Ancient mathematicians

Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920)

Srinivasa Ramanujan was an Indian mathematician who made significant contributions to number theory, despite having no formal training in mathematics. Born in Tamil Nadu, India, Ramanujan was a self-taught genius who worked as a clerk before being discovered by Cambridge professor G.H. Hardy. His work on elliptic curves, continued fractions, and infinite series led to the development of the Ramanujan prime and the Ramanujan theta function. 

Brahmagupta (598-665 CE)

Brahmagupta was an Indian mathematician and astronomer from the 7th century CE. Born in Rajasthan, India, Brahmagupta wrote two influential works: the "Brahmasphuta Siddhanta"  and the "Khandakhadyaka".

Brahmagupta's works had a significant impact on Islamic and European mathematics, shaping the development of algebra and number theory.

My Journey as a Mathematics Teacher: Internship Reflection

-
  My teaching internship at St. Joseph’s HSS, Vilakkumadom was not just a training period it was a journey that shaped me both as a teacher and as a learner. Working with Class 8C and Class 9B, I discovered how dynamic, challenging, and deeply rewarding the classroom truly is. Walking into the class for the first time, I carried a mix of excitement and nervous energy. But the students welcomed me with warmth, curiosity, and a level of enthusiasm that immediately eased my fears. They reminded me that learning is most meaningful when it is shared with open minds and sincere hearts. As Albert Einstein beautifully said, “It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.” One of the most fulfilling aspects of my internship was exploring student-centred teaching. Whether it was constructing formulas in Class 8C or guiding Class 9B to convert word problems into algebraic expressions, each lesson became an opportunity to watch students think, question...
