At age 12, despite lacking a formal education, he excelled at trigonometry and developed many theorems for himself. Ramanujan’s mathematical genius was such that he discovered his own theorems and independently compiled 3900 results.

India's National Mathematics Day is celebrated every 22 nd December with numerous Educational events held at schools and universities throughout the country. In 2017, the day's significance was enhanced by the opening of the Ramanujan Math Park in Kuppam, in Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh. National Mathematics day 2021 was celebrated by the Department of Basic Science on 23 rd December 2021 by conducting various competitions to all students like Power Point Presentation, Penc il Sketch Portrait, and Collage making at Sri Ramasabha Bhavana, Sir M Visvesarayya Hall and Homi J Baba Hall, VCET. Dr Mahesh Prasanna K, The Principal, VCET graced the occasion. HoD’s of various departments were part of this program.
