Description

Every year, National Mathematics Day is celebrated on December 22 throughout the country. This day is marked to recognise and celebrate the works of Srinivasa Ramanujan. On this day in 1887, the Indian mathematical genius Srinivasa Ramanujan was born. Ramanujan was born in Erode, Tamil Nadu. Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, on February 26, 2012, announced December 22 to be celebrated as the National Mathematics Day to commemorate Srinivasa Ramanujan’s birth anniversary

Srinivasa Ramanujan is also regarded as the 'man who knew infinity'. Ramanujan, who received no formal education in mathematics, made several significant contributions to the area.

Srinivasa Ramanujan's path to becoming a genius began with a letter to a professor in which he cited approximately 120 mathematical theorems. He enrolled at Trinity College a few months before World War I began. Ramanujan received his Bachelor of Science degree in 1916. He was elected to the London Mathematical Society in 1917. In 1918, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society for his work on Elliptic Functions and number theory. In October of that year, he became the first Indian to be chosen as a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.

Due to his ill health, he returned to India in 1919, and a year later, on April 26, 1920, he died at the age of 32.
