IELTS

IELTS 'International English Language Testing System', is an international standardised test of English language proficiency,was established in 1989.
There are two versions of the IELTS: the Academic Version and the General Training Version:
A: The Academic Version is intended for those who want to enroll in universities and otheri nstitutions of higher education and for professionals such as medical doctors and nurses who want to study or practice in an English-speaking country.
B:The General Training Version is intended for those planning to undertake non-academic training or to gain work experience, or for immigration purposes.
It is generally acknowledged that the reading and writing tests for the Academic Version are more difficult than those for the General Training Version, due to the differences in the level of intellectual and academic rigour between the two versions.
IELTS is accepted by most Australian, British, Canadian, Irish, New Zealand and South African academic institutions, over 2,000 academic institutions in the United States, and various professional organisations. It is also a requirement for immigration to Australia and Canada. This has been criticised in Canada, because the English accents employed in the Listening section of the IELTS are far removed from typical Canadian accents.

IELTS TEST STRUCTURE

All candidates must complete four Modules - Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking - to obtain a Band, which is shown on an IELTS Test Report Form (TRF). All candidates take the same Listening and Speaking Modules, while the Reading and Writing Modules differ depending on whether the candidate is taking the Academic or General Training Versions of the Test.
The total test duration is around 2 hours and 45 minutes for Listening, Reading and Writing modules.Listening: 40 minutes, 30 minutes for which a recording is played centrally and additional 10 minutes for transferring answers onto the OMR answer sheet.Reading: 60 minutes.Writing: 60 minutes.
The first three modules - Listening, Reading and Writing (always in that order) - are completed in one day, and in fact are taken with no break in between. The Speaking Module may be taken, at the discretion of the test centre, in the period seven days before or after the other Modules.
The tests are designed to cover the full range of ability from non-user to expert user.

It all began in 1957 when the USSR launched the first artificial satellite called "Sputnik." In response, the US formed Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) as a branch of the Department of Defense to acquire the lead position in military technology. the US wanted to be able to control her nuclear arms remotely. ARPA founded a network of computers called "ARPANET" that had a backbone of 50 Kbps and 4 hosts to make this possible. What was then referred to as ARPANET evolved into the World Wide Web, which is constituted by millions of hosts as well as backbones such as 56Kbps, 1.544Mbps, 45Mpbs, and 155Mpbs lines, plus satellite and radio connections as of today. What is essential to us, is that the web uses "codes" and "decoders" to achieve this interaction. Every web page contains special markup (codes) that determine how it looks and what it contains; and every web browser (i.e. Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Mozilla, Opera, etc.) is a decoder that can read the code and produce an adequate output (i.e. what you are reading right now is an output of the code that constitutes this web page).

STUDY IN USA

Over the past three years the number of international students enrolling in U.S. institutions of higher education has grown by almost 7% to a record high in 2001 of 547,867. Currently China and India are the major countries of origin for international students in the U.S. Not too long ago in the late 1970's Iran and Nigeria, awash in petrodollars, were the leading sending countries, and before that in the 1960's it was Canada. More recently in the Mid 80's as Asia's Tiger economies started to roar, Taiwan, Malaysia and Korea were the three leading places of origin sending almost 20% of all international students to the US.
For the third year in a row, China has led the growth of international student enrollment as the top sending country (up 10%, to 59,939). India, which increased by more than 29% (to 54,664) this year, had the largest growth of the top 20 sending countries and for the first time has surpassed Japan as the second-leading sender of foreign students.
While student enrollment from Japan fell nearly 1% to 46,497, the country remained the third-largest sender despite the large growth of students sent by Korea (up nearly 11% to 45,685). The number of students from Korea had decreased markedly (by 9%, to 39,199 in 1998-99) due to the Asian economic downturn, but has now surpassed its previous high after two years of growth.
Japan had the largest number of students in the United States for four years (1995-98), but the number of students has shown small increases or even slight decreases over the past eight years, and Japan was surpassed by China last year and India this year.

kinematics

it derived from a greek word kineia which means to move ,
in kinematics we describe the motion of bodies without considring the cause or reason of motion .
MOTION:If a body is constently changing its position with respect to its surrounding then the body is said to be in the state of motion .
REST:If a body does not change its position with respect to its surrounding then the body is said to be in the state of rest.
TYPES OF MOTION: 1, linear motion
2, Circuler motion
3, Vibrational motion

