National Mathematics Day

National Mathematics Day is observed on 22 December every year to mark the birth anniversary of legendary Indian Mathematician, Srinivasa Ramanujan. The day recognizes and celebrates his works. On this day, the genius mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan was born in 1887. At a very young age, Srinivasa Ramanujan showed signs of an unfolding genius, and his contributions span across the areas including fractions, infinite series, number theory, mathematical analysis etc.

Mathematics Association organized a mathematical creative contest competiton as part of the celebration. It was titled 'Triangle Tribute'. Student teachers were divided into 5 groups. Every group had to make a creative work using triangles only. Though this sounded a bit odd, the final works of the groups were impressive. The works were judged on the basis of creativity and originality of the work, accuracy in drawing triangles, theme of the work, neatness and clarity of work and overall impression of the work. The assembly conducted by the Mathematics association as part of the celebrations was informative. The prizes for the winners of the contest were also distributed in the assembly.
