Dennis P. Sullivan, a professor of mathematics at Stony Brook University and the City University of New York Graduate Center, is the winner of this year’s Abel Prize — the equivalent of a Nobel in mathematics. The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, the organization that administers the Abel, said Dr. Sullivan was honored “for his groundbreaking contributions to topology in its broadest sense, and in particular its algebraic, geometric and dynamical aspects.” Topology is the study of space and shapes, and most of Dr. Sullivan’s work involves what mathematicians call manifolds — the high ..read more

Self-taught and self-reliable Ramanujan, born in 1887 at Erode, was always ahead of the formal education that was taught during his time. His passion for numbers took him far ahead and at a higher level. His mastery of mathematical applications was completely independent of existing models. Every one should be self-motivated to learn and acquire expertise in their field. Even after dropped out from college, Ramanujan was continuing his ‘explorations’ and innovations. Surpassing rejections Ramanujan wrote several letters to many mathematicians. But they all discarded the notes from Ramanujan ..read more