KINEMATICS

kinematics is derived from a Greek word KINEIA which mean , to move, it is a branch of classical mechanics which describes the motion of bodies without considration of the causes leading to the motion.
Now if we are studing motion we must know what it is .
MOTION:If a body constently changing its position with respect to its surroundings then the body is said to be in the state of motion.
TYPES OF MOTION: 1, Linear motion
2, Circuler motion
3, vibrational motion

NEWTONS THIRD LAW OF MOTION

iT STATS ,
To every action there is an equale but opposite reaction
it is our every day experience if we hit a ball on the wall it will come back and with the same speed.

NEWTONS SECOND LAW OF MOTION

Newton satats second law of motin as,
If we apply a force on a body it it will accelerate in the direction of applied force , the megnitude of acceleration is directly proportional to the megnitude of applied force.
Consider a body of mass m is placed on the surface afoce F is applied on it
F is directly proportional a
F=ma

NEWTONS FIRSY LAW OF MOTION

It stats that
If a body is at rest will remain at rest forever and if a body is in
motion will remain in motion forever untill an unbalanced force
acted upon it.
First part of this law is self evident that if a body is at rest will remain at rest forever untill some unbalances forc is acted upon it , but the second part is not self evident that a body in motion will remain in motin forever untill an unbalanced forced is acted upon it . in every day experience if we roll a ball on the floor after covring some distance it stops without applying some visible external force , actually there is aforce which is called friction which come into play and stop the ball .
this law is also known as law of INERTIA .
Inertia is the property of all physical bodies by vertue of which they try to retain their state of rest or of motion.

PAKISTAN MOVEMENT

The idea of a separate state was first introduced by Allama Iqbal in 1930. Subsequently, the name Pakistan was proposed in Pakistan Declarationin 1933 by Choudhary Rahmat Ali along with other members of Pakistan Movement in U.K. However, Muhammad Ali Jinnah and other leaders maintained their belief in religious unity. It was only after, the volatile political climate and emerging religious hostilities between Hindus and Muslims that gave the idea a stronger backing.

IBN-HAYTHAM


ABU ALI AL-HASAN IBNUL-HASAN IBN AL-HAYTHAM AL-BASRI wasborn on 965 in basra and died on 1039 in cairo . He made significant contributions to the principles of optics, as well as to anatomy, astronomy, engineering, mathematics, medicine, ophthalmology, philosophy, physics, psychology, visual perception, and to science in general with his introduction of the scientific method.
Ibn al-Haytham's most famous work is his seven volume Arabic treatise on optics, Kitab al-Manazir (Book of Optics), written from 1011 to 1021. It has been ranked alongside Isaac Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica as one of the most influential books in physics for introducing an early scientific method, and for initiating a revolution in optics and visual perception.
In the dynamics and kinematics fields of mechanics, Ibn al-Haytham's Risala fi’l-makan (Treatise on Place) discussed theories on the motion of a body. He maintained that a body moves perpetually unless an external force stops it or changes its direction of motion.[30] This was similar to the concept of inertia, but was largely a hypotheses that was not verified by experimentation. The key breakthrough in classical mechanics, the introduction of frictional force, was eventually made centuries later by Galileo Galilei, and then formulated as Newton's first law of motion.

IBN-SINA


ABU ALI AL-HUSSAIN IBN ABDULLAH IBN SINA BALKHI: Commonly known in english Avicenna . He was born 980 AH near bukhara Uzbekistan and died 1037 AH in Hamedan in moderan Iran.
Avicenna created an extensive corpus of works during what is commonly known as Islam's Golden Age, in which the translations of Graeco-Roman, Neo- and Mid-Platonic, and Aristotelian texts by the Kindi schools were commented, redacted and developed substantially by Islamic intellectuals, as well as building upon Persian and Indian mathematical systems, astronomy, algebra, trigonometry, and medicine.
He was a polymath and the foremost physician and philosopher of his time. He was also an astronomer, chemist, geologist, logician, paleontologist, mathematician, physicist, poet, psychologist, scientist, and teacher.
He wrote almost 450 treatises on a wide range of subjects, of which around 240 have survived. In particular, 150 of his surviving treatises concentrate on philosophy and 40 of them concentrate on medicine.
His most famous works are The Book of Healing, a vast philosophical and scientific encyclopaedia, and The Canon of Medicine, which was a standard medical text at many medieval universities. The Canon of Medicine was used as a text-book in the universities of Montpellier and Louvain as late as 1650

