Indian

mathematician
By:Maharoof
Ramanajan

It should come as no surprise that the first recorded


use of the number zero, recently discovered to be
made as early as the 3rd or 4th century, happened in
India. Mathematics on the Indian subcontinent has a
rich history going back over 3,000 years and thrived
for centuries before similar advances were made in
Europe, with its influence meanwhile spreading to
China and the Middle East. As well as giving us the
concept of 0.
Shakuntala Devi

On 18 June 1980, she demonstrated the
multiplication of two 13-digit numbers –
7,686,369,774,870 × 2,465,099,745,779. These
numbers were picked at random by the
Department of Computing at Imperial
College London. She correctly answered
18,947,668,177,995,426,462,773,730 in 28
seconds, which was the time taken by her to
speak the answer.[2][3] This event was
recorded in the 1982 Guinness Book of World
Records.
aryabhata
 value of pi correct to 4 decimal places,
circumference of Earth to 99.8 per cent
accuracy. His works include the
famous Aryabhatiya which he wrote
when he was just 23 years old. He
influenced other future mathematicians
and thinkers like Lalla, Bhaskara I,
Brahmagupta, Varahamihira.
D.R kaprekar
Dattathreya Ramchandra Kaprekar was
born on January 17, 1905 in Dahanu,
Maharashtra. He was a recreational
mathematician who described several
classes of natural numbers including the
Kaprekar, Harshad and Self numbers and
discovered the Kaprekar constant. He
published extensively and became well
known in recreational mathematics circles
without an formal doctorate.
C.R rao
 Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao (C R Rao) was
born on September 10, 1920 in Mysore. He is an
Indian-born and now naturalized American citizen.
A mathematician and statistician, he is currently
professor emeritus at Penn State University and
Research Professor at the University at Buffalo. His
contributions include estimation theory, statistical
inference and linear models multivariate analysis,
combinatorial design, orthogonal arrays, biometry,
statistical genetics, generalized matrix inverses and
functional equations.
