In our day to day conversatio n we often comment that a particular individual is intelligent or he/she is not intelligent at all. All we do are our mere observations of the performance or the behavi our of the individual. Intelligence in psychology is general mental ability involved in calculating, reasoning, perceiving relationships and analogies,learning quickly, storing and retrieving information, using language fluently, classifying, generalizing and adjusting to new situations.  Take a quiz to know more about it https://forms.gle/HdQ8WA1x32E9bfco9 Notes on Intelligence (PDF) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XN14H9qCgmduaAAs39Vwa46gfNTP4ZJj/view?usp=sharing Also read: http://blogstoreadfromshichan.blogspot.com/2020/05/what-is-growth-and-development.html

Doing mathematics without understanding the basic concept is quite boring. Here are the three most important terms that form the basis of mathematics. What are Axioms? An axiom or postulate is a statement that is taken to be true to serve as a base or starting point for further reasoning and argument. An axiom is a fact and these do not need proofs. Why do we need an Axiom?   It severs as basis for ‘formal system’. A framework to prove or drive further theorems.   Most importantly, to enable ourselves to do maths. E.g.   In Euclidean geometry, following are the axioms.   Given two distinct points, there is exactly one line that contains them. All right angles are equal to each other. Etc. What is Conjecture? A conjecture is a conclusion or proposition that is suspected to be true based on the observations but no proof or disproof has yet been found.      It is more like a hypothesis.     Conjecture is based on inductive reas...
