Today (June 26th, 2015) I went to see one of my favorite teachers — Prof. Gilbert Strang. One day in 2009, while I was watching his Linear Algebra video lectures (http://ocw.mit.edu/…/math…/18-06-linear-algebra-spring-2010/) in a quiet corner of my room, I started to realize an extraordinary beauty was slowly unfolding in front of me. I felt a deep gratitude for this person who introduced me to this beauty. That day I promised, someday, I will see him face-to-face and say “Thank You”. That is exactly what I have done today. This was on my Bucket list for quite some time and now it is …

Self-Quotes
It doesn’t matter what we are capable to do, or what our inner potential is. The only thing that matters is what we do. The future grandiose plan can not change the world — the small tasks that we do everyday, can.
We haven’t forgotten; we will not forget
As a citizen of Bangladesh, we will not forget the genocide, war-crime, and mass killing of the intellectuals (Teachers, Students, Journalists, Doctors, Engineers, Cultural activists) conducted in Bangladesh by Pakistani Army in the name of the religion — Islam. Starting from Operation Searchlight (Conducted in 25th March 1971 where they massacred the unarmed progressive minds of Dhaka University), Pakistani army killed 3 Million people in just 9 months — one of the greatest atrocities on human after the Holocaust.

Everything is Nice and Pretty (Linear) in Higher Dimension
All the twists (non-linearity) come from the lack in “space” in the low dimensional world. “Heaven” must be in an infinite dimensional space.
My Research and ..
I want to understand behaviors of human through mathematical analysis. I dream of a unified theory of human behaviors. It may sound ridiculous to some people. Especially considering the “Interpretivist” movements in the discipline of behavioral science, perhaps, my research is not the right direction to move on. Despite, I am interested in this topic due to the huge number of potential applications I can see. It is my way of staying foolish. I’m an engineer working on Human-Computer Interaction where people are fascinated by both human and technology. Therefore, I want to explain human’s actions using mathematics. It is a difficult task because of …

Positive Infinity and Negative Infinity
Recently, I watched a BBC documentary named “Horizon: Infinity” that illustrates several concepts of infinity. These are some thoughts that have been perplexing humans for a really long time. The most common facts about infinity are usually expressed using a concept of an infinitely large hotel – which has infinitely many rooms. Even when that hotel is full, it is possible to make room for 1, N or infinitely many new customers. How? If you need N rooms, tell all the existing customers to shift in room number i+N, where i is their current room number. You’ll get N free rooms (1 to N). If you need infinite …
Nabbing the Names
Every human being has to be named … and there are many conventions for naming a person depending on the place (s)he lives in. As a result, when people move from one place to another, they may fall in weird situations. Here are some of my personal experiences.