AL-BIRUNI


ABU RAYHAN MUHAMMAD AL- BIRUNI was born on 5th september 973 in kath khwarezm now in uzbekistan and died 13 december 1048 in ghazni todays afghanistan.
He was a scientist , physicist , anthropologist, comparative sociologist, astronomer , chemist,encyclopedist,historian, geographer,geologist mathematician,pharmacist and much more .
Birunis works number 146 in total. 35 on astronomy, 4 on astrolabes,23 on astrology,5 on chronology,2 time measurement, 9 on geography, 10on geodesy and maping theory, 15 on mathematics , (8 on arithmatics , 5 on geometry , 2 on trignometry), 2 on mechanics, 2 on medicine and pharmacology , 1 on meteorology , 2 on mineralogy and gems , 4 on history , 2 on india , 3 on religion and philosophy , 16 literary works , 2 on magic and 9 unclassified books.
Biruni invented a number of astronomical instruments. He wrote the first treatises on the planisphere (the earliest star chart) and the orthographical astrolabe, as well as a treatise on the armillary sphere, and he was able to mathematically determine the direction of the Qibla from any place in the world. He also wrote the earliest treatise on the sextant.
He also invented an early hodometer, and the first mechanical lunisolar calendar computer which employed a gear train and eight gear-wheels. These were early examples of fixed-wired knowledge processing machines.
Al-Biruni introduced the scientific method into mineralogy in his Kitab al-Jawahir (Book of Precious Stones), where he was "the most exact of experimental scientists".The book described minerals such as stones and metals in depth, and was regarded as the most complete book on mineralogy in his time.
In astrophysics and the celestial mechanics field of physics, Biruni described the Earth's gravitation as:
"The attraction of all things towards the centre of the earth."
He also discovered that gravity exists within the heavenly bodies and celestial spheres, and he criticized Aristotle's views of them not having any levity or gravity and of circular motion being an innate property of the heavenly bodies.

AL KHWARZMI

MUHAMMAD BIN MUSA ABU JAFAR ALKHWARZMI 780-850.
His major contributions to mathematics, astronomy, astrology, geography and cartography provided the foundations for future invention in algebra, trignometry and other areas of intrests .his systematic and logical approach to solving linear and quadratic equations gave shape to the discipline of algebra,a word that is derived from the name of his book in arabic language al-kitab al-mukhtasar fi hisab al-jabr wal-muqabila.
He also assisted in the construction of a world map for the caliph mamoon and participated in a project to determine the circumference of the earth. supervising the work of 70 geographers to create the map of the then known world. when his work was copied and transferred to europe through latin translations , it had a profound impact on the advancement of basic mathematics in europe.

Cambridge International A and AS Level

The General Certificate of Education (Advanced Level), or International A Level, is the 'gold standard' of CIE qualifications. It has exactly the same value in admitting students to all universities as its UK equivalent. It is also accepted as an entry qualification by universities of the European Union, on a par with the French Baccalaureat.
International A Level examinations are usually taken after 13 years of education and are based on approximately 360 hours of guided learning, normally over a two-year period. International A Levels are highly specialised and a student will normally take three subjects, although occasionally exceptional students take four.
There are six passing grades (A* - E). Minimum matriculation requirements are at least two pass grades. University courses for which there is not strong demand might accept students with these grades, but typical UK university entrance requirements are closer to three passes at grade C for academic courses in established universities. Very popular courses will often require higher grades. For example, medical schools in the UK often require grades of AAB and the highly selective universities of Cambridge and Oxford ask for at least AAB.
Good International A Level grades can be a key to admission for all the world's major anglophone universities. University course credit and advanced standing is often available in countries such as the USA and Canada, where entrance to university takes place after 12 years of education. Good grades in carefully chosen International A Level subjects can result in up to one full year of credit.
