National Mathematics Day - 2023

The department of Mathematics, Sarada Vilas College, Mysuru celebrated the National Mathematics Day in a simple manner by paying floral tribute to the portrait of the legendary Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan and distributing sweets.

Every year 22nd December is celebrated in India as National Mathematics Day to commemorate the birth anniversary of Srinivasa Ramanujan, one of the greatest mathematicians the world has ever seen and whose contributions are still influencing the current day research.

'Are there infinitely many Wieferich Pirmes?' - An unsolved problem

I follow questions and answers on Mathematics Stack Exchange. Sometimes, I try to answer questions which lie within the realm of my knowledge. Of course, one earns reputation if people like and accept the answers (I have very less reputation for that matter). But that is not the main intention why many people are there. Many, extremely good questions, neatly constructed, indicating all the efforts put so far for solving it, do not let one sit quietly. Sometimes it is a collective effort solving a problem.

Wall Painting by students

 "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm"

Five students of final year (2022-23) approached us with the idea of beautifying the department of Mathematics. The result is what we see below - 'A tree of Mathematical equations/concepts' - a wall painting. The concept was designed and executed by them in 5 days.

National Mathematics Day - 2022

Celebration in the Department

       Srinivasa Ramanujan is undoubtedly one of the greatest mathematicians India has ever produced. Born on December 22nd, 1887, Ramanujan was almost a self taught mathematician in the earlier days of his life until he developed connections with the Birtish mathematician G. H. Hardy. Ramanujan's theory of modular equations, mock theta functions, Eisenstein series identities reveal how original his thoughts were. In his honour, to mark the 125th birth anniversary of Ramanujan, National Mathematics day was introduced in 2012 by the then Prime Minitser of India Dr. Manmohan Singh. Since then, December 22nd is celebrated as the National Mathematics Day in India.
