India's National Anthem, Jana Gana Mana, turned 100 today

India's national anthem, Jana Gana Mana, completes 100 years on Dec 27th. As a proud Indian we all know to sing our famous National anthem in tandem without any mistake but many few knows its history. Glad to bring to your notice that our National anthem is 100 years old and anniversary falls on 27th of this month. 

Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore's 'Jana Gana Mana' was first performed on December 27, 1911, at the Calcutta session of the Indian National Congress and then adoptedas the National anthem. Let us join together and pay our respect to this great event.

Jana Gana Mana is the national anthem of India. It is written by first Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore in Bengali, after written Bengali converted in to Hindi. It was first sung at the Kolkota (Calcutta) Session of the Indian National Congress on 27 December 1911. 

Our national anthem takes fifty-two seconds. It is the symbol of peace and our unity. Thank for all Indian to respect our national anthem.

I am requesting all citizens please respect our national anthem

2012 to be ‘National Mathematical Year’ in Honour of Ramanujan

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has declared 2012 ‘national mathematics year’ in honor of maths wizard Srinivasa Ramanujan’s 150th birth anniversary. The Prime Minister who made the declaration at a function honoring Ramanujan in Chennai, also said Ramanujan overcame formidable difficulties to reach the pinnacle of greatness, illustrating the inadequacy of the university evaluation system in the early decades of the last century, while at the same time showing that the system displayed enough flexibility to take care of mavericks like him.

He said the country was proud of Ramanujan and Tamil Nadu has a special claim on him for he was a Tamilian.

“Along with CV Raman and Subramanyam Chandrashekhar (both Nobel laureates), he is among the three great men of science and mathematics that Tamil Nadu and India have given to the world of modern times”, he said.

Singh also said that the perception that the pursuit of mathematics does not lead to attractive career possibilities must change. “It is a matter of concern that for a country of our size, the number of competent mathematicians we have is badly inadequate”, he said. Singh also said that this had resulted in a situation where the quality od mathematics teachers at schools and colleges has declined.

The Prime Minister said the mathematical community has a duty to find out “ways and means” to address the shortage of top quality mathematicians and reach out to the public, especially in the modern context, where mathematics has tremendous influence on every kind of human endeavour.

Noting that the Central government has pursued a policy of encouraging scientific activities of diverse kinds, the Prime Minister said, “Given our traditions, we naturally attach special importance to mathematics…in many ways, mathematics can be regarded as the mother science”.

“A genius like Ramanujan would shine bright even in the most adverse of circumstances, but we should be geared to encourage and nurture good talent which may not be of the same calibre as that of Ramanujan”, Singh said.

Honouring Professor Robert Kanigel, who has written a biography of Ramanujan, Singh said this book has made Ramanujan well known to the public at large all over the world.

Merry Christmas

Greetings from http://makeonlinetricks.blogspot.com/

Happy Birthday, Srinivasa Ramanujan!

Born : 22 Dec 1887

Died : 26 Apr 1920

Today ( 22 Demember ) is the birthday of Srinivasa Ramanujan, the great Indian mathematician who studied number theory, mastered modular and partition functions, and designed summation formulas. Ramanujan was born on December 22, 1887 in Erode, a city along the banks of the Cauvery River in the southern state of Tamil Nadu. He enrolled in a local high at the age of 10, but learned more about mathematics from the college students who boarded in parents' home. According to Robert Kanigel, Ramanujan's biographer and author of The Man Who Knew Infinity, the young mathematician was deeply influenced by two borrowed books: S.L. Loney's Plane Trigonometry and George Shoobridge Carr's Synopsis of Elementary Results in Pure Mathematics. Carr's work, a list of 5000 mathematical formulas, inspired Ramanujan to develop his own proofs for these theorems. By the age of 17, Ramanujan had calculated Euler's constant to 15 decimal places and proposed a new class of numbers. Although his peers "stood in respectful awe of him", said one contemporary, "we, including his teachers, rarely understood him". 

Like Albert Einstein, Srinivasa Ramanujan struggled with school and even failed his high school exams because of difficulties concentrating. In 1909, the 22-year old college dropout moved from Erode to Madras and found work as a clerk in the Accountant General's Office. Ramachandra Rao, an Indian mathematician who helped Ramanujan obtain the clerkship, encouraged the young man to publish papers and seek broader support for his work. In 1911, Ramanujan's 17-page paper about Bernoulli numbers appeared in the Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society. Two years later, the young mathematician wrote a 10-page letter with over 120 statements of theorems on infinite series, improper integrals, continued fractions, and number theory. The letter's recipient, a Cambridge mathematician named G.H. Hardy, had ignored previous communications from Ramanujan, but shared this latest letter with J.E. Littlewood, a university colleague. According to Hardy, the English mathematicians concluded that Ramanujan's results "must be true because, if they were not true, no one would have the imagination to invent them." 

With Hardy's help, Ramanujan was named a research scholar at the University of Madras, a position that doubled his clerk's salary and required only the submission of quarterly reports about his work. In March 1914, Ramanujan boarded a steamship for England and, upon his arrival at Cambridge University, began a five-year collaboration with G.H. Hardy. Together, the scholars identified the properties of highly composite numbers and studied the partition function and its asymptotics. They also identified the Hardy-Ramanujan number (1729), the smallest number expressible as the sum of two positive cubes in two different ways. Individually, Ramanujan made major breakthroughs with gamma functions, modular forms, divergent series, hypergeometric series, and mock theta functions. He also developed closed-form expressions for non-simple, continued fractions (Ramanujan's continued fractions) and defined a mathematical concept known as the Ramanujan prime. "I still say to myself when I am depressed, and find myself forced to listen to pompous and tiresome people," Hardy later wrote, "'Well, I have done one thing you could never have done, and that is to have collaborated with both Littlewood and Ramanujan on something like equal terms.'" 

Srinivasa Ramanujan received an honorary bachelor's degree from Cambridge University in 1916, and was later appointed a Fellow of Trinity and a Fellow of the Royal Society. Despite his professional accomplishments, Ramanujan suffered from poor health and was eventually diagnosed with tuberculosis and amoebiasis, a parasitic infection of the liver. A vegetarian, he also suffered from a severe vitamin deficiency that may have been due to the shortage of fresh fruits and vegetables in wartime England. Srinivasa Ramanujan died on April 26, 1920 at the age of 33. Today, his home state of Tamil Nadu celebrates his birthday, December 22, to memorialize both the man and his achievements.
