Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920) is one of the greatest Mathematicians of the twentieth century. Well known mathematicians Professors G.H. Hardy and J.E. Littlewood compared Ramanujan’s mathematical abilities and natural genius with all-time great mathematicians like Leonhard Euler, Carl Friedrich Gauss and Karl Gustav Jacobi.
The influence of Ramanujan on number theory is without parallel in mathematics. His papers, problems and letters would continue to captivate mathematicians in the future. He rediscovered a century of mathematics and made new discoveries.
In recognition of his contribution to mathematics, the Indian government has decided to celebrate Ramanujan’s birthday (22 December) as the National Mathematics Day every year and declared 2012 as the National Mathematical Year. Vigyan Prasar has planned the following programmes to celebrate the National Mathematical Year 2012:
