The International Day of Mathematics is observed every year on March 14. This date was chosen because it matches the first three digits of the mathematical constant π (3.14), which is widely celebrated in mathematics and science communities. The day was officially declared by UNESCO in 2019 to highlight the importance of mathematics in education, research, technology, and daily life. It aims to promote mathematical literacy, encourage curiosity about numbers, and show how mathematics plays a role in solving real-world problems. Schools, universities, and scientific organizations around the world celebrate the day with workshops, competitions, public talks, and interactive activities, making mathematics accessible and engaging for everyone.
