World Math Day

World Math Day is an international holiday dedicated to mathematics. It is a fundamental science that has evolved over thousands of years. Thanks to the successes of great mathematicians, countless inventions have been created, as well as much progress in various fields of human endeavor (construction, engineering, programming, etc.). The holiday is celebrated every year on March 23.

History

The history of World Math Day begins in 2007. The initiative to create the holiday was taken by the online learning platform 3P Learning. Since then, the largest math competition has taken place every year. Participants must solve problems of varying difficulty and show that they are the best at it. This amazing science holiday allows each of us to look at math from a different angle.

Mathematics is an interesting, useful, and multifaceted discipline. Maybe you had a bad teacher at school because you can’t just teach math. A particle of love for this science must be shared so that students feel it, not just see sterile numbers, expressions, and problem conditions!
