C S Venkitaraman
C. S. Venkataraman (14 September 1918 – 16 March 1994), popularly known as CSV, was a mathematician from Kerala, India. He specialised in the theory of numbers, his forte was the theory of arithmetic functions. Known to his friends as CSV, Venkataraman was born at Chelakkara, a small village in Thrissur District, India, on 14 September 1918 as the son of late C V Subbarama Iyer, who was also a professor of mathematics at the University College, Trivandrum, for a long time and later as the principal in 1951. After his early education in his native village and in Trivandrum, he had his higher education at the Presidency College, Chennai, where he had the opportunity of studying under the eminent K. Ananda Rau, who was a contemporary and a friend of Ramanujan and a student of Hardy at University of Cambridge. Naturally, CSV got the inspiration to become a mathematician from his great professor, Ananda Rau, and also, he got an opportunity to get introduced to another mathemat ...

G H Hardy
Godfrey Harold Hardy (7 February 1877 – 1 December 1947) was an English mathematician, known for his achievements in number theory and mathematical analysis. In biology, he is known for the Hardy–Weinberg principle, a basic principle of population genetics. G. H. Hardy is usually known by those outside the field of mathematics for his 1940 essay ''A Mathematician's Apology'', often considered one of the best insights into the mind of a working mathematician written for the layperson. Starting in 1914, Hardy was the mentor of the Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, a relationship that has become celebrated.THE MAN WHO KNEW INFINITY: A Life of the Genius Ramanujan .

World Directory Of Mathematicians
The ''World Directory of Mathematicians'' (WDM) was a directory book listing contact information of active mathematicians around the world. It was published by the International Mathematical Union every four years between 1958 and 2002, with the exception of the second edition published in 1961 and the sixth in 1979. History The idea of publishing an international directory of mathematicians was suggested by Ferdinand Rudio, one of the organizers of the first International Congress of Mathematicians held in Zürich in 1897. The first edition of the ''World Directory of Mathematicians'' was published in 1958. The work was carried out by the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research led by Komaravolu Chandrasekharan. He continued to serve as the editor for the second and third editions of the ''Directory''. The first edition of the ''Directory'' listed about 3500 active mathematicians. The total number grew to over 10 000 in the third edition, which contained for the first time a li ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Indian Mathematical Society
Indian Mathematical Society (IMS) is the oldest organization in India devoted to the promotion of study and research in mathematics. The Society was founded in April 1907 by V. Ramaswami Aiyar with its headquarters at Pune. The Society started its activities under the tentatively proposed name ''Analytic Club'' and the name was soon changed to ''Indian Mathematical Club''. After the adoption of a new constitution in 1910, the society acquired its present name, namely, the Indian Mathematical Society. The first president of the Society was B. Hanumantha Rao. Publications The Society publishes two periodicals both of which are quarterly: *The ''Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society'' (''JIMS'': ISSN 0019-5839) *''The Mathematics Student'' (''Math Student'': ) The 1911 volume of the ''Journal'' contains one of the earliest contributions of the Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan.

Multiplicative Function
In number theory, a multiplicative function is an arithmetic function ''f''(''n'') of a positive integer ''n'' with the property that ''f''(1) = 1 and f(ab) = f(a)f(b) whenever ''a'' and ''b'' are coprime. An arithmetic function ''f''(''n'') is said to be completely multiplicative (or totally multiplicative) if ''f''(1) = 1 and ''f''(''ab'') = ''f''(''a'')''f''(''b'') holds ''for all'' positive integers ''a'' and ''b'', even when they are not coprime. Examples Some multiplicative functions are defined to make formulas easier to write: * 1(''n''): the constant function, defined by 1(''n'') = 1 (completely multiplicative) * Id(''n''): identity function, defined by Id(''n'') = ''n'' (completely multiplicative) * Id''k''(''n''): the power functions, defined by Id''k''(''n'') = ''n''''k'' for any complex number ''k'' (completely multiplicative). As special cases we have ** Id0(''n'') = 1(''n'') and ** Id1(''n'') = Id(''n''). * ''ε''(''n''): the function defined by ''ε''(''n'') ...

P Kesava Menon
Puliyakot Keshava Menon (1917 – 22 October 1979) was an Indian mathematician best known as Director of the Joint Cipher Bureau. His sudden demise on 22 October 1979, ended active research in the areas of number theory, combinatorics, algebra and cryptography. Early life P. Kesava Menon was born (1917) in Alathur, which is now part of the Palakkad District of Kerala state in India. His mother, Devaky Amma, hailed from the Kunissery Puliyakot family and, as per custom, Kesava Menon took his family name from his mother. His father, A K Krishnan Unni Kartha, hailed from Aiyiloor in the Palghat district. Menon grew up on Alathur under his uncle's supervision and hence his primary and high school education was conducted in modest surrounding at Alathur itself. Higher education As was the custom for bright students from landed families those days, Menon had to travel to Madras city and join the Madras Christian College for his higher studies. There, he completed his MA in Math ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
