cause-effect relation is defined by a function involving multiplication by a constant.
text(area) = text(volume) xx 3/2.

Everyday, a hotel sends a worker to buy eggs from market. The eggs are priced at 1 coin each and the worker charges 5 coins for the travel to buy eggs. How many coins are to be given to buy 120 eggs?

• 120 coins
• 125 coins

The answer is "125 coins".

•  The "coins" is the effect.

•  The "number of eggs" is the cause.

•  The cause-effect relation is defined by a function involving addition of a constant.
text(coins) =  text(number of eggs) xx text( price per egg)  + 5

A car is moving in a straight line at constant speed. It is at a distance 10m at 20sec and at a distance 20m at 25sec. The "effect" distance is given and the "cause" speed is to be computed. What is the speed?

• speed =(20m-10m)/(25sec-20sec)
• speed cannot be computed as only the distance traveled is given

The answer is "speed =(20m-10m)/(25sec-20sec)".

•  The distance traveled is the effect.

•  The speed is cause.

•  The cause-effect relation is defined by a function involving rate of change.

text(speed) = (text(speed2) - text(speed1))/(text(time2)-text(time1))

A car is moving in a straight line at constant speed. It has a velocity of 2 m/sec for first 3 seconds and 4 m/sec for the next 1 sec. What is the distance traveled in the 4 seconds?

• =2m//sec xx 3 sec quad + 4m//sec xx 1 sec
• distance cannot be computed as the speed is only given

The answer is "=2m//sec xx 3 sec quad + 4m//sec xx 1 sec"

•  The distance traveled is the effect.

•  The speed is cause.

•  The cause-effect relation is defined by a function involving aggregate of change.

text(distance) = text(speed1) xx text(time1)quad + text(speed2) xx text(time2)

From the examples, it is understood that, Definition of function as an expression involves

•  multiplication and division

•  exponents and roots

Apart from these arithmetic operations, quantities may be related by "rate of change" and "aggregate of change". These two topics are covered in differential and integral calculus respectively.

In the differential calculus, the "rate of change" is explained.

The answer is "all the above".
2 liter of paint is required to paint 3 square meter. If 14 liter paint is available, how much area can be painted?
14 times 3 by 2
14 times 2 by 3
The answer is 14 times 3 by 2 ;; The area painted is the effect. ;; The volume of paint is the cause. ;; The cause-effect is relation defined by a function involving multiplication by a constant. area equals volume in to 3 by 2 .

speed cannot be computed as only the distance traveled is given
The answer is "speed equals 20 meter minus 10 meter by 25 second minus 20 second". ;; The distance traveled is the effect. ;; The speed is cause. ;; The cause-effect relation is defined by a function involving rate of change speed ; equals ; speed two minus speed one ; by ; time two minus time one.

The answer is "distance equals 2 meter per second into 3 second plus 4 meter per second into 1 second" ;; The distance traveled is the effect. ;; The speed is cause. ;; The cause-effect is relation defined by a function involving aggregate of change. ; distance ; equals ; speed one into time1 ; + ; speed 2 into time2
From the examples, it is understood that, Definition of function as an expression involves ;; addition and subtraction ;; multiplication and division ;; exponents and roots Apart from these arithmetic operations, quantities may be related by rate of change and aggregate of change.
