WELCOME DEAR MATH AND SCIENCE CLUB MEMBERS
As you know, today, 22nd December is the
Birthday of Srinivasa Ramanujan (Dec. 22, 1887 --April 26, 1920)
Srinivasa
Ramanujan is the best known Indian Mathematician
who with almost no formal training in
Mathematics, made extraordinary contributions
to number theory, infinite series, continued
fractions and mathematical analysis.
During
his short lifespan of only 33 years, Ramanujan
independently compiled nearly 4000
results (mostly equations and identities).
He
was born on 22nd December 1887 in Erode, Tamil Nadu. In December 2011, the Government
of India declared that Ramanujan’s birthday (22nd December) should be
celebrated every year as National Mathematics Day and the year 2012 was
declared as the National Mathematics Year.
This year our club has decided to conduct the following
activities which can be submitted on the reopening day (02.01.2014).
Students
can participate in more than one activity
Ø
Prepare a report on
o
Importance of
Mathematics in day to day activities
o
Contributions of
Srinivasa Ramanujan in Mathematics
o
Life events of
Srinivasa Ramanujan
Ø
Make a list of prime
numbers between 1000 and 5,000
Ø
Draw a circle of any radius.
Measure the circumference using thread and ruler. Find its diameter. Calculate
the ratio between circumference and diameter. Present everything in a A4 paper
including the pictures
Ø Make a Poster on the application of mathematics in Science and Technology, Fine arts, performing arts, Social
Sciences or in other subjects
