Dear Sir / Madam,
“Everyone of Ramanujan’s theorems was worked out and not
devised in a flash –Prof.Berndt.
Greetings and good wishes from the Sethu Bhaskara Family.
When the mathematical genius Srinivasa Ramanujan was as young
as you, little did he realize that his love for algebra would take him to
greatheights in the world of mathematics. He was so obsessed with
equations that long after his death some of his mathematical
equations are stillbeing researched by scholars around the globe.
This comes with years of hard work and perseverance. His young mind
wasconstantly being moulded to be a mathematical sensation. With this
in mind every year we conduct the Young Ramanujan competitionto give
the students the opportunity to showcase their skills. This is theirchance
to prove to the Chennai city and the rest of the world that they have
the intellect of Ramanujan in them. So let this be an invitation
extended to all the students to participate in this competition.
This is the golden opportunity to prove their mettle. So what are they
waiting for? Let the students puton their Mathematical hats and
submit their names to participate in a competition of a life time to prove
to the world that Mathematics can be fun.
Come ! Join !! Win !!!
