To celebrate the beauty and importance of mathematics and its essential role in everyone’s life the International Mathematical Union (IMU) has led the project to have UNESCO proclaim March 14 as the International Day of Mathematics (IDM). On November 26th 2019, the 40th General Conference of UNESCO approved the Proclamation of March 14 as the International Day of Mathematics.
March 14 is already known as Pi Day and celebrated in many countries around the world. The IDM celebration expands Pi Day to include the whole spectrum of mathematics. Every year a new theme will be announced to flavor the celebration, spark creativity and bring light to connections between mathematics and all sorts of fields, concepts and ideas. The theme for 2021 is "Mathematics for a Better World".
