The World Maths Day was first celebrated on 14th March 2007. Later, in the year 2010, World Maths Day won A Guinness World Record, for holding the longest online Mathematics competition. UNICEF became the charity partner of The World’s Maths Day.

In the year 2007, when the first World maths day was held, 287,000 students participated from 98 countries across the world answered 38,904,275 questions. Then with the passing years, the number of students started increasing. 

The student who performs well in the competition gets to win a number of awards. The champions and the top ten students in the world are awarded gold medals every year.

National Mathematics Day is celebrated to commemorate the contributions of Srinivasa Ramanujan in the history of Mathematics. He was born in the year 1887. After completing his studies after a lot of financial difficulties, he got a scholarship in Government Arts College, Kumbakonam. But he was so focussed in maths that he could not focus on any other subject and thus, failed in all the subjects except maths, losing his scholarship.

Srinivasa never got formal training for his extraordinary capabilities in maths. He was gifted with it. 

His contributions are innumerable in the field of maths. He had provided a new dimension to infinite series, number theory, mathematical analysis, etc. thus, the celebration of the national mathematics day started to inspire more youth to pursue their dreams and ambitions.

In the end, one must work hard to achieve one’s goals. Be it World Maths Day or The National Mathematics Day, the end line that both these days celebrate and cherish is the discovering of the subject Mathematics.

It could be dread for most, but still, it is a subject that is loved by many. Without mathematics, it would become impossible to deal with our daily chores. Maths is everywhere. 

So, one should at least try to know the most of this subject as it is like salt, if there are no maths, there will be nothing one could not imagine their lives without numbers.
