Indian mathematician
POPULARITY
Many of us have plenty of experiences with math, especially when we were younger. Perhaps some of your memories of what math was like for you in school are unpleasant, to say the least. Yet there are many people who are passionate about mathematics, especially Christians who see mathematics as the God-given language by which we can better understand not only the physical world around us, but God Himself. Naturalism has no real answers for why mathematics is so useful and even beautiful and practical not only for doing science, but in our everyday lives. And how are beauty and mathematics linked? What do beauty and math tell us about God Himself? This week we wrap up our conversation with youth leader, math professor, friend of Watchman Fellowship and Christian apologist Paige Lehrmann. Paige will share with us her passion about mathematics, beauty, and how we can incorporate them in our defense for the hope that is in us (1 Peter 3:15). Paige Lehrmann is the Director of Student Ministries at St. Andrew's Community Church in Oklahoma City and a student at Dallas Theological Seminary. She earned her B.A. in Philosophy and Mathematics from Oklahoma Baptist University, where she completed an interdisciplinary thesis on the Trinity. Paige went on to pursue graduate studies in mathematics at the University of Oklahoma and has taught as an adjunct professor at Mid-America Christian University. She has presented at apologetics conferences on topics such as the Trinity, the divinity of Christ, and theistic arguments from beauty. Through her work, she hopes to help others think deeply about faith, truth, and the beauty of the Gospel.You may contact Paige via email at Paige.lehrmann@gmail.com.

Srinivasa Ramanujan was a mathematical genius who left an indelible mark on the world of mathematics. Born in India in 1887, he had an innate ability for numbers and discovered his own theorems without any formal training. Ramanujan's work, often compared to that of great mathematicians, provided insights into number theory, infinite series, and mathematical analysis. Despite facing initial challenges and skepticism, his brilliance was eventually recognized, leading to collaborations with renowned mathematicians like G.H. Hardy. Ramanujan's legacy lives on, showcasing the extraordinary potential of untapped mathematical talent.

Stephen Wolfram answers questions from his viewers about the history of science and technology as part of an unscripted livestream series, also available on YouTube here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-qa Questions include: Are there languages or logic systems we haven't yet discovered from the past? - Can smart keyboards help with this process of language discovery? - Do you view mathematics as a subset of language, or the other way around? - How did different languages come to develop? Will we slowly move toward a universal language? - "Ona, also known as Selk'nam (Shelknam), is a language spoken by the Selk'nam people in Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego in southernmost South America." Spoken by only one person. - The distinction is the unique role of mathematics expressing and formalizing ideas in ways that transcend linguistic and cultural boundaries. - Language came before humans, e.g. dolphins and whales; we just scaled it up and complexified it. - Was Shakespeare's style unique to him? Would there have been a possibility for people to speak in a more poetic language? - I think language is closer to 1.5–dimensional, considering we have relative pronouns and other constructions that link up with previous statements, such that a 2D diagram of it can be made. - If I want to write a short statement, I prefer English. For a detailed style, I would prefer German... which is usually longer and not as nice to read as short English text. - Bulgarian is pronounced exactly as it is written. One of its quirks. - If LLMs are hallucinating all the time and good ones are just hallucinating correctly/accurately most of the time, does that explain how Ramanujan might have arrived at his formulas without proofs?

Parkinson's Law is the adage that work will expand to fill the time allotted for its completion. - Can you discuss working with many people vs. working as a "hermit"? - Did you get lonely during the NKS days, during other periods of your life, etc.? - I learned recently that Ramanujan in his local town in India was discouraged from going to Cambridge because crossing the ocean was interpreted as leaving one's identity behind. How to manage? - I would love to hear your thoughts on making big changes in your life and how you approach them. Are there techniques that you've come to rely on to guide you in life? - Is there value to stimulating and inspiring people other than oneself, in spite of the delays in your personal research endeavors? - When is 14 coming out? - Any upcoming holiday plans? - How do holidays generally affect work life? - How do you manage working for a global company? - What advice do you have with scheduling around time zones and such? - What would be Stephen's 2023 Year in Review? - Not to forget observer theory!

