DEVELOPMENT IN GEOMETRY FROM ANCIENT ERA TO MODERN ERA’
Name the Indian Mathematician along with the contribution in Chronological order (at least 10 mathematicians)
Answers
Answer:
Here is your answer, hope it will help you
1. Srinivasa Ramanujan
He is most famously known for his contribution in analytical theory of numbers, elliptic functions, continued fractions and infinite series.
2. Aryabhata
Aryabhata from ancient history was actually the first person to figure out that earth was spherical and revolved around the sun, thereby discovering the nine planets and calculating the correct number of days in a year were 365.
3. Shakuntala Devi
The most famous female Indian mathematician of all time, Shakuntala Devi, was more commonly known as the human computer. She was so called because of her incredible talent to solve calculations without using any calculator. In Dallas she even competed with a computer to give the cube root of 188138517 faster and she won! She went ahead to compete with UNIVAC the world’s fastest computer to solve the 23rd root of a 201 digit number and she won that too!
4. Harish-Chandra
The Indian originated American physicist and mathematician is famously known for infinite dimensional group representation theory. He made various contributions throughout his lifetime and has also be awarded with the cole prize by the American mathematical society.
5. C. R. Rao
C. R. Rao is a mathematical statistician is most famous for theory of estimation. He achieved his masters in mathematics from Andhra University after which he graduated in statistics from Calcultta University. He is also known for his contribution in discovering Cramer-Rao bound and the Rao-Blackwell theorem.
6. P. C. Mahalanobis
Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis was another well renowned Indian statistician just like Rao. He graduated from university of Cambridge in physics and mathematics. Popular for his work in discovering the D2 statistics (used for divergence based groupings). He was also the founder of Indian Statistical Institute.
7. C. P. Ramanujam
Besides his passion in the field of mathematics he also enjoyed spending his leisure time listening to music. This brilliant mind achieved the power of knowledge and worked in the fields of number theory and algebraic geometry. He was eventually elected a fellow of Indian Academy of Sciences.
8. Brahmagupta
He gave four methods of multiplication and his main contribution was the introduction of zero and the fact that zero (0) stood for ‘nothing’ in the world of mathematics.
9. Hemachandra
His most significant contribution in mathematics was his initial version of the Fibonacci sequence. He was not only a mathematician but also a scholar, polymath, poet who wrote on grammar, philosophy and contemporary history. Therefore his contributions are not only restricted to math but over all the various different fields that he had mastered over.
10. Satyendra Nath Bose
Till this date Bose must be the most famous Indian mathematician, specifically due to his association with the ingenious Albert Einstein. Bose sent his mathematical researches to Einstein and this lead to the discovery of the Bose-Einstein condensate phenomenon. He was rewarded by the Indian government for his contributions.
