NATIONAL MATHEMATICS DAY CELEBRATION

NATIONAL MATHEMATICS DAY CELEBRATION

India observes National Mathematics Day on 22nd December 2022, to mark the birth anniversary of legendary mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan.
Here are five points on Mr Ramanujan:
1. Srinivasa Ramanujan was born on December 22, 1887, in Tamil Nadu's Erode. He is known for his contributions to the theory of numbers.
2. Mr Ramanujan studied in Government College, Kumbhakonam, in 1903. In college, he failed exams because he focused too much on mathematics and ignored other subjects.
3. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, Mr Ramanujan published the first of his papers in the Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society in 1911. He travelled to England on scholarship in 1914, where he was tutored by and collaborated with British mathematician Godfrey H Hardy.
4. Mr Ramanujan's mastery of continued fractions was unequaled by any living mathematician, as per Encyclopedia Britannica. He worked out the Riemann series, the elliptic integrals, hypergeometric series, functional equations of the zeta function using his own technique that came to be called Ramanujan summation.
5. Ramanujan returned to India in 1919. A year later, he died at the age of 32 in Kumbhakonam.
