National Mathematics Day in India is celebrated on December 22nd to honor the mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. Ramanujan made extraordinary contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions despite having little formal training. He secured a job as a clerk which allowed him to devote significant time to his mathematical discoveries, and his manager encouraged him and helped get his work noticed by mathematician G.H. Hardy at Cambridge University.

8.  Finally, in 1912, he secured a job as a clerk in the
Madras Port Trust Office.
 Here, his duties were light and so he could devote a
lot of time to his mathematics discoveries.
 As luck would have it, the manager of the office,
S.N. Aiyer, was also a mathematician who took
kindly to Ramanujan and encouraged him in his
mathematics.
 It was he who suggested to Ramanujan that he
work to G.H. Hardy, a famous mathematician at
Trinity College, Cambridge University.
