  • The Forgotten Mathematician Dattatreya Mukherjee MBBS Student, Jinan University, P.R China
    The Forgotten Mathematician Dattatreya Mukherjee MBBS Student, Jinan University, P.R China Abstract: There are thousands of researchers who are still unrecognized but they had done really ground breaking works. But, due to many reasons they are in the black side of the fame. Many people do not even know their name, so it’s very much unusual to expect the knowledge of their works. Dr. Vashishtha Narayan Singh is one of them. He is famous for all his ground breaking works in mathematics, but true how many people from India even know his name. Even Government of India did not recognize this person in his life time. But finally, in 2020, he was awarded Padmashri, the fourth highest civilian award from Government of India. So, there is a big question why India and the world keep this great person unrecognized. In this paper we will try to know this forgotten mathematician and also will try to know why the world never give a proper recognition to this legend. Introduction: Dr. Vashishtha Narayan Singh is the example of a true brilliant. He was born in 2nd April 1946 in a police family where his father Lal Bahadur Singh was a police constable at Basantpur village, Bhojpur district, Bihar, India and his mother was Lahaso Devi. (1) His incredible journey from a small village in Bihar's Siwan district to a PhD program at the University of California, Berkeley, in the United States, has all the makings of a great obscurity-to-fame story. He showed early on that he could work with numbers, and a mathematical fairy tale started to unfold.
