                When we write a date for a particular day in a year, we mention three parts: the day
                (number), the month and the year.

                examples:  a.  3rd February, 2016 or February 3, 2016
                                b.  10th March, 2017 or March 10, 2017

                                c.  31st July, 2018 or July 31, 2018

                In  mathematics,  dates are often  written  in a different  format.  In  India, we write

                14th March 2026 as 14/03/26 which is the DD/MM/YY pattern but the same date in USA
                is written as 03/14/26 which is the MM/DD/YY pattern. Here D = Day, M = Month and
                Y = Year.

                We remember many important days.

                    Independence Day = 15th August

                    Republic Day = 26th January

                    Gandhi Jayanti = 2nd October

                    Teacher’s Day = 5th September

                There are many important days in mathematics that we celebrate.
                    22nd December = National Mathematics Day

                    14th March = World Pi Day

                    22nd July = Pi Approximation Day

                We write a date as a group of three numbers separated by dots or slashes (/). The

                first number shows the day, the second shows the month and the third shows the
                year.

                example: 15th August, 1947 shall be written in the short form as:

                                            15     .    08      .    47      (DD/MM/YY)

                                           Day        Month         Year

                                                        or

                                            15     /    08      /   1947     (DD/MM/YYYY)

                                           Day        Month         Year
