that was not a fluke...

whats worth in learning when we end up mugging up things like when so and so happens use this and when this is the case solve like this???
bessel,legendre equations etc,etc...we know when to solve using which formula but we cant get the feel of WHY??...how bessel came at the conclusion,when he encountered the problem which could not be solved by earlier methods and hence he have to give a method....i mean this feeling is the real thing...after this semester i wont remember a single formula and condition!then whats worth in gaining this FEELINGLESS EXPERIENCE!
why dont they give us unsolved problems in our course and evaluate us on the progress made in it by seeing our work,this will be a real contribution...by now i would have already received critics like "ARE U GETTING EVERYTHING WHAT THEY ARE TEACHING NOW IN MATHEMATICS"...
LET ME TELL YOU A SHORT AND 'HANDSOME' STORY:
this dates back to 1st sem exam...me ,ashish and arpit were solving the then most difficult problems of mechanics with a hope that only a miracle can solve it with pens down! then one of my 4 cgpa frnd came and said lemme try,suddenly arpit got annoyed and said u dont even know the formula's (no intensions just coz their were many formula's),obviously he dint had mechanics in that sem,but he did something out of the box,with a different feeling by visualising the situation  and we thought that it was a fluke but now i am writing this coz he is in IITD (thats a proof for society,but i knew his credentials and this FEELING)...by now i am clear why he failed in 2 subjects...and yeah he was not meant to study at NIT CALICUT,he left in the middle.....though i was a bit startled when i came to know that he is not satisfied their also....well life is a learning process and i have learned a lot with a hope that we are here to shift our benchmarks every time.....hope you land at some good place with satisfaction...:) and yes that was 'handsome'
dont know what i am doing by simply learning the names???
