WELCOME TO THE EXCITING WORLD OF MATHEMATICS

Today is the 130th birth anniversary of great Indian Mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan and so is National Mathematics Day. Srinivasa Ramanujan was born on 22 December 1887 in Erode, Tamil Nadu. He is a man known for his work done in the field of mathematics. And that too with no formal training of that subject which others are getting in European countries.  Ramanujan developed his own mathematical research in isolation. Some extraordinary contribution done by him in the field of mathematics are – mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. Along with this, the legend has provided many theorems. He was enrolled into Telegu School, but found it too tiring and uninteresting to attend school and mostly he use to ran away from there. Later in 1904, he graduated from Town Higher Secondary School. He also received a scholarship to study at Government Arts College in Kumbakonam. During his studies he was so influenced by studying mathematics tha...

Srinivas Raghava is receiving 'Bharat Ganita Sri''  Award. We are proud of Srinivasa, who is considered to be another Ramanujam in the making as discussed in the articles below. http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-andhrapradesh/Another-Ramanujam-in-the-making/article15260156.ece http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-educationplus/A-pandit-of-Vedic-maths/article15406133.ece

The mathematical constant π (pi) is special for a number of reasons. One of them is that there are at least two holidays dedicated to pi: Pi Day celebrated on March 14 and Pi Approximation Day observed on July 22. The number pi is the ratio of the circle's circumference to its diameter. It is an irrational number, which means it can't be expressed as a common fraction. However, fractions and other rational number are commonly used to approximate it in order to facilitate calculations. The fraction 22/7 is one of the most widely used approximations of pi. It dates from Archimedes. 22/7 is accurate to two decimal places (3,14). Pi Approximation Day is celebrated on July 22 since this date is written 22/7 in the day/month date format, which is viewed as a reference to the fraction 22/7. Pi Approximation Day was first celebrated in the Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden. Both Pi Day and Pi Approximation Day are marked with cooking and eating pie, a...

Maryam Mirzakhani, the math genius from Iran, was born on May 3, 1977. She became the first woman to be awarded the Fields Medal, the highest award in mathematics, aka the Nobel Prize of math. The International Mathematical Union chose to give the honor to Mirzakhani after she discovered new advances in the theory of Riemann surface. The organisation gives out awards every four years to some of the best mathematicians under the age of 40. The low representation of women in STEM academic faculty and leadership roles are still not known as studies show no biological differences that would explain it happening. According to the National Academy of Sciences, being the first female to win this prestigious award, people are considering this as the first sign of many changes for the future. Mirzakhani began to make a name for herself internationally in 1994 and 1995 when she competed in the International Mathematical Olympiads She won gold at the International Mathematical Olympia...
