National flag is the pride of any countries and is also the identity. And most amazing fact is that only a country throughout the world is unique because of its structure. Most of the countries have square or rectangular shape of flag but only the country Nepal has triangular shape of flag.So Nepal though not being able to win any of the gold medal internationally it is in the attraction of other countries people but to the unique shape of its flags.In this video below they men from the people talk about Nepal’s math and its structure geometrically.the flag of Nepal is also always in the highlight as it is very mathematical.
In the video Dr James Grime from Cambridge University mention that his team have been looking for the different flags of different nation and what mathematics can be created out from it.As almost all the flag has same structure that is of regular rectangular a particular flag strike their mind.And the flag they are going to study the symmetry, geometry of Nepal’s flag which is not popular country as it do not often take part in international games and if it did hasn’t won any gold medal so far.the country Nepal that Dr Jame preferred claims that it has the most mathematical flag.Actually he also mention which most of Nepalese may also do not know that the mathematical construction of the flag has been actually written in our Nepalese constitution.So to construct the flag of Nepal with the instruction written in article 5 of the Nepal Constitution.The article 5 of Nepal Constitution describe how to construct the flag of Nepal.So lets dig into it.In the schedule 1, relating to article 5 National Flag it is mention how to construct national flag of Nepal accurately with perfect geometry.it is base in Romanian Geometry of mathematics. The instructions are written in three section in 23 steps. First it talks about the out line of triangles in the flag with measurements with lines.likewise second one talks about the construction of moon and the sun in the flag.The third section talks about construction of boarder lines.
The flags can be construed with out measurements but there are certain thing that should be there in the flag without any mistake.The eight equal and similar triangles of the moon are to drawn in moon.Likewise the sin in the flag should have 12 equal and similar triangles which are meant to be rays of the sun.Also the sun and the moon are of white colour and boarder line have blue colour in it where rest of the flags are fill with crimson colour.
According to Dr James Nepal is not having regular shape as the flags of other country makes it very unusual that Nepal is bucking the trend and is sticking with it.We people do not actually care about the construction of the flags which is actually written in our constitution.A man from another country has shown how mathematically wonderful is our national flag.So our national flag do not only give our identity but also is every Nepalese pride
