What is Mathematics? From where
did it originate? What are its applications? How to apply Mathematics in
daily life? Many such questions arise in the minds of several students, out of
which many are answered on Google.
I myself was very curious to know all about it. Do you have the same curiosity? If your answer is yes then let’s begin the quest together. Once, I visited one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Taj Mahal Agra with some of my students. It looked splendid & the most astonishing aspect was that it looked the same from all four sides. My students asked, “how it’s possible sir?” How such an accurate
measurement, shape, and angles could be constructed in an era when they were having no specialized tools, technology & gadgets. It was pleasantly surprising to see my students notice such minute details! Its mathematics had created such a magnificent monument with so much attention to minute
intricacies.
I explained to my students, the concept of the illusion of solid angles. We all can observe this
illusion by observing a distant object through a narrow opening.
In the case of the Taj Mahal, when we are close to the door, the solid angle of the Taj Mahal is very small as compared to the solid angle of the door. That's why the Taj Mahal looks smaller to us. (In fact, the Taj Mahal is not at all small, instead, it becomes relatively smaller as compared to the door).
When we go away from the door the solid angle of the Taj Mahal and the door gets closer in their values, so we find the Taj Mahal getting larger. Taj Mahal remains of the same size but as we
move away, the door looks smaller to us that makes The Taj Mahal getting larger.
I hope, now the concept of symmetry of the Taj Mahal is clear to you all.
