It is the Mathematics day today. Since 2012, December 22 is celebrated as the Mathematics Day in memory of Ramanujan, the great Indian genius. Actually, India and mathematics can be considered an equation as fundamental as the zero, right? Aryabhatta to Ramanujan, India has a great lineage of mathematicians. The Vedic Maths tricks can beat any app with the ease of Gukesh emerging as the World Chess champion.
Yet most Indian children consider mathematics the bane of their school life. Well, now students can choose to complete their SSC without opting for maths! Come to think of it though, you can never escape maths because it literally pervades life, and every activity therein.
Right now, let us laugh a little at maths through language so as to drive out the possible fear against maths. So, bingo! Here we go at 'sum'!
1) How to make seven an even number? Well, remove the 's'!
2) When it snows heavily, what do mathematicians do? They build a snow 'angle'!
3) What did one maths book say to another? "Why bother me? As it is, i have my own problems!"
4) What did the calculator say to the student? "Don't worry. You can count on me"!
5) Why is pi lucky? Well, everything about pi is infinite and non-repetitive!
