National Mathematics Day: Ramanujan's Legacy

National Mathematics Day is observed annually on December 22nd in India to honor the famous mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. The day celebrates his contributions to fields like mathematical analysis, number theory, and infinite series. Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh emphasized the importance of celebrating Ramanujan's legacy and promoting Indian mathematics. Ramanujan made substantial discoveries despite having no formal training, solving problems considered unsolvable. He worked to interest other mathematicians in his novel work.

IMPORTANCE OF
★NATIONAL MATHS DAY★
In India, the National Mathematics Day is
observed on December 22 every year. It is
celebrated in order to honor the birth
anniversary of the famous Mathematician Sir
Srinivasa Ramanujan. He was the world famous
Mathemagician who made remarkable
contributions in different fields and branches of
the subject Mathematics.
Who Announced Maths Day?
✦The former Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh spoke about
the great contributions of the world famous mathematicians and
emphasized the necessity to carry their legacy forward by celebrating
National Mathematics Day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

✦ The great Indian mathematicians such as Brahmagupta, Aryabhata,


and Srinivasa Ramanujan have played a significant role in developing
different formulas, theorems and theories on mathematics in India. And
thus, it is important to promote and cultivate the magnificent tradition
of Indian mathematics by celebrating National Mathematics Day.
SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN
Srinivasa Ramanujan (22 December 1887 – 26 April 1920) was an Indian
Mathematician who lived during the British Rule in India.
Though he had almost no formal training in pure mathematics, he made
substantial contributions to Mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite
series, and continued fractions, including solutions to mathematical problems
considered to be unsolvable.
Ramanujan initially developed his own mathematical research in isolation: -
"He tried to interest the leading professional mathematicians in his work,
but failed for the most part. What he had to show them was too novel, too
unfamiliar, and additionally presented in unusual ways; they could not be
bothered"