One of the most fascinating figures in the history of mathematics was Srinivasa Ramanujan, a self-taught Indian genius who formed a remarkable relationship with the Cambridge mathematician GH Hardy. Ramanujan was interested in problems in number theory, which are often easy to state, but incredibly difficult to prove. One amazing thing about Ramanujan's work is that it still finds applications today, in areas you'd never imagine are linked to number theory. An example is the study of black holes, those gravitational monstrosities that lie at the centres of galaxies. We will explore this surprising link in an upcoming episode, but for now we revisit a 2018 interview with mathematician Ken Ono (pictured above), who was an advisor and associate producer on the well-known film about Ramanujan, The man who knew infinity. Talking to Plus Editor Rachel Thomas, Ken explores just what made Ramanujan's work so special and the piece of mathematics that is relevant to black holes. Rachel talked to Ken at the Royal Society's celebration of the centenary of Ramanujan's election as a Fellow of the Royal Society. You can also read an article accompanying this podcast, which looks at the mathematics relevant to black holes. For more about Ramanujan's mathematics, and Ken's research into it, see Ramanujan surprises again.

Learned representations are a central component in modern ML systems, serving a multitude of downstream tasks. When training such representations, it is often the case that computational and statistical constraints for each downstream task are unknown. In this context rigid, fixed capacity representations can be either over or under-accommodating to the task at hand. This leads us to ask: can we design a flexible representation that can adapt to multiple downstream tasks with varying computational resources? Our main contribution is Matryoshka Representation Learning (MRL) which encodes information at different granularities and allows a single embedding to adapt to the computational constraints of downstream tasks. MRL minimally modifies existing representation learning pipelines and imposes no additional cost during inference and deployment. MRL learns coarse-to-fine representations that are at least as accurate and rich as independently trained low-dimensional representations. The flexibility within the learned Matryoshka Representations offer: (a) up to 14x smaller embedding size for ImageNet-1K classification at the same level of accuracy; (b) up to 14x real-world speed-ups for large-scale retrieval on ImageNet-1K and 4K; and (c) up to 2% accuracy improvements for long-tail few-shot classification, all while being as robust as the original representations. Finally, we show that MRL extends seamlessly to web-scale datasets (ImageNet, JFT) across various modalities -- vision (ViT, ResNet), vision + language (ALIGN) and language (BERT).

RAMANUJAN EL TESLA DE LA MATEMATICAS 5x30 En este episodio os hablo de Ramanujan al que no conocía y gracias a Moisés Garrido os traigo esta maravillosa historia.
Episode: 2931 G. H. Hardy, mentor and apologist. Today, a friendship and an apology.
In this episode, we'll explore the poems of A.K. Ramanujan. AKR as he was popularly known was born in 1929 in Mysore. He moved to the us in 1962 and became a very distinguished Professor of linguistics and Dravidian studies at the University of Chicago. He's well known for his poems of love and war, an anthology of classical poems in Tamil translated into the English language. His poems in English are the reflections of an expatriate Indian poet, swinging between his perceptions of the vitality, energy, freedom of the west and his memories of his roots in his classical past in South India. In this episode, we listen to his poem in English, A River - about the Vaigai river in Madurai, which remains dry most of the summer, but always romanticized by Tamil poets. In one of his visits to Madurai, the poet was shocked to see the river in floods, cutting away three village houses, a couple of cows, one pregnant woman, and yet the Tamil poets, unperturbed and indifferent continued to paint a romantic vision of the river. I have also chosen to read a classical Tamil poem by Kaniyan Poongundran, written between 100 BC and 250 AD in Tamil. It's called, Every town a hometown. The Poems: 1. Every town a home town by Kaniyan Poongundran. Translation by A.K. Ramanujan 2. A River by A.K. Ramanujan Music: Lesfm from Pixabay JuliusH from Pixabay NaturesEye from Pixabay Enjoy the poems!

