Applied mathematics is used in various fields of science to lead a developed or advanced lifestyle. It is known as the universal language. There is no such field where mathematics is not used.
Some additional data
Ramanujan born in 1887 December 22 at Erode ( Madras presidency) and died in 1920 April 26 only at the age of 32 at Kumbakonam (Madras presidency).
During his short life period, he has amassed about 3900 theorems of equations & identities. His famous works are Ramanujan’s theta function, Ramanujan prime, partition formulae mock theta function.
His famous discoveries are elliptical integrals, zeta functions equations, hypergeometric series etc.
International mathematics day is observed globally on March 14th for global awareness about the importance of mathematics.
The essence of this day intensified in value in the year 2017 with the inauguration of Ramanujan’s Math Park in chittor, Kumpam, Andhra Pradesh.
The speciality of Ramanujan’s magic square is that when we add the numbers of it row-wise, column-wise, diagonally, every small square or in many ways the summation results will be 139 in each case. The most special thing about the square is, in its first row mentioned Ramanujan’s birth date i.e. 22.12.1887.

4. One important or interesting thing about this mathematics day?
Ans:- Personally which I feel very interesting is about the Hardy- Ramanujan number i.e. 1729. There is a small story behind it and Ramanujan pointed out this number’s speciality. It is the smallest natural number which we can write it in two different cubic summation. It is the speciality of this number.
1729=13+ 123 = 93 +103
