MATHEMATICS PROJECT COMPETITION
This is open to all students who are in forms 3 and 4 during the scholastic year 2009 − 2010.
The competition is open to teams of two students.
All participants will be awarded a school- based certificate of participation.
The best five entries will be chosen to represent the school in the national competition and will each receive a prize.
These five will be awarded a national certificate of participation.
Furthermore, the first three placed teams in the national competition will receive a prize.

Women Mathematicians
Sophie Germain(1776)
Initially, she worked on number theories and gave many an interesting theorems on prime numbers. Many such numbers are now called as "Sophie Germain primes".

FRACTALS
Fractals are, simply put, repetitions of an object or pattern at different scales. This concept and the math behind it have become studied more recently due to the availability of computer generated images. Fractals are beautiful to observe when created by computers, but are also readily observable in nature.

Gravitational orbits
The orbits of some of the planets (e.g., Venus) are ellipses of such small eccentricity that they are essentially circles, and we can put artificial satellites into orbit around the Earth with circular orbits if we choose.
The orbits of the planets generally are ellipses. Some comets have parabolic orbits; this means that
they pass the Sun once and then leave the Solar System, never to return.
The gravitational interaction between two passing stars generally results in hyperbolic trajectories for the two stars.
