GREAT MATHEMATICIANS

MATHEMATICS IN SCIENCE INNOVATION

THE ROLE of mathematics in science and technology innovation is indispensable, which has led to the emergence of STEM in science education, i.e. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

There is a logic behind every occurrence, and all manifestations take place in a sequence with a set of algorithms in place, which can be decoded and re-programmed with mathematical formulae and programming. Moreover, different phenomena hinges on a complex relationship of diverse algorithms, where deriving a newer or enhanced possibility depends on mathematical modelling, and the role of mathematics turns out to be a key determinant to derive a breakthrough.

That apart, mathematics is about reaching a definite calculative conclusion that involves solving a problem or developing newer equations, much alike a program. This experience empowers a mathematics enthusiast with logical and problem-solving skills, leading to acquiring higher critical thinking abilities. And a scientist is not necessarily an academic topper but an inventor, whose ideas flow from great thinking and an elevated visualization ability.

GREAT MATHEMATICIANS & THEOREMS

As every innovation and discovery in science and technology has an embedded contribution of Mathematics, it is imperative explore a deeper mathematical perspective in relation to the scientific principles. Hence, we are interested to study in greater depth the role of mathematicians, their thinking and works, as advances in mathematical fields play an equally important supporting role to the research endeavours of scientists.

We are listing some of the most renowned global and Indian Mathematicians who have discovered and designed path-breaking theorems and solutions. While this is not a biography of great number crunchers but a study of their thinking patterns and work that have profoundly influenced the world of mathematics and science.
