This book is a compilation of biographies of 22 mathematicians from Pythagoras to Harish-Chandra. These pieces have earlier appeared in Vigyan Prasar's Dream-2047, a monthly newsletter. Hence mathematical expressions have been kept to a minimum. Since each essay has been written to be complete in itself, there are some boxed relevant quotations as an introduction and a short list of references at the end of each of them.

Abstract


This book is a compilation of biographies of 22 mathematicians from Pythagoras to Harish-Chandra. These pieces have earlier appeared in Vigyan Prasar's Dream-2047, a monthly newsletter. Hence mathematical expressions have been kept to a minimum. Since each essay has been written to be complete in itself, there are some boxed relevant quotations as an introduction and a short list of references at the end of each of them.
