NATIONAL MATHEMATICS DAY (NMD)
CELEBRATIONS ON 22ND DECEMBER
Sri Srinivasa Ramanujan took birth on December 22 in the year 1887 in Erode situated in the
city of today’s Tamil Nadu. He read mathematics voraciously and started developing his own
research in isolation in the beginning. Srinivasa was an autodidact; he was a self-taught
person and never had any formal training in mathematics. He first solved the formal and
regular mathematics when he was 10 years old. When he was at the school, he received
several merit certificates and academic awards.
Ramanujan has greatly contributed towards mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite
series and continued fractions. In the year 1913, SrinivasaRamanujan came in contact with
the European mathematicians for further developing his knowledge and interest towards
mathematics. He was also elected to various societies organized for the debate and discussion
on mathematics. He started exchanging letters with the world famous mathematician G. H.
Hardy and ultimately moved to England in the year 1914. He spent around 5 years at
Cambridge and issued a number of papers during his stay there.
For his memorable and great contributions towards mathematics, the birth anniversary of
SrinivasaRamanujan was declared as the National Mathematics Day in the year 2012 by the
then Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh. The year 2012 was celebrated as the
National Mathematics Year across the country India for the first time.
WHY IS NATIONAL MATHEMATICS DAY CELEBRATED?
National Mathematics Day is celebrated in India for paying tribute to the great
mathematicians of India. 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 SrinivasaRamanujan 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.
The former Prime Minister inaugurated the Centre for Higher Mathematics named after
Ramanujan at the Alagappa University. He also said that the application of mathematics had
been broadly accepted in the study of Economics, Science and various other disciplines.
The former Prime Minister paid tribute to the legendary SrinivasaRamanujan and said that he
was the great son of Tamil Nadu and India who made a remarkable contribution to the world
of Mathematics worldwide. In order to remember and honor his memorable contributions to
mathematics, the Indian government decided and announced to celebrate the National
Mathematics Day annually on the birthday of Ramanujan. The year 2012 was declared as the
National Mathematical Year.
By celebrating the national mathematics day, a platform for research and development can be
created. This platform would help the students and researchers to continue the legacy of
development which had been long left behind by the original and founding fathers of
mathematics and science.
HOW IS NATIONAL MATHEMATICS DAY CELEBRATED?
National Mathematics Day is celebrated across India at different schools, Colleges,
Universities and Educational Institutions of India.The announcement to celebrate National
Mathematics Day on 22nd December was declared by Dr. Manmohan Singh, the former
Prime Minister on the 125th birthday of SrinivasaRamanujan.The International Society
UNESCO (The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) and India
agreed to work together for spreading the joy of learning and understanding mathematics.
They also take various steps in educating the students on Mathematics and spread the
knowledge to the students and learners throughout the world.
All the states in India celebrate National Mathematics Day in different ways. Various
competitions and mathematical quiz are held at the school, college and university level.
Mathematics genius and students from across India participate in events held on the day.
Different types of Objective Test Competition, Quiz Competition, and Poster Presentation
Competition were held. Suggested themes were ‘Indian Mathematics’, Mathematics for Life’
and ‘Application of Mathematics’. The themes and competition are basically intended to
develop the knowledge of emerging students in the field of mathematics.The workshop was
an endeavor to offer a common platform for young teachers and researchers of the colleges.
National Mathematics Day celebration focuses more on the Promotion and Development of
Research related to Mathematics and the Prospects present in different fields of
Mathematics.India owns legendary Mathematicians such as Brahmagupta, Aryabhata, and
SrinivasaRamanujan. These legendaries have not only shaped the face of Indian Mathematics
but have also gained tremendous popularity worldwide.
Every state in India must recognize the great contributions made by these mathematicians and
celebrate the National Mathematics Day with great zeal and enthusiasm. The schools,
colleges, and Universities at the state level must organize quiz, competitions and other
cultural events for the celebration. This would not only create competitiveness in the students
but would also enhance their knowledge.
The Engineering Colleges and Technical Institutes must also celebrate National Mathematics
Day and Researchers and Developers from across the nation should be invited to deliver
lectures and share their knowledge and experience. This would motivate the emerging
engineering students. It would also offer a common platform to collectively tackle the
problems faced in the field of mathematics.
