Mini Project 22-12-2021 (FIRST YEAR)

The Department of Mathematics, in collaboration with the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC), organized a mini-project presentation on the topic "Biography of Ramanujan" for the first-year mathematics students on 22-12-2021. The objective of the presentation was to provide students with an insight into the life and contributions of the renowned mathematician, Srinivasa Ramanujan. There were 43 participants were there The session commenced with Hiba delivering a brief note on Mathematics Day, highlighting the significance of the field and its impact on various aspects of our lives. This introduction set the tone for the subsequent presentations and created enthusiasm among the participants. Following Hiba's introduction, Fathima Farsana took the stage and provided an insightful introduction to the biography of Ramanujan. She shared details about his early life, education, and his remarkable journey from a self-taught mathematician to a celebrated figure in the field of mathematics. Shahla Hahanab, the next presenter, gave a comprehensive explanation of Ramanujan's notable inventions. She shed light on his groundbreaking work in number theory, including his contributions to the partition function, prime numbers, and modular forms. Her presentation demonstrated the depth and significance of Ramanujan's mathematical insights. Rifa then took the opportunity to delve into the topic of arithmetic and geometric series, connecting it to Ramanujan's work. She highlighted how Ramanujan's findings in this area revolutionized the field of mathematics and paved the way for further advancements. Farhana followed with a presentation on Ramanujan's puzzles. She showcased some of the intriguing mathematical puzzles Ramanujan had devised, challenging the participants to apply their problem-solving skills and think creatively. Her presentation engaged the audience and encouraged active participation. Fathimath Afeefa focused on Ramanujan's contributions to continued fractions. She explained the concept of continued fractions and how Ramanujan's work had a significant impact on the understanding and applications of these fractions in mathematics. Afeefa's presentation provided the audience with valuable insights into this lesser-known aspect of Ramanujan's work. Finally,Mohammed Shaijal Ameen concluded the session by summarizing the key points covered in the presentations. He emphasized the importance of Ramanujan's contributions to mathematics and encouraged the participants to explore further and appreciate the depth of his work. Overall, the mini-project presentation on the biography of Ramanujan was a successful event. It provided an enriching learning experience for the first-year mathematics students, enabling them to gain a deeper understanding of Ramanujan's life and his immense contributions to the field of mathematics. The event showcased the enthusiasm and dedication of both the participants and the presenters, further fostering a passion for mathematics within the student community.
