RAMANUJANS BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION-2009 The department of mathematics has a tradition of celebrity the great Indian mathematician “SRINIVAS RAMANUJAN BIRTHDAY” on 22nd December. Every year since 2002.The event is celebrated to inspire the students to take Ramanujan as their role model. Brief of the celebration: The celebration was not taken up in a large scale this year as there was no clarity whether the students will be available for organizing & participating in the program due to Telengana Agitation. The previous planning of conducting competitions had to be given up due to reason mentioned already. Apart from this all the attention & energy of the faculty & students was directed towards academic activity. The posters of Ramanujans life & work were pasted through out the college in all the blocks so that the students are reminded of the great Mathematical legend. A write –up about Ramanujan was sent on mails to all students. Coordinator: G.Ramesh. |
Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920) hailed as an all-time great mathematician, like Euler, Gauss or Jacobi, for his natural genius, has left behind 4000 original theorems, despite his lack of formal education and a short life-span. In his formative years, after having failed in his F.A. (First examination in Arts) class at College, he ran from pillar to post in search of a benefactor. It is during this period, 1903-1914, he kept a record of the final results of his original research work in the form of entries in two large-sized Note Books. These were the ones which he showed to Dewan Bahadur Ramachandra Rao (Collector of Nellore), V. Ramaswamy Iyer (Founder of Indian Mathematical Society), R. Narayana Iyer (Treasurer of IMS and Manager, Madras Port Trust), and to several others to convince them of his abilities as a Mathematician. The orchestrated efforts of his admirers, culminated in the encouragement he received from Prof. G.H. Hardy of Trinity College, Cambridge, whose warm response to the historic letter of Ramanujan which contained about 100 theorems, resulted in inducing the Madras University, to its lasting credit, to rise to the occasion thrice - in offering him the first research scholarship of the University in May 1913 ; then in offering him a scholarship of 250 pounds a year for five years with 100 pounds for passage by ship and for initial outfit to go to England in 1914 ; and finally, by granting Ramanujan 250 pounds a year as an allowance for 5 years commencing from April 1919 soon after his triumphant return from Cambridge ``with a scientific standing and reputation such as no Indian has enjoyed before''.
