On the birthday of Srinivasa Ramanujan, one of the greatest mathematicians of the twentieth century, India commemorates National Mathematics Day. On the anniversary of his birth, India celebrates National Math Day. In 2012, then-Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh announced December 22nd to be National Mathematics Day. India is commemorating National Mathematics Day for the tenth time, as well as Dr. Ramanujan’s 134th birthday. Mathematical analysis, infinite series, continuous fractions, and number theory all benefited greatly from his contributions. Ramanujan’s contributions to the analytical theory of numbers, elliptic functions, continuous fractions, and infinite series have made him famous.
National Achievement Survey in November, 38 lakh students to participate
On this day in 18 Erode, Tamil Nadu, Srinivas Ramanujan was born to a Tamil Brahmin Iyengar family. He died in Kumbakonam on April 27, 1920. Ramanujan began studying trigonometry when he was 12 years old, and by the age of 13, he had independently developed his own theorem. He worked at the Madras Port Trust in 1912, where his mathematical ability was noticed by some of his coworkers, one of whom referred him to Professor GH Hardy of Trinity College, University of Cambridge.
Ramanujan was the first Indian to be elected a Fellow at Trinity College, University of Cambridge, and was one of the Royal Society’s youngest members. In 1919, Ramanujan returned to India. At the age of 32, he took his last breath a year later. Ramanujan also found his own theory and independently accumulated 3,900 outcomes, according to official data. His idea continues to revolutionize twentieth-century mathematics and influence the subject of the twenty-first century, according to scholars all across the world. The film “The Man Who Knew Infinity,” based on Srinivasa Ramanujan’s biography, was released in 2015. It tells the story of a mathematician’s life and journey to building a well-known mathematical theory.
