BEASISWA DATAPRINT 2012

Partisipasi DataPrint dalam memajukan dunia pendidikan Indonesia tidak henti-hentinya. Di tahun 2009, DataPrint pernah mengadakan program DataPrint Academy yang memberikan kesempatan kepada 30 orang pelajar SMA dari seluruh Indonesia untuk mengikuti workshop selama lima hari di bidang kreatifitas dan entrepreneurship. Kemudian di tahun 2011, sebanyak 700 orang pelajar dan mahasiswa telah menerima beasiswa pendidikan dengan total ratusan juta rupiah. Para penerima beasiswa berasal dari Pekanbaru, Bandung, Jakarta, Ponorogo, Kendari, Martapura, Dumai, Malang, dan lain-lain.

Tahun ini, DataPrint kembali membuka program beasiswa bagi 700 orang pelajar dan mahasiswa. Program beasiswa dibagi dalam dua periode. Tidak ada sistem kuota berdasarkan daerah dan atau sekolah/perguruan tinggi. Hal ini bertujuan agar beasiswa dapat diterima secara merata bagi seluruh pengguna DataPrint.  Beasiswa terbagi dalam tiga nominal yaitu Rp 250 ribu, Rp 500 ribu dan Rp 1 juta. Dana beasiswa akan diberikan satu kali bagi peserta yang lolos penilaian. Aspek penilaian berdasarkan dari essay, prestasi dan keaktifan peserta.

Beasiswa yang dibagikan diharapkan dapat meringankan biaya pendidikan sekaligus mendorong penerima beasiswa untuk lebih berprestasi. Jadi, segera daftarkan diri kamu di sini!

1+2+3+ . . . +100=? Can you solve it?

Gauss Found the Way

“What is the sum of the first one hundred numbers beginning from one?” 

(i.e. ?)

After the teacher asked this question, the class, which was full of young kids, fell into complete silence. A few students were stunned by the seemingly-impossible challenge and readily gave up; most students began scribbling on the paper, trying to add all the numbers one by one, from the very beginning. What a difficult question! They thought.

But there was one kid in the class did it differently. He thought about it for a few minutes, did some simple calculation, and raised his hand.

“I am finished,” the student said.

“How is it possible,” the teacher said to himself as he walked toward the student, “the problem would take one at least an hour to do!” Indeed, if he had solve the problem himself, he would just sum up all the one hundred numbers one by one as well – as a matter of fact, he presented the problem to the class just to kill some time. But after he examined his student’s answer, he was shocked. 

“It’s a genius’ solution!” after a few seconds of freezing in astonishment, the teacher shouted, “this kid is going to be famous!”

It was in the late 18^th century, Germany. The teacher was right – it turned out to be that his brilliant student, Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss, became one of the most famous and important mathematicians of all time.

So, how did young Gauss do the calculation?

First, he wrote the sum twice, one in an ordinary order and the other in a reverse order:

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + . . . + 99 + 100
100 + 99 + . . . + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1

By adding vertically, each pair of numbers adds up to 101:

1	+	2	+	3	+	. . .	+	98	+	99	+	100
100	+	99	+	98	+	. . .	+	3	+	2	+	1

Since there are 100 of these sums of 101, the total is 100 X 101 = 10,100. Because this sum 10,100 is twice the sum of the numbers 1 through 100, we have:
