NATIONAL MATHEMATICS DAY ➕➖➗✖️


National Mathatics Day 2022 was celebrated in GCTE on 21 /12/2022 by the Department of Mathematics
National Mathematics Day is celebrated on December 22 across the nation every year. The National Mathematics Day is marked to recognise and celebrate the works of Srinivasa Ramanujan. Srinivasa Ramanujan, the Indian mathematical genius, was born on this day in 1887. This year nation celebrates his 135th birth anniversary of Ramanujan. The main objective behind the celebration of National Mathematics Day is to make people aware of the development of mathematics and its importance in the growth of humanity.

National Mathematics Day: History

The day was announced on 26 February 2012 by the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to mark the 125th anniversary of the birth of the Indian mathematical genius Srinivasa Ramanujan (22 Dec 1887- 26 Apr 1920). 2012 was also observed as National Mathematics Year. Ramanujan had a wealth of ideas that have transformed and reshaped 20th-century mathematics. These ideas continue to shape the mathematics of the 21st century.

NATIONAL MATHEMATICS DAY 2022: THEME

The theme for National Mathematics Day 2022 is not predetermined. "To make people aware of the evolution of mathematics and its importance in the growth of humanity" is the stated goal of this day.

NATIONAL MATHEMATICS DAY 2022: SIGNIFICANCE

The goal of Mathematics Day is to increase public understanding of the value of mathematics. On this day, people recognise the value of mathematics in advancing humanity at all levels.

The government undertakes a number of programmes to inspire, educate, and excite the populace as well as the children of the nation to adopt a favourable attitude toward mathematics.

Srinivasa Ramanujan

🌟 Srinivasa Ramanujan was born on December 22, 1887,        in Tamil Nadu’s Erode to a Brahmin Iyengar family.          He had developed a liking for mathematics at a very          young age, mastering trigonometry at 12 and was              eligible for a scholarship at the Government Arts                College in Kumbakonam.
🌟 He studied at the Government College in                             Kumbakonam  in 1903. Due to his dislike for non-               mathematical subjects, he failed exams there. He had       enrolled in Madras’ Pachaiyappa College at the age         of 14.
🌟  In 1912, Ramanujan started working as a clerk in the            Madras Port Trust. There, his mathematical genius              was  recognised by some of his colleagues and one           of  them referred him to Professor GH Hardy of                Trinity College, Cambridge University. 
🌟  He met Hardy in 1913, after which he went to Trinity            College.In 1916, Ramanujan received his Bachelor of          Science (BSc) degree. He went on to publish several          papers on his subject with Hardy’s help. The two              even collaborated on several joint projects.
🌟  Ramanujan was elected to the London Mathematical          Society in 1917. Next year, he was elected to the                prestigious Royal Society for his research on Elliptic            Functions and theory of numbers. He was also the              first Indian to be elected a Fellow of the Trinity College.
      Despite not receiving any formal training in pure                maths, Ramanujan made impactful contribution to the        discipline in his short life. His areas of work include            infinite series, continued fractions, number theory and        mathematical analysis.
🌟  He also made notable contributions like the                        hypergeometric series, the Riemann series, the elliptic        integrals, the theory of divergent series, and the                  functional equations of the zeta function. He is said to        have discovered his own theorems and independently        compiled 3,900 results.
🌟 In 1919, Ramanujan returned to India. A year later, on         April 26, he breathed his last owing to deteriorating             health. He was just 32 years old. His biography ‘The         Man Who Knew Infinity’ by Robert Kanigel depicts           his life and journey to fame.
🌟 A film of the same name was released in 2015 in which       British-Indian actor Dev Patel played Ramanujan. The         2015 movie ‘The Man Who Knew Infinity” was                 released based on Srinivasa Ramanujan’s biography.       The film shed light on Ramanujan’s childhood in               India, his time in Britain, and his journey to becoming         the great mathematician.
