HAPPY PI DAY

 𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐘 𝐏𝐈 𝐃𝐀𝐘

Celebrated annually on March 14th (3/14), Pi Day is a fun and delicious way to geek out about math! It's a day to honor pi (π), a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. People celebrate by indulging in pie (a tasty pun!), memorizing and reciting as many digits of pi as they can, or simply discussing its importance in science and math. This playful tradition dates back to 1988 and has even gained international recognition as UNESCO's International Day of Mathematics.

Dear fellow educators,

Srinivasa Ramanujan (22 December 1887 – 26 April 1920) was an Indian mathematician, who made extraordinary contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. Ramanujan independently compiled nearly 3900 results (mostly identities and equations). His work continues to inspire mathematicians even today!
                                 

Srinivasa Ramanujan, born into a poor Brahmin family at Erode on Dec. 22, 1887, attended school in nearby Kumbakonam. By the time he was 13, he could solve unaided every problem in Loney's Trigonometry, and at 14 he obtained the theorems for the sine and the cosine that had been anticipated by L. Euler.

Ramanujan became so absorbed in mathematics that when he entered the local government college in 1904 with a merit scholarship, he neglected his other subjects and lost the scholarship. Ramanujan married in 1909, and while working as a clerk he continued his mathematical investigations.

In January 1913 Ramanujan sent some of his work to G. H. Hardy, Cayley lecturer in mathematics at Cambridge. Hardy noticed that Ramanujan had rediscovered, and gone far beyond, some of the latest conclusions of Western mathematicians. In 1914 Ramanujan went to Cambridge. The university experience gave him considerable sophistication, but intuition still played a more important role than argument. In Hardy's opinion, if Ramanujan's gift had been recognized early, he could have become one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. His patience, memory, power of calculation, and intuition made him the greatest formalist of his day. In 1918 Ramanujan was elected a fellow of the Royal Society and a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.

However, the story goes that, Ramanujan’s health deteriorated greatly while he was in England, and he eventually had to travel back to India in 1919. He died a year later, when he was only 33 years of age, although his work will be remembered for a long time. He dealt with the Riemann series, the elliptic integrals, the hypergeometric series, and functional equations of the zeta function. Hardy liked to rank mathematicians on a scale of 1 to 100, and he gave himself 25, Littlewood 30, David Hilbert 80, and Ramanujan 100, which shows just how great Ramanujan was.

Remembering Srinivasa Ramanujan: A Mathematical Genius

As we remember Srinivasa Ramanujan on his death anniversary, let us honor his legacy by continuing to explore the mysteries and beauty of mathematics. Let us be inspired by his dedication, perseverance, and love for mathematics, and strive to make our own contributions to the field.


Ramanujan's work has inspired and influenced generations of mathematicians around the world. His ability to see patterns and connections in mathematics that others could not has led to significant advances in number theory, mathematical analysis, and other areas of mathematics. His life and work continue to be celebrated and honored by mathematicians and mathematic lovers around the world.
