Today in History:Celebrating Ramanujan: India’s Genius of Infinite Math

New Delhi 22 Dec.  (VNI)   India marks December 22 as National Mathematics Day each year to pay tribute to the birth anniversary of Srinivasa Ramanujan, a pioneering figure in mathematics. Born in 1887 in Erode, Tamil Nadu, Ramanujan’s remarkable insights into fields like number theory, infinite sequences, and continued fractions have left a lasting impact on the discipline.

Although he had limited access to formal training, Ramanujan’s exceptional intellect produced profound formulas and concepts that continue to influence researchers today. His partnership with G.H. Hardy at Cambridge University remains iconic, highlighting the depth of his talent and innovative thinking.

National Mathematics Day celebrates Ramanujan's enduring contributions and seeks to inspire a love for mathematics and creative problem-solving among learners and scholars across India. His journey underscores the immense potential of perseverance and intellectual curiosity.
