1. Dattaraya Ramchandra Kaprekar
Dattaraya Ramchandra Kaprekar was an
Indian mathematician who lived from (1905–
1986)
He discovered several results in
number theory, including a class of numbers
and a constant named after him.
Despite having no formal postgraduate
training and working as a schoolteacher, he
published extensively and became well known
in recreational mathematics circles.
Kaprekar received his secondary school
education in Thane and studied at
Fergusson College in Pune. In 1927 he won
the Wrangler R. P. Paranjpe Mathematical
Prize for an original piece of work in
mathematics.
2. Bharati Krishna Tirthaji
• Jagadguru Swami Sri Bhārati Kṛṣṇ a
Tīrthaji Mahāraja (March, 1884 – February
2, 1960) was the Sankaracharya of the
Govardhana matha of Puri during 1925–
1960. He was one of the most significant
spiritual figures inHinduism during the 20th
century. He is particularly known for his
book Vedic Mathematics.
• His book, Vedic Mathematics, comprises
many algorithms. He revealed his source in
the ancient Hindu Vedas. Some are
intuitively reconstructed from
the Atharva Veda and from Parisistas
(appendix) of the Atharva Veda. "The
Upaveda of Sthapatya (engineering)
comprises all kinds of architectural and
structural human endeavor and all visual arts
(and mathematics)." His work seems to be a
whole Parisistas (appendix) itself.
3. S.R.Srinivasa Varadhan
• Sathamangalam Ranga Iyengar Srinivasa
Varadhan FRS (born 2 January 1940) is anIndian
American mathematician who is known for his
fundamental contributions toprobability theory
and in particular for creating a unified theory of
large deviations.
•Varadhan is currently a professor at the Courant
Institute.[5][6] He is known for his work with
Daniel W. Stroock on diffusion processes, and for
his work on large deviations with M. D. Donsker.

Cawnpore), British India. He was educated at
B.N.S.D. College, Kanpur, and at the University
of Allahabad. After receiving his masters degree
in Physics in 1943, he moved to the Indian
Institute of Science, Bangalore for further
studies in theoretical physics and worked with
Homi J. Bhabha.
