National Mathematics Day
National Mathematics Day
The celebration was started with a beautiful hymn Satyam Shivam Sundaram, beautifully sung by Anshika Agarwal of B.Sc. (H) Mathematics First year. In addition to that Prof. Rakesh Kumar Dwivedi Director FoECS delivered his talk. He started his talk by thanks giving to HoD along with the faculty members of the Department of Mathematics for organizing this event.
He also threw some light on the life of Sir Ramanujan. He spoke about his early dismissal in just 32 years, but despite of his short life he worked tremendously and gave the concepts like infinity and number system to the world. In continuation, Prof. Dwivedi beautifully correlated the Satyam Shivam Sundaram with language of Mathematics.
He said Satyam is Mathematics itself and no one can deny the fact that Mathematics is the ultimate truth. Shivam signifies that Mathematics involves complexity. Sundaram signifies that Mathematics is beautiful.
This is how Prof. Dwivedi narrated Satyam Shivam Sundaram in the Mathematical sense. He said that no calculation whether easy or complex cannot be solved without Mathematics. Today Students of B.Tech study Mathematics as an art. In the Indian research domain, Mathematics helps in précised decision-making. Whatever we use in calculation Mathematics plays a crucial role as an important tool for the solution.
The great Indian philosopher Kapil Muni gave the philosophy of “Sankhya” to the world. During British rule in India, Ramanujan proved his caliber to the world and Mathematicians by this achievements and contribution in the field of Mathematics. Furthermore, the next eminent speaker of the event Mr. Swapnil Kumar Srivastava, Assistant professor, department of Mathematics, Erwin Christian college, University of Allahabad, expressed his views along with some interesting life incidence of Sir Ramanujan. He started his talk with a formal thanks to the organizers and warm wishes of the event to students. He emphasized that we should continuously celebrate this day not just as a day of the birth anniversary of Ramanujan but we should also celebrate this day for the continuous growth of Mathematics because we need to push Mathematics to its height.
Ramanujam was born in a poor family and he could not speak for three initial years of his life. He struggled a lot and Prof. Hardy contributed a lot in his academic life. He also told about the interesting number 1729, also known as taxi number. Hardy quipped that he came in a taxi with the number '1729' which seemed a fairly ordinary number but Ramanujan said that it was not. 1729, the Hardy-Ramanujan Number, is the smallest number that can be expressed as the sum of two different cubes in two different ways. (12)3 + (1)3 = 1729.
In his talk, Mr. Swapnil quoted the famous saying of Ramanujan, ” An equation for me has no meaning unless it expresses a thought of God.” Once Prof Hardy conducted a survey on numerous great Mathematicians and ranked them accordingly in that survey Ramanujan got 100 marks. With this fact sharing, Mr. Swapnil concluded his talk. In addition to this, Palak Tandon student of M.Sc. Mathematics Ist year, gave a presentation on Ramanujan.
In the last phase of the event, Jatin and Aman Ali from B.Sc. (H)-1st year, Mathematics successfully conducted an oral quiz.
After this oral quiz, a written quiz was conducted. Total 77 students from different streams and courses participated. The final result of the quiz is as follows:
I position: Prerna Saini [B.Sc.(H) Mathematics IIIrd year]
Saket Chaudhary [B.Tech. (CSE) Ist year]
II position: Taniya Mittal [B.Sc.(H) Mathematics IIIrd year]
Abhay Kumar [B.Sc.(H) Mathematics Ist year]
III position: Brahm Sagar Gaur [B.Tech. (ECE) Ist year]
The event was driven by Taniya Mittal and Gargi Sharma , students of B.Sc. (H) Math IIIrd year. HoD (Mathematics) Dr. Ajit Kumar, Dr. Gopal Kumar Gupta, Dr. Abhinav Saxena, Dr. Kamesh Kumar, Dr. Vipin Kumar, Mr. Ashok Kumar, Dr. Alok Kumar Gahlot, Dr. Ajay Upadhay, Mr. Rahul Vishnoi ( Proctor FoE), and many more were present in the event.
The event was concluded with the vote of thanks delivered by Dr. Gopal Kumar Gupta.