Hay un número con nombre propio que nos fascina desde la antigüedad. Es único e indivisible y, además, infinito. 3… 1… 4… 1… 6… El número PI empieza así hasta alcanzar, por ahora, los 13,3 billones de dígitos. Digo por ahora porque cada año hay matemáticos que logran desvelar nuevos dígitos de esta serie infinita. Desde el célebre Arquímedes que no sabemos si gritaría Eureka! también entonces… hasta nuestro protagonista de hoy: Ramanujan. El genio matemático hindú que, fallecido hace 123 años, logró sus descubrimientos a pesar de no tener estudios universitarios.
When I was in my teens, I remember watching a biopic on famed Indian mathematician from the early 1900s - Ramanujan. He was often saying “There's so much to do yet so little time.” He'd work for 30 hours at a stretch and slept for 20. He discovered nearly 4,000 equations + formulas and died at the prime age of 32. Why do I bring him up? Because he wanted more time to achieve his goals in life which gave him a sense of fulfillment and happiness. As many of us do. But consider this. Why are the happiest people on earth either babies or the elderly enjoying their sunset years? It doesn't have to be that way. And my guest today, Professor Cassie Holmes, Phd is extremely knowledgeable on the subject. She's going to enlighten us about her research backed by case studies and science on how to be truly happy, feel content with the time we have, and will even provide strategies we can apply to lead a purposeful, meaningful life. Cassie Mogilner Holmes is a professor at UCLA's Anderson School of Management. Trained as a social psychologist, she earned her PhD at Stanford's Graduate School of Business and her BA at Columbia. An award-winning teacher and researcher on the role of time in cultivating happiness and satisfaction in life, Holmes's work has been widely published in lead academic journals and featured in outlets such as NPR, the Economist, the Atlantic, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post. Happier Hour is her first book. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband Rob and their children Leo and Lita.

Hoy hablamos sobre lo que hay debajo de la piel de las matemáticas. ¿Son los matemáticos pensadores racionales o son más bien bohemios soñadores? Trataré de convenceros de que las mates se parecen bastante a un arte, y que un corazón de artista viene muy bien para hacer matemáticas. Lo hacemos con la excusa del septuagésimo quinto aniversario del fallecimiento de Godfrey Harold Hardy, un matemático británico poco recordado hoy en día, pero que tuvo el honor de descubrir no sólo verdades matemáticas, sino también a un genio de las matemáticas: Hardy fue el mentor de Srinivasa Ramanujan, uno de los matemáticos más talentosos de la historia. Tenía tanto talento... que necesitaba frenarse para que los demás pudieran entenderle. Os contamos la historia de Hardy y Ramanujan, y recuperamos algunos pasajes de la "Apología de un matemático", el libro que escribió Hardy ya en sus años finales, y en el que reflexiona sobre qué son las matemáticas, qué aportan a la sociedad y por qué hacemos matemáticas. Un clásico que ha envejecido... con dificultad, porque la sociedad que Hardy describe en él quizá no se parece mucho a la nuestra, pero que en cualquier caso sigue valiendo la pena. En este recorrido nos acompaña Santi García Cremades, matemático, divulgador en Onda Cero, en Radio Nacional de España y en La Sexta y profesor en la Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche. Santi es el responsable de los retos matemáticos todos los lunes y jueves en Más de Uno. Este programa se emitió originalmente el 8 de diciembre de 2022.

