SKILL INDIA: Indians are the best at Numbers

A General formula for Multiplication, Multiplication in three simple steps

 Indians have been famous for their mathematical skills since ancient times.

 Romith Rao has derived for the first time ever a general formula for multiplication and has devised a simple three step method to multiply any two numbers. The research has been published on his website http://www.romithrao.com.

www.romithrao.com  Let x and y be any two integers with integers u1 and u2 in their units place respectively.

Then       x*y= [(x-u₁)*(y-u₂)] + {[(x-u₁)* u2]+[(y-u₂)*u₁]} +u₁u_{2 .}

The formula has been derived by Mr. Romith Rao and the Paper has been submitted to the Journal of the Ramanujan Mathematical Society.

The formula is exceptional as it holds good for multiplying any two numbers from plus infinity to minus infinity. The simple three step method is very handy use for students appearing in competitive exams where a calculator is not allowed and time is a constraint.

Mr. Romith Rao is an engineer by qualification and an entrepreneur. He is the son of Shri J K Murthy, Retd. D M Finance DKMU (KMF Nandini) and Shrimati. Seetha Lakshmi and a student of Shri Ganesh Mallya Sir.

This research is definitely a great initiative in Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi’s ambitious “SKILL INDIA PROGRAM”. Quantitative skills and problem solving skills is a crucial skill for candidates to be employable by most employers.

Multiplying any two integers in three simple steps:

Consider any two integers x and y with u₁ and u₂  being the numerals in their unit’s place respectively_.

 Example 1:  127 * 63

Step1: multiply the numerals in the units’ place.. Now write the numeral in the unit’s place of the result in the unit’s place of the answer. Carry the remainder to the next step.

7*3 is 21.           Answer:      1

Step 2: Now ignore the numeral in the unit’s place and consider the new integers so formed which is 12 and 6. Now multiply these tow integers from the numeral in the units’ place of the other integer and add them together. Add the remainder from the previous step to this. Now place the numeral in the unit’s place of this result in the ten’s place of the answer. Carry the remainder to the next step.

i.e. (12*3) + (6*7) = 36+42 =78. 78+2 = 80 so place 0 in the tens’ place of the answer.  Answer:       01.

Step 3: multiply the two newly formed digits i.e. 12*6 = 72. Now add the remainder from the previous step. 72+8 = 80

Answer: 8001.

Example 2: 348 *85

Step 1: 8*5 = 40. Write 0 in the unit’s place of the answer. Carry 4 to step 2.  Answer:       0

Step 2: consider 34 and 8. (34*5) + (8*8) +4 = 170+64+4= 238. Now place 8 in the ten’s place of the answer and carry 23 to step 3.         Answer:  80

Step 3:  34*8= 272.   272 +23 = 295

Answer:  29580.

AISATS introduces e-freight at Kempegowda International Airport

Bengaluru, 24^th November 2014:  Air India SATS Airport Services Pvt. Ltd (AISATS), one of India’s premier airport services companies, has introduced an e-freight initiative at its Bengaluru (BLR) “Airfreight Terminal facility”.  With this launch, AISATS BLR takes a big step towards IATA’s e-freight initiative, building a paper-free air cargo supply chain and replacing it with cheaper, more accurate and more reliable electronic messaging.

To facilitate this, AISATS has incorporated its Airport Community System (ACS), a web-based electronic platformthat enables seamless electronic data interchange (EDI) between various stakeholders in the air cargo value chain.With this system in place, AISATS is well-equipped to do away with the traditional paper-based shipping data consolidation, and move towards electronic data management. 

With this online portal, freight forwarders and cargo handling agents will have complete shipment visibility and be able to send data demanded by multiple carriers, customs, airport operators electronically through a single portal without doing duplicating data entry efforts on separate platforms.  The ACS will also help in creating airline booking requests and sending the same electronically to the airlines including creating and printing of Master Air Waybill, House Air Waybills and Bar Code labels.  This is set to ease sending FWB / FHL messages to airlines as well as create and print customs clearance documents.

Mr. Willy Ko, CEO, AISATS, said, “Since its inception, AISATS hasalways been committed towards minimizing impact of its operational processes on the environment.  This e-freight initiative is yet another pro-active effort by AISATS and it is a big stride towardsfulfilling its desire to protect the environment.  Not only will this green initiative increase operational efficiency but it also help to preserve the environment by effectively reducing paperwork.  It takes efforts to change habits and we thank all the stakeholders for supporting and doing their part and together we managed to achieve this”.

By capturing the data on shipment electronically, this e-freight initiative will enhance stakeholders’ experience, optimize cargo operations, and rationalize unit costs with process efficiencies. This is a significant step towards improving efficiency while contributing towards environmental sustainability.
