  • Bengal 1876-1947: Asutosh Mookerjee and Mathematics*
    Indian Journal of History of Science, 47.2 (2012) 305-310 SCIENCE AND NATIONALISM IN BENGAL 1876-1947: ASUTOSH MOOKERJEE AND MATHEMATICS* Chittabrata Palit** The current title is a part of the larger project, ‘Science and Nationalism in Bengal 1876-1947’ and this is the sixth of the series. Asutosh Mookerjee is a celebrity in his own right in the field of education, but his contribution to mathematics has been more specific like his contributions to conic geometry. It is well known that he was a versatile scholar in Bengali, Sanskrit, Mathematics and law. This work was contemplated to highlight his excellence in mathematics. This has been put in the nationalist perspective under colonialism as the colonial government did not encourage higher studies in sciences. The lurking fear of the government was that in a country of natural abundance like India, it would lead to her economic development and possibility of an industrial revolution here. This would challenge the supremacy of Manchester and Sheffield. So, rudimentary science and technology were allowed in the Indian universities to man the colonial scientific establishment. Naturally, the highly talented graduates of science felt deprived of achieving excellence in science. Asutosh was born in the colonial milieu. He was a child prodigy. He solved all the theorems of Euclid before he completed his school studies. In the years in Presidency College, he went on to study Laplace in the original in Latin and French. He also studied continental mathematicians in his field and showed alternative ways of solving problems of conics. He was a frequent contributor to the Journal of Asiatic Society of Bengal where he published a dozen learned papers.

  • Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray Nitai Chandra Mandal, FNA Ex-Professor, Department of Biochemistry, Bose Institute, Kolkata
    Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray Nitai Chandra Mandal, FNA Ex-Professor, Department of BioChemistry, Bose Institute, Kolkata Prafulla Chandra Ray was born in the village of Raruli in the District of Jessore (now Khulna) in the then undivided Bengal (now Bangladesh) on August 2, 1861. In the same year, two other great personaliteis, one Rabindranath Tagore was born at Jorasanko, Calcutta, and the other Mr Motilal Nehru was born at Allahabad. Also during the same year, the 81st element in the Mendeleev‟s Periodic Table, Thallium was discovered in the Crook‟s Chemical Laboratory. His father, Harish Chandra Ray was a wealthy land lord, He was the youngest among his brothers. Harish Chandra was a very meritorious student. But, during his study at Krishnanagar College, suddenly his father died. Such circumstance compelled him to discontinue his study and come back to Raruli for taking the responsibility of looking after the Zamindary. He became an active associate of the then New Bengal Movement and engaged himself for the spread of education in his locality. By virtue of his attachment to various federal committees as member, he had close association with many high profile personalities. He was well versed in several languages like English, Parsi, Arabic and Sanskrit. He built a library at home where he kept many books covering all the above languages. Besides, he used to subscribe regularly various News Papers and Magazines So, Prafulla Chandra had the opportunity to utilize this literary environment at home to build the foundation of learning above languages and developing interest in literatures. Through the reading of editorials and criticisms in all those news papers and magazines, he developed the attitude of expressing his personal opinion on any issue, which, actually, was reflected in his various writings in the future.

  • Shyamadas Chatterjee Experimenter Par Excellence!
    GENERAL ¨ ARTICLE Shyamadas Chatterjee Experimenter Par Excellence! Amit Roy Shyamadas Chatterjee was a versatile experimental physicist who followed the tradition of instrument building set up by the pioneers of modern science in India. He was successful in initiating research in many diverse fields in the country with very modest resources. Amit Roy is currently at Introduction the Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre after The beginnings of the modern scientific explorations that started working at Tata Institute in the late nineteen hundreds in Kolkata were characterised by an of Fundamental Research emphasis on experimental investigations with instruments de- and Inter-University signed and fabricated locally by pioneers like Acharya Jagadish Accelerator Centre. His research interests are in Chandra Bose [1], Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray [2], and Sir nuclear, atomic and Chandrasekhar Venkata Raman [3]. This tradition was kept alive accelerator physics. by those who immediately followed them, notably Debendra Mohan Bose and his student Shyamadas Chatterjee, first at the University of Calcutta and then at the Bose Institute. Shyamadas was born on 29 June 1909 in a well-to-do family at Sarsuna, a suburb of Kolkata. He did his schooling in Kolkata, Hazaribagh and Cuttack as his father had a transferable job. He passed his MSc from University College of Science, University of Calcutta in 1932 and joined D M Bose for research at the University. Early Work Initially, Shyamadas studied properties of matter, the variation of viscosity and the dielectric constant of liquids under varying electric and magnetic fields. He built most of the instruments Keywords himself out of his fellowship money.