This series of lectures attempts to critique the more popular and currently accepted accounts of Vachana expression. First of all, Shivaprakash's approach problematizes the relationship between Vachanas and Lingayatism. It also seeks to demonstrate that Bhakti traditions cannot be seen independently of Natha/Siddha traditions. Though Basavanna's role in the formation of Vachana focus cannot be denied, it is in fitness of things, in the light of the range and number of castes actively involved, to see the Vachana efflorescence as a collective expression of all the castes and communities of Karnataka. Whereas the available literature has emphasized the devotional and mystical elements, this approach will emphasize the contribution of Vachana poets from the artisan class who evolved their own spiritual philosophy of Kayakayoga (the Yoga of labour), which is unique in our spiritual traditions. The framework of pan-Indian Bhakti is also interrogated in these lectures. The argument is placed that Bhakti traditions cannot be seen independently of Natha-Siddha and Saman traditions which have different spiritual orientations. Those among Vachana poets whose philosophy and poetry is coeval with Siddha and Nirguna poets from elsewhere in India will be discussed. This episode is the last of series of four lectures that were originally part of a masterclass that took place in the BIC premises in late july and early august titled The Paths of the Hand, Heart and Void by Prof. HS Shivaprakash - poet, playwright and educator.

Vachana expression has till now been identified with a sect of Shaivism called Virashaivism/Lingayatism. Its historical framework is considered to be 12th century, in Kalyana, the imperial capital of the Chalukyas and later, of Kalachuryas. The main progenitor of Lingayatism, say scholars, was Basavanna, Finance Minister of emperor Bijjala. The literature also further assumes that Basavanna set-up in Kalyana Anubhava Mantapa, an assembly of saint-poets. The Vachana poets are supposed to have gathered in this assembly to debate matters spiritual, compose, read, and discuss each others' compositions. The Lingayat literary harvest is said to be contemporaneous with the active period of Basavanna's tenure with the emperor. This brief but intense poetic efflorescence was cut short by political upheavals caused by the violation of traditional caste rules. The questioning of the caste order and gender subjugation irritated the hegemony so much that it led to the unleashing of violence against the followers of the new sect. This episode of BIC talks which outlines the new approach to literary and cultural context of Vachanas was the second of the four part masterclass titled The Paths of the Hand, Heart and Void, by Prof H S Shivaprakash on the Vachana efflorescence of Karnataka examines the neglected contribution and philosophy of artisan Vachana poets, to show that it was an independent soteriological approach different from Bhakti and mysticism.

Bruce Berndt is a Mathematics professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign who spent more than 40 years finding the proofs of Ramanujan's Notebooks. According to Academic Influence, Dr. Bernt is the 5th most influential mathematician. In this conversation, we talk to Dr. Berndt to find out how Ramanujan found him and how Dr. Berndt found Ramanujan. Srinivasa Ramanujan (aka The Man Who Knew Infinity) was the greatest Indian mathematician ever to have lived. His story is a story of obsessively following his curiosity and relentlessly pursuing what he loved. Why did Dr. Berndt spend more than 40 years proving every result of the notebook? Ramanujan didn't write the proofs. He was that great and had an absurd level of mathematical intuition. Ramanujan's story is unique because he had no formal math background and never finished college. He was humbly self-taught. He did not fit in because of his greatness, so the system pushed him out. Fortunately, Ramanujan found Hardy, an English mathematician who believed in him and helped him get out of the "system" to work on his mathematics. What if Hardy never replied? Comparably, this is the story of many other Ramanujan-like people around the world who get pushed to the side because of their inability to fit in the assembly line educational system. Obsession and curiosity over well-roundedness are how geniuses are made. Ramanujan's moving story and astonishing mathematics made Dr. Berndt spend almost fifty years of his life proving every result in Ramanujan's Notebooks. And why one of the best experiences of Dr. Bernt's life was holding Ramanujan's slate, where Ramanujan spent countless hours doing mathematics. Moreover, Dr. Berndt is one of the greatest analytic number theorists, and while he recently retired, he continues to do research, and most of it is, of course, motivated by Ramanujan's work. Needless to say, Dr. Berndt truly encompasses the philosophy of every UIUC Talkshow guest, people who are sane in a way most people are crazy. We hope you can be as inspired by this conversation as we were.

