Evaluation: Christian Rousseau, the initiator of International Mathematics Day and a professor at the University of Montreal in Canada, said: "Mathematics is a research field that runs through human history.

" "In my opinion, it is long overdue to set up an international math day. "Adervall Thorarinn, a Nigerian mathematician and former president of the African Mathematical Union, said:" Mathematics makes our life more comfortable because everything has mathematics. " The theme of the first International Mathematics Day is "Mathematics is everywhere". According to the International Mathematical Union, mathematics plays a fundamental role in almost every field of human daily life: climate science, medical imaging, search engines, artificial intelligence, and even the ongoing infectious disease control around the world need mathematical modeling.
