Mathematics is the language of communication which has its roots and applications in almost major area of science, technology, commerce, arts, history and even in information technology. The development of mathematics has emerged out of needs and necessity of the time. Mathematics gave the scope for exploration of universe and development of human kind. In the history of mathematics, India played a very crucial role by the inventing zero. The credit goes to the great astronomer and mathematician Aryabhatta. Over the period, many learned scientists, philosophers and mathematicians have progress the subject with sub classifications according to the characteristics, properties, functions and use like asthmatics, algebra, calculus, geometry, trigonometry, set theory and many more. One of the great modern mathematicians from India Sri Srinivasa Ramanujan whose intelligent work and tricks made the global group to take the note of his contribution and forced the world to recognized his efforts. Government of India announced the year 2012 as a National Year of Mathematics to commemorate his 125th birth anniversary. Large scale programmes were organised by various groups across the country. Over the year efforts, Vigyan Prasar realised the need and necessity of the subject where it has been noted that the mathematics is considered as a hard and difficult to learn and teach in the schools and colleges. Therefore, to sensitize the teachers towards the mathematics education and communication through hands on activities, demonstrations and exercises, Vigyan Prasar has taken the initiative of conducting more than 30 nationwide two days sensitization workshops in the year to come. The targeted components of the workshop are: • India's Contribution in Mathematics • Mathematics and Daily life • Lecture on Mathematics Today and Tomorrow • Lecture on “Teaching Mathematics :an approach” • Hands on- Mathematics • Screening of film on Srinivasa Ramanujan • Experience sharing(Open House Discussion) • Career and opportunity in Mathematics If you are school teacher or science activists and has a keen interest in teaching and learning mathematics for the betterment of students and society, then it is the right opportunity for you to enroll yourself the sensitization workshop getting carried out at various places across the country.