The Penguin Book of Indian Poets, the definitive anthology of Indian poetry in English for the next decade and more edited by Jeet Thayil, returns the forgotten figures of Indian poetry to the centre where they belong. Jeet compiled the work of 94 poets for this anthology, the oldest born in 1924 and the youngest in 2001. With the aim of giving readers a deeper understanding of a vast and fluid poetic tradition, this collection brings together writers from across the world, a wealth of voices that present an expansive, encompassing idea of what makes an ‘Indian' poet. This anthology is the culmination of a project Jeet began twenty years ago with a special supplement for Fulcrum, a poetry annual out of Boston. That was followed by 60 Indian Poets (Penguin India) and The Bloodaxe Book of Contemporary Indian Poets (Bloodaxe UK). This anthology, the final iteration, encompasses 75 years of Indian poetry in English. At 908 pages, it is voluminous and exhaustive, with 94 poets from all over the world. The poets of the Indian canon include Ezekiel, Kolatkar, de Souza, Das, Mehrotra, Ramanujan, Jussawalla, but so are vital newer voices such as Vijay Seshadri, Vahni Capildeo, Bhanu Kapil, Daljit Nagra, Rajiv Mohabir and Raena Shirali, among many others.

Patrick's guest is Professor Ranga Ramanujam from Vanderbilt University Owen Graduate School of Management. Ranga's research, consulting, and teaching focus on organizational errors, reliability, and operational failures. Numerous former students and current colleagues of Ranga's kept telling Patrick to put Ranga on the podcast. As Patrick puts it, "They were 100% right. Ranga is insightful, humble, and engaging!" The discussion follows the lessons Ranga learned as a young 'accidental manager' until his time at Vanderbilt where he teaches MBA students about the importance of leading themselves and others. Ranga's formal education began at Anna University in Chennai, India, and finished with his earning a Ph.D. at Carnegie Mellon University in the United States. That said, listeners will quickly realize that Ranga believes that we never stop learning.
My guest this month is Mr Prakrit, Andrew Ollett, who teaches at the University of Chicago Perhaps his most well-known publication is the book 'Language of the Snakes', which you can download for free here.Among his teachers were Eleanor Dickey, Gary Tubb and Sheldon Pollock (whose book 'The Language of the Gods in the World of Men' Andrew mentions)He talks about his work comparing the language of Theocritus with that of Prakrit poetry, about the work of Mātṛceṭa and Aśvaghoṣa , about the rock inscription of Rudradāman, and the influence that the Sātavāhana courts had on Prakrit. Among the languages and language forms he mentions are Vedic, Pali, Apabhraṃśa, Gāndhārī and Old Gujarati or Rajasthāni . Among the Prakrit texts he talks about are the Gaha Sattasai (and its recent translation by Khoroche and Tieken), the Setubandha, the works of Kundakunda, the Rasikaprakāśana by Vairocana, the Jain niryuktis ascribed to Bhadrabāhu, and the use of Prakrit in Sanskrit plays.You can find out a little more about Madhav Deshpande's book Sanskrit and Prakrit: Sociolinguistic Issues here.For his Sanskrit Studies Podcast Research Grant Project, Andrew will work on Kannada. He recommends A. K. Ramanujan's Speaking of Śiva, the Daśakumāracarita in Isabelle Onians' translation, Tamil Sangam poetry and especially the Kuruntokai, and suggests you go read Bhavabūti's Uttararāmacarita right now.

