Write any two Indian mathematician's biography
Answers
Answer:
1. Srinivasa Ramanujan was a brilliant mathematician who gets credited even today for his contributions in the field of mathematics. Born in the year 1887 in Tamil Nadu, Ramanujan was an exceptionally brilliant child who would outshine other children of his age in solving equations. The circumstances of his family were not good and they lived in poverty for the most part of their lives, thereby not allowing the young Ramanujan an opportunity to pursue his passion-mathematics-due to lack of proper resources. However, the laborious Ramanujan found his inspiration in the book 'Synopsis of elementary results in pure mathematics' by George S. Carr. A brilliant mathematician, Srinivasa Ramanujan is credited today for his contributions in the field of mathematics. It was due to sheer strength of determination and devotion that the immensely talented mathematician could invent some of the most crucial equations for the field of mathematical studies- game theory and infinite series. The infinite series for π is used in arithmetical calculations even today. He was invited to Cambridge by the very eminent mathematician, G.H.Hardy. Hardy after going through Ramanujan's papers was perplexed by the geniusness of his work. The papers that the young mind had brought along, from home to Cambridge, were written between the years 1903-14. While some equations had already been discovered, the remainder were entirely new for even G.H.Hardy. He was amazed at Ramanujan's insight into algebraical formulae, transformations of infinite series, etc. In the year 1916, he was awarded his Ph.D. by the university. The story of this mathematical genius is truly inspiring as Ramanujan had to practice in circumstances that didn't even let him afford enough papers to practice the equations. A slate and chalk were his most trusted aids. At a very young age, Ramanuj bid goodbye to the world in the year 1920 due to the dreaded disease, Tuberculosis.
2. Shakuntala Devi was a remarkable lady known for superfast calculations, something that had earned her the title of 'human computer'. Born in Bangalore in the year 1929, Shakuntala's talent was first observed by her father when he was training her for remembering numbers on the card for the circuses. Shakuntala's father used to work in a circus. Soon after the father-daughter duo were traveling to do street shows based on a young Shakuntala's calculations' talent. Shakuntala had by the end of the year 1944 moved to London thereby traveling across the world doing shows. After all the young prodigy was known to solve the most complex equations within seconds. So much so that the professor of psychology at California University, Arthur Jensen, had called her to the university in the year 1988 to study her exceptional capabilities. The world was stunned with Shakuntala Devi's talent. In the year 1980, her name was recorded in the Guinness Book of World Record for calculating thirteen digit numbers- 7,686,369,774,870 × 2,465,099,745,779- which were picked at random at the Computer Department of Imperial College, London. She gave the correct answer – 18,947,668,177,995,426,462,773,730- in just 28 seconds.
