National Mathematics Day Celebrates Ramanujan's Legacy

National Mathematics Day is celebrated on December 22 every year to honor Srinivasa Ramanujan, a famous mathematician.

This day was first celebrated in 2012 to mark his 125th birth anniversary.

Ramanujan made many important contributions to mathematics, like working with numbers, series, and functions.

This year's theme is 'Mathematics, Art and Creativity,' showing how math helps in science and technology.

Ramanujan was very talented and was honored by the London Mathematical Society and the Royal Society.

He passed away when he was only 32, but his work is still important to mathematicians all over the world.

Schools and institutions organize events like seminars, quizzes, and competitions to celebrate the day and promote the importance of mathematics in education and daily life.