* Entrada completa del episodio: https://pildorasdelconocimiento.com/podcast/dormir/ * Guión completo del episodio y referencias: https://shorturl.at/flrtD En enero de 1913 el afamado matemático británico Harold Hardy recibió una inusual carta en el correo. Un tal Ramanujan, un novel matemático indio autodidacta y sin apenas formación, le presentó ecuaciones aparentemente escandalosas con un progreso sorprendente en la teoría de series divergentes en matemáticas, y había resuelto un problema bien establecido de la distribución de números primos. Como un matemático prominente no era raro para Hardy recibir cartas de fanáticos y chiflados, quienes hacían ridículas alegaciones y locas afirmaciones. Las ecuaciones de Ramanujan eran increíbles, y a la postre considerado el mejor matemático del s.XX, muy avanzado a su tiempo, y sin necesitar del trabajo de sus colegas de profesión. Muriendo además a la tempranisima edad de 32 años por tuberculosis. Las ecuaciones de Ramanujan brotaban de su propia cabeza con un alto componente de intuición. El creador de la tabla periódica, el químico ruso Dmitri Mendeleev, dijo que se le ocurrió en un sueño, que todos los elementos, incluidos algunos que aún no se habían descubierto, simplemente encajaron ante él. Albert Einstein era famoso por su experimento mental en el que se sentaba en una soledad tranquila e imaginaba los resultados de conceptos teóricos. Fue durante uno de estos experimentos mentales que se le ocurrió la famosa ecuación E=MC^2. Incluso se dijo que el cofundador de Apple, Steve Jobs, recibió la inspiración para el iPhone en un sueño. Hay muchas historias como esta entre los pensadores más legendarios de la humanidad, historias de inspiración aleatoria aparentemente sacadas de la nada. Pero hay una explicación, una que va más allá de la magia o la casualidad que vamos a ver en este episodio.

In this episode, the storyteller, Kathy Shimpock explores the stories that must be told and what happens when we try to forget them. We'll look at three tales from India. Each one addresses stories that are untold, the need to find a willing audience, and the consequence when they are hidden. Finally, we'll discuss how traditional stories from the oral tradition, hold the truth and history that needs to be remembered. As the keepers of stories, we must learn from the tellers of long ago - why these stories were used in the past and how they might be essential to the future.Stories: Folktales from India, A.K.

Today we have Mr. *VIVEK AGARWAL*, who works as CEO of a global analytics & technology center of excellence of a large company. Vivek is passionate about Mathematics, Poetry, Arts, Food & History. He loves teaching, interacting with children. He firmly believes that if India has to become a mathematics superpower again, it has to revive its old mathematical heroes. If children are made aware of the contribution made by their ancestors, it may inspire them to follow in their footsteps. … Let's talk about
6. The Strange Tale of Ramanujan, the Egg This is a story about the things we love, the things we think we love, and egg boxing. You don't know what egg boxing is? Stick around, and you'll never look at eggs the same way again. Welcome to The Storypowers Podcast, the show about the power of stories, the people who tell them and why you should be doing it too. I'm your host Francisco Mahfuz. Normally, this is an interview show, but since this is a podcast about stories I thought it was only right I told a story from time to time. So this is our first story episode, inspired by an interview of Dr. Peter Attia on the Tim Ferriss Show. If you like the show, please leave us a review, share it and SUBSCRIBE! Your support is very much appreciated. And please send me your comments on what you'd like to hear on future episodes. I'm a keynote speaker on storytelling, a public speaking coach and author. You can connect with me on LinkedIn, where I post daily (or as close to that as my children will let me), and on storypowers.com. You can also check out my book "Bare: A Guide to Brutally Honest Public Speaking" on Amazon.

The starting point for this conversation is Karryn's article, which forms the title for this episode, “A Pattern Language for Women in Permaculture.” In this powerful piece Karryn outlines the patterns and provides solutions to create an environment for women's full participation and leadership in the permaculture community, and be recognized as the permaculture superstars they are. The eight patterns, some of which we discuss together, are: Shift our “Mental Models” Understand and Advocate for the “30% Solution” as a Vital Step Toward Parity Value Diversity Intersecting Identities Mentoring is Key to Building Women's Leadership Value Archetypically Feminine Ways of Leading Nurture Women's Leadership Through Women's Gatherings Be an Ally In addition to this pattern language, during her research Karryn found many women struggle to earn a living with their good work. To support these entrepreneurs, she offers three different courses: Pathfinders, Sweet Spots, and Abundance Models to help women design their regenerative right livelihood. Enrollment for the next Pathfinders course starts in late February 2020. If you are interested in this, or any of her other courses, you'll find those hosted within the Regenepreneurs Network, which you can also join as a general member. Learn more at Regenepreneurs.com. You will also find more of Karryn's writing on Medium, where she writes as @Regenepreneurs.
