Chinchillas are slightly tiny animals looking like squirrels, and are native to the Andes mountains in
South America. The chinchilla is named after the Chincha people of the Andes, who once wore velvet-like
fur. People love to have chinchillas as pets because they are extremely soft. Their fur is thick and feels
like velvet. Its fur can be up to 80 times as thick as other animals. Unfortunately, because chinchillas’
fur is so soft to touch, many people try to use chinchillas’ fur to make clothing and blankets. Chinchillas’
fur also comes in many different colours, which makes it even more desirable. Chinchillas have a long life
span and can live up to 20 years. Chinchillas can sometimes be difficult to own, however. They are soft,
so you have to be careful while holding them. Chinchillas are largely nocturnal, which means they will
be most active at night. You must be gentle to gain the trust of a chinchilla. It can take some time to get
any chinchilla used to your hands. So if you plan to own a chinchilla, be patient.

Algebra, algorithm, quadratic equation, sine function ... just some of the terms of math which would not be known to us but for Al-Khwarizmi, an astronomer, geographer and founder of several branches and basic concepts of mathematics. In Geography he revised and corrected Ptolemy’s view and produced the first map of the known world in 830 AD. He worked on measuring the volume and capacity of the earth, and contributed to work related to clocks, sundials and astrolabes. His full name is Abu Abdallah Muhammad ibn Musa Al-Khwarizmi. The last-mentioned name refers to his birthplace, Khwarizm, south of the Aral Sea. He was born around 780 in the town of Kath, part of Khwarizm. Kath is now buried in the sand. He died around 850. He was sent to Baghdad by Caliph Al-Ma’mun and appointed court astronomer. Algebra derived its name from the title of his work “Hisab Al-Jabr wal Muqabalah”.

Learning something new can be a scary experience. One of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do was learning how to swim. I was always afraid of the water, but I decided that swimming was an important skill that I should learn. I also thought it would be good exercise and help me to become physically stronger. What I didn’t realize was that learning to swim would also make me a more confident person. New situations always make me a bit nervous, and my first swimming lesson was no exception. After I changed into my bathing suit in the locker room, I stood timidly by the side of the pool waiting for the teacher and other students to show up. After a couple of minutes the teacher came over. She smiled and introduced herself, and two more students joined us. Although they were both older than me, they didn’t seem to be embarrassed about not knowing how to swim. I began to feel more at ease.
