 | About 40 mathematicians plus several guests have participated at the meeting honoring the birth of Srinivasa Ramanujan, the greatest Indian mathematician in history. This yearly event, already fourth in order, was organized at the Mathematics Department of the Faculty of Science of the University of Zagreb. The principal sponsors were the Embassy of India, the mentioned Math Department, along with the Croatian Mathematical Society (its president Professor Vesna Županović is on the photo), and the Croatian-Indian Society. Three short, but very interesting 15 min lectures were delivered by distinguished Croatian experts Andrej Dujella, Zvonimir Šikić, and Mirko Primc. |

The meeting was greeted by representatives of the organizers of the event:
The first two celebrations of the Indian National Mathematics Day (marking the birthday of Srinivasa Ramanujan, 22nd December), organized at the Napredak Cultural Centre in Zagreb, are described here:
The third celebration was organized in December 2023 at the Mathematics Department of the Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb, where besides H. E. Raj Kumar Srivastava (who initiated these events in Zagreb), also Professors Hrvoje Šikić and Zoran Vondraček participated with their lectures. |

The third lecture, delivered by Professor Mirko Primc, was dedicated to his current work
dealing with Rogers-Ramanujan type of identities, involving tools from Representation Theory of Groups jointly
with advanced combinatorics.
