National Mathematics Day
National Mathematics Day: History
On 125th Birth Anniversary of Srinivasa Ramanujan, India's then Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh announced that 22nd December would be celebrated as the National Mathematics Day in India. Since then, we celebrate National Mathematics Day every year to mark and commemorate the birth Anniversary of Ramanujan, the genius of his Era.
National Mathematics Day: Significance
The National Mathematics Day is celebrated across the nation to acknowledge the contributions and excellence of Ramanujan in the field of Mathematics. It inspires the current generation to carry on the wonderful legacy of India's sacred soil. India has always had genius mathematicians in its history like Aryabhatta, Bhaskaracharya, Nilkantha Somayaji, etc. Following the same path, Ramanujan also kept the lamp of this glorious Indian knowledge alive during the tough times of British Raj.
Now that we are “Swatantra”, it is our utmost duty to carry on this legacy. With this motivation, let us all join hands to take India to the heights which our forefathers had dreamt of. India has for a long time remained a “Vishwaguru” (inspiration to the world), it is high time that we once again regain that top-notch position of ours!
What we Have Planned!
On National Mathematics Day there are different activities related to mathematics. Many camps and training sessions are held for the students and teachers. This helps in the development, propagation, and inclusion of fresh talent in the field of mathematics.
On this special day - we, Igniting Indian Tech-eez, launch a video series on the biography of the great mathematician - Ramanujan!

= -72° +32°
= -40°F

Maths Magic
- Multiply by 6
If you multiply 6 to even number, the answer will end with the same digit. The number in the ten's place will be half of the number in the one's place if it is not a multiple of 10. For example:
6×2 = 12 6×4 = 24 6×6 = 36 6×8 = 48 6×10 = 60
- The 11 Rule
Here is a quick way to multiply 2 digit numbers with 11 in your mind!
- Separate the two digits in your mind.
- Put their sum in between them. If the sum is greater than 9, then carry over the ten's digit.
72×11 = 792 57×11 = 627
- Memorizing Pi
To remember the first seven digits of pi, count the number of letters in each word of the sentence:
"How I wish I could calculate pi" This becomes → 3.141592
Lets W-rap-it!
