New Delhi: National Mathematics Day 2021 is celebrated every year in India on 22 December. This day is very special for all of us Indians. There are many special things related to this day which we are going to tell you today. In fact, on this day i.e. 22 December 1887, the great Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan was born. Today, on the occasion of ‘National Mathematics Day’, let us know some special things related to this day.
The Government of India declared Iyengar Ramanujan’s birthday as Mathematics Day to honor his achievements. Since then till today, the great Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan’s birthday is celebrated all over the country on the basis of ‘National Mathematics Day’.
Let us tell you that the announcement of celebrating ‘National Mathematics Day’ as ‘National Mathematics Day’ was made by the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on 26 February 2012 at the University of Madras to mark the 125th anniversary of the birth of Srinivasa Ramanujan. was done during Since then, the birthday of Srinivasa Ramanujan is celebrated as ‘National Mathematics Day’.
Who was Srinivasa Ramanujan
Today, on the occasion of ‘National Mathematics Day’, let us know about the great mathematician Srinivasa Iyengar Ramanujan of India. Let us tell you that he was born on 22 December 1887 in a Brahmin family in Erode village of Coimbatore. His father’s name was Srinivasa Iyengar. In fact, Ramanujan is counted among the great mathematical thinkers of the modern era. He made his invaluable contribution to the subject of mathematics. He made extensive contributions in the areas of analysis of mathematics and number theory during his lifetime.
It is always said about Srinivasa Iyengar Ramanujan that he was very fond of mathematics since childhood. Most of his time was spent reading and practicing mathematics, which often resulted in low marks in other subjects. But even after this his curiosity towards the subject of mathematics did not work.
Mastered math
Let us tell you that Mathematician Srinivasa Iyengar Ramanujan had mastered Trigonometry at the age of just 12. You will be surprised to know that without anyone’s help, he developed many theorems (Pythagorean Theorem). Ramanujan had his early education from the primary school in Kumbakonam.
This is how maths became a favorite subject
In the year 1898, he joined the Town High School. It is said that even a small step can bring great success, just like this happened to them. It was here that he got a chance to read a book on mathematics. He was so impressed by this book that mathematics became his favorite subject.
He also studied at Madras University. In 1911, he published a 17-page paper in the Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society, which was based on Bernoulli numbers. Today is the birth of this great mathematician of India Srinivasa Iyengar Ramanujan, which is celebrated in our country as ‘National Mathematics Day’ and thus his contribution to mathematics is remembered.
