I understand that the Society is organizing frontline seminars and conferences for our younger generation to sow the seeds of curiosity and to enhance their knowledge base. You may recall that this year, we are celebrating the 150th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, one of the greatest spiritual leaders of India. He once observed: “you know how many sciences had their origin in India.
Mathematics began there. You are even today counting 1, 2, 3, etc. to zero, after Sanskrit figures, and you all know that algebra also originated in India”. It is, therefore, very appropriate that the college, which is named after Swami Vivekananda, is organizing this conference on Mathematics coinciding with the 150th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda. 2.
