Indian School Salalah celebrated Math Day on Dec 21st  2017, to commemorate the 130th birth anniversary of Indian Mathematician, Srinivasa Ramanujan and to spread the joy of mathematics, stimulate interest and bring out creativity in applying concepts. The celebration was presided over by the president of the SMC, Dr.Debashish.C  Bhattacharya, Principal Mr.T. R Brown , Vice Principal, Mrs.Omana Mathews, Asst.Vice principal, Mr. C T Ramasamy (Academics) and Asst.Vice principal , S.Srinivasan( Admin).

Miss. Ayushi Pragya formally extended her cordial welcome to the gathering. The President and the Principal then unveiled the portrait of the mathematical genius, Sir. Srinivasa Ramanujan, fantastically painted by Mast. Abhinav of class 8. A shawl was draped on Vice Principal, Mrs.Omana Mathews, as a special mark of respect by Maths department for her untiring 36 years of service to the institution.
The program commenced with a power point presentation by Mast. Mihir Rawat, Mast Sharon and Mast Anek Santhosh, summarizing the life of the man who knew infinities, which kept the audience awestruck. This was followed by a mesmerizing Magic Square Dance by the girls of class 8, where the Principal was asked to tell out a magic constant 36 (multiple of 3) and the girls formed a magic square through their dance. In the much awaited mind-boggling Sudoku Contest, Ann Maria and Akhila Anup won the 1st and 2nd prize, respectively, in the junior category. In the senior category, Miss Riya Jacob won the 1st place, cracking the puzzle in just 1:15 s and Miss Sarvani falling close behind with a timing of 1:20s.
The Skit performed by the students of class 7 and 8 brought on to stage the entire life history of Sir Srinivasa Ramnajun. Though Ramanujan had no formal training in pure mathematics; he made significant contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. His love for Math was so much that he failed in most of the other subjects in school!
This was followed by the Rubik’s Cube competition won by Miss Srujuna and Jonathan in the 5th and 6th classes category, Mast.Zeyad and Mast. Adil in the 7th and 8th classes category and Mast Darin Carvalho solved the cube in 21s breaking the previous records and clinching the first place followed closely by Mast. Ahad Anzar who took 22s.
Miss. Linnet Lisa Saju mesmerized the audience with her poem on mathematics. A fun filled origami session was conducted where everyone present made a paper envelope. The president of the SMC, Dr. Debashish.C. Bhattacharya, specially congratulated Miss. Srujuna once again, and expressed his views on how no gender was superior to the other and anyone could come up with the right attitude and hardwork.
The Maths day celebration 2017 ended with the Vote of Thanks proposed by Miss Bhumi Milan Thanki.
