Bear And Vector Calculus

Hi everyone

The art of science, music, and drama is called Muthamil. These arts are like a wild flood. When we regularise it we can achieve specific goals. When this art of Muthtamil is added to our education system, and start teaching science and maths, fast learning occurs among the students.

Learning through story narration is one of the traditions of the Tamils. The introduction of western educational system made the traditional way of learning maths and science to disappear. In an attempt to recover this traditional way of learning by Prof. Dr. R Prabakaran is highly appreciative.

Texts of immortal glory should be composed in Tamil language says Mahakavi Bharathiar. Prof. R. Prabakaran has made Mahakavi’s dream come true by writing a book of a different genre that has never been done so far. He has written the first Tamil mathematical book that narrates engineering mathematics as a story.

First of all I would like to express my congratulations for this good endeavour. The narration of vector calculus - a branch of engineering mathematics is fantastic. One interesting element in this story is the bear measuring the mountain and making an equation on a mountain surface.

Conversation between Jumbo and Samba and their comedy are enjoyable. The author’s use of storm and waterfall in teaching is a golden touch in this story. Generally in wildlife it is the natural beauty that seeks the attention of all. But the author’s magic has diverted our attention to math in this wild life story.

I request Prof Dr. R. Prabakaran to write many such Tamil books that teach science and maths. This kind of book is a gift for students studying in Tamil. And I wish that these books are included in the students’ textbooks. I am glad to know that Prof Dr. R. Prabakaran is translating many scientific books to Tamil through his Scientific Tamil Translation Movement.

I pray Lord for his work to be successful ever.

Dr.P.Govindasamy,
