National Mathematics Day is celebrated on December 22 to commemorate the birth anniversary of India’s mathematical genius Srinivasa Ramanujan.
- Ramanujan was one of the youngest members of Britain's Royal Society and the first Indian to be elected a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge University.
- His contribution to mathematical analysis, infinite series, continued fractions and number theory was immense.
- Ramanujan is most popular for his contribution in analytical theory of numbers, elliptic functions, continued fractions, and infinite series.
- According to government data, Ramanujan also discovered his own theorems and compiled as many as 3,900 results independently.
- Academicians across the globe agree that his theories transformed 20th century mathematics and continue to shape the subject in the 21st century.
