About US
Ramanujan mathematics academy and mathematical library is one of the oldest mathematical voluntary organizations in A.P. It was established by a group of mathematics teachers in a small village Someswram in Rayavaram Mandal E.G.Dt. A.P, for the mathematical genius Srinivasa Ramanujan on Dec 22, 1990 under the Leadership of K.V.V Satyanarayana, the president and founder of the academy.
The main objective of establishing a mathematical academy is to cultivate a good mathematical culture among the young minds, who are the most valuable natural resource for the country’s future. Children need to recognize and feel the beauty, royalty and the importance of mathematics both inside and outside the class room from the basic elementary level .They have to figure out for themselves that mathematics is not just to get good ranks but that the subject occupies a lion’s share in developing the personality of a citizen in entirety.
Furthermore, the academy hopes to make the children enjoy the subject of mathematics with various activities that show them the lives of the mathematicians’ world over, about how they achieved the success and even stood at the numero uno spot, while at the same time, leading a simple and humble life dedicated completely to the field of mathematics.
For 25 years, the academy has been dedicated to conducting various such activities for students, teachers and mathematic lovers alike, leading them to many a different, yet successful path.
Everything around you is Mathematics.
Everything around you is Numbers.
Participation of Academy National
The President and the founder of Ramanujan mathematics Academy, Mr. K.V.V. Satyanarayana is a life member of various mathematical organizations:
a) Indian Mathematical Society (I.M.S)
b) Indian Science Congress (I.S.C)
c) Association of Mathematics Teachers of Indian (A.M.T.I)
d) Delhi Association of Mathematics Teachers (D.A.M.T)
e) A.P. Society for Mathematical Sciences. (A.P.S.M.S)
In order to scale up the activities of the academy, Mr. K.V.V. Satyanarayana, on behalf of the academy, attend, along with other members, the annual conference and similar mathematical meetings in the country. On discussions with eminent and expert personalities in the national conferences, the necessary changes in the organization are discussed and implemented. This keeps the academy up to date and enables it to be run with high precision and perfection.
Recently, the academy’s president and founder Mr. K.V.V. Satyanarayana and the secretary Mr. M. Nagarjuna participated in a 15 days camp conducted by National Board of Higher Mathematics for I.M.O trainees in T.I.F.R, Bombay.
Mr. K.V.V. Satyanarayana has also participated in the National coordination camp for problem solving held in Bhubaneswar with Prof I.H.Nagaraja Rao. The members of the academy also participated in various national level conferences conducted all over the country in cities like Kochi, Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata and so on.
Key Milestones in the Journey of Mathematics Over the Last 35 Years
The library houses hundreds of mathematics books, including The World of Mathematics (4 volumes), Leelavathi Mathematics, Pavuluri Mathematics, Ramanujan's notebooks, and various international Math Olympiad problems and solutions from 1959 to the present. It also contains reference books on topics such as number theory and many other mathematical subjects. Any student is welcome to study mathematics free of charge during the library's operating hours, from 9 AM to 12 Noon.
To immortalize the legacy of Ramanujan in the hearts of students, a bronze statue of the mathematician was unveiled on April 26, 2009, on the occasion of his death anniversary. Funded by the Academy's students, with an expenditure of approximately Rs 100,000, the statue was presented to the Academy. This made the Ramanujan Mathematics Academy the first mathematical institution in India to display a bronze statue of Ramanujan, further cementing its recognition in the field of mathematical service.
Free Mathematics Training Classes:
During festivals like Dussehra and the summer holidays, special mathematics classes are conducted on various topics. These include Pythagoras' Theorem, Vedic Mathematics, Mathematical Games, Number Theory, Mathematics Olympiad problems, non-routine problems, Regional Mathematics Olympiad (RMO), Indian National Mathematics Olympiad (INMO), and more. These training sessions, both past and ongoing, have served as a source of inspiration for numerous students. In-depth study, analysis, and research in areas such as Number Theory, Geometry, and Algebra have greatly benefited students across the state.
In 1990, only one examination center was set up in Someswaram village, where 175 students participated in the mathematics competition. By 2024, the competition expanded to over 300 exam centers across various states,
with thousands of students from Class 3 to postgraduate level, including those from engineering disciplines, taking part. This growth reflects the increasing competitive spirit among students in the field of mathematics.
Despite being born blind, Sanjeevaray Sharma was known for solving extraordinary mathematical problems in just a few seconds, leaving the entire nation in awe. In his memory, the Dr. Sanjeevaray Sharma Mathematics Award has been presented since 1999 to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to the field of mathematics, accompanied by a cash prize of Rs 15,000.
Mathematics, with its vast branches and sub-branches, has expanded like a great tree, and at its core lies the ancient branch of number theory, which governs the world of numbers. These numbers are the very foundation of our world, much like the deep bond Ramanujan shared with them. In honor of his contributions, the Ramanujan Memorial Mathematics Award has been established since 2012 as part of the National Mathematics Year, recognizing mathematicians who have made significant contributions to number theory, with a cash prize of Rs 20,000.
A person who brought prestige to the teaching profession, Krishnamurthy was a passionate advocate of mathematics. He sowed the seeds of mathematical curiosity in students at the primary level. A renowned figure, he graciously invited numerous mathematicians to his home, offering them a warm and cordial welcome. In recognition of his contributions, the Krishnamurthy Memorial Teacher Award was introduced in 2013 by the Academy, with a cash prize of Rs 15,000
