MATHEMATICS DAY

Mathematics is the gateway and key to Science and Technology. An education, which does not give an applicable understanding of Mathematics, would end up defective. Neglect of Mathematics would thus limit a student's later academic career and work. So the pedagogy of Mathematics must be built into different levels of school education.

Srinivasa Ramanujan's birthday, 22 December, is observed as the National Mathematics Day every year. The School commemorated the birth anniversary of the great Indian Mathematician on 21 December 2024 in advance. The Honorary Correspondent, Mr. G, V. Bhaskar garlanded the photo of Sri Srinivasa Ramanujan in a special School assembly.

S. Hanish and P. Yoshita demonstrated the rules for quick calculations using Vedic Maths. B. Lasya and T. Yasasvi of Class IX delivered excellent speeches, recalling the greatness of Sri Ramanujan and his extraordinary works and achievements. They informed that Sri Ramanujan found Mathematics a profound manifestation of the reality. He made substantial contributions to the analytical theory of numbers and worked on elliptic functions, continued fractions, and infinite series discovering formulae and equations although he had no formal training in Pure Mathematics.

The Academic Director, Ms. Sruti Sainathuni appreciated the participants for their enthusiasm to win in various activities. The Honorary Correspondent, Mr. G. V. Bhaskar, the Principals, Mr. M. Mahesh and Mrs. J. Sasi Lakshmi distributed merit certificates to the children who secured I, II and III places (class wise) in the Maths Talent Test conducted in the School as a prelude to the auspicious occasion. Later in the day, students participated in various Mathematical activities organised class wise.
