  • Profiles and Prospects*
    Indian Journal of History of Science, 47.3 (2012) 473-512 MATHEMATICS AND MATHEMATICAL RESEARCHES IN INDIA DURING FIFTH TO TWENTIETH CENTURIES — PROFILES AND PROSPECTS* A K BAG** (Received 1 September 2012) The Birth Centenary Celebration of Professor M. C. Chaki (1912- 2007), former First Asutosh Birth Centenary Professor of Higher Mathematics and a noted figure in the community of modern geometers, took place recently on 21 July 2012 in Kolkata. The year 2012 is also the 125th Birth Anniversary Year of great mathematical prodigy, Srinivas Ramanujan (1887-1920), and the Government of India has declared 2012 as the Year of Mathematics. To mark the occasion, Dr. A. K. Bag, FASc., one of the students of Professor Chaki was invited to deliver the Key Note Address. The present document made the basis of his address. Key words: Algebra, Analysis, Binomial expansion, Calculus, Differential equation, Fluid and solid mechanics, Function, ISI, Kerala Mathematics, Kut..taka, Mathemtical Modeling, Mathematical Societies - Calcutta, Madras and Allahabad, Numbers, Probability and Statistics, TIFR, Universities of Calcutta, Madras and Bombay, Vargaprakr.ti. India has been having a long tradition of mathematics. The contributions of Vedic and Jain mathematics are equally interesting. However, our discussion starts from 5th century onwards, so the important features of Indian mathematics are presented here in phases to make it simple. 500-1200 The period: 500-1200 is extremely interesting in the sense that this is known as the Golden (Siddha–ntic) period of Indian mathematics. It begins * The Key Note Address was delivered at the Indian Association for Cultivation of Science (Central Hall of IACS, Kolkata) organized on behalf of the M.C.

    Mathematics IISER BHOPAL The Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Bhopal was established in the year 2008 by the Government of India to promote research and education in basic sciences. The Department of Mathematics at IISER Bhopal has gradually grown to become one of the leading centres in the country for mathematical research and education. It is our constant endeavour to conduct quality research in mathematics, and to train students by providing them a broad and solid foundation in pure and applied mathematics and thereby prepare them for pursuing an academic career in mathematics and a non-academic employment in private and government sectors. The Department offers three degree programs: BS-MS (dual degree), Integrated Ph.D., and Ph.D. These programs attract highly motivated students from all over the country. Our students have secured admissions into the Ph.D. programs at reputed universities and institutes in the country and abroad, and have been recruited by various non-academic organisations. The Department has nineteen faculty members. They represent a wide spectrum of research areas in mathematics. In particular, the Department has strong research groups in the areas of algebra, analysis, geometry, and topology. The Department Dr. Saurabh Shrivastava, aims to strengthen these areas further and expand to diversify into newer areas such as Applied Mathematics, Probability and Statistics in the near future. This will Head of the Department of Mathematics, promote the multidisciplinary research within the department. We have taken up several initiatives in the past to promote and enhance the research IISER Bhopal. and teaching environment in the department.

    IMU BULLETIN OF THE INTERNATIONAL MATHEMATICAL UNION No. 59 October 2010 Secretariat: up to December 31, 2010 c/o Konrad-Zuse-Zentrum Takustr. 7 D-14195 Berlin, Germany as of January 1, 2011 International Mathematical Union Secretariat Markgrafenstr. 32 D-10117 Berlin, Germany http://www.mathunion.org Dear Members of the International Mathematical Union, This release1 is the post-congress bulletin of the IMU of 2010. It contains the report of the meeting of the 16th General Assembly which took place on August 16-17, 2010 in Bangalore, India, and a summary of the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the International Congress of Mathematicians 2010, August 19-27, 2010, Hyderabad, India. The delegates of the 16th General Assembly made important decisions. They elected the Executive Committee of the IMU, IMU’s Commission for Developing Countries and the IMU representatives to the International Commission on the History of Mathematics for the term 2011-2014. The delegates of the IMU Adhering Organizations decided that a permanent secretariat of the IMU be established and that this permanent secretariat be hosted by the Weierstrass Institute in Berlin, Germany. The delegates approved the 2011-2014 budget and membership dues and a number of Statutes changes. The location of the ICM 2014 and of the meeting of the 17th IMU General Assembly was also adopted. And finally, 6 applications for IMU (associate and affiliate) membership were approved by the delegates. ICM 2010 was another high point in IMU’s history. One reason for this was, no doubt, that India’s President graced the congress with her presence.
