Amazing Mathematics - Pi Day Celebrations 2024

Mathematics Department in association with Science Club

13 March 2024

Pi  Day is celebrated on 14 March every year as an ode to the most well-known approximation (3.14) of the mathematical constant pi (π), which is denoted by the Greek letter pi. Pi is an important concept that appears in all aspects of maths. It is a crucial concept that helps to understand the universal truths and some mathematical concepts. Mostly pi values are used in concepts like trigonometry, geometry and advanced concepts like probability, statistics, and complex numbers. The notation to denote pi is π . If you ask any scientist about pi, they will tell that the value of pi equal to the decimal value 3.14159. But when you ask a mathematician, they will tell that pi is a value which is equal to circle circumference divided by the circle diameter. It is a well-recognized mathematical constant used all over the world. 

In connection with Pi day, Mathematics Department in association with Science club conducted a Talk on “Amazing Mathematics”. 56 students from different departments of our college participated in this programme.

The program started at 10.30 am with a prayer by Department choir. Dr. Dhanya Shajin, Coordinator and Assistant Professor of Mathematics delivered the Welcome speech and Smt. Renjini S., H.O.D of Mathematics delivered the Presidential address. Dr. Sharmila P. P.,The Principal inaugurated the program .Dr. Arun S. Prasad HOD department of Physics and Dr. Divya Dinesh, Assistant Professor of Chemistry felicitated the function.   

Dr. Pravas K., Assistant Professor, Department of Mathematics, Maharaja’s College, Ernakulam, presented a power point presentation on the ‘Amazing Mathematics’. He presented various simple arithmetic problems then leads to one of the most famous unsolved problem in mathematics, collatz conjecture.

The program ended with the vote of thanks by third student Ms. Adhenna Vijay.
