This book was released on 2022-01-27 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prof. G. Ramachandran (1936-2020) taught physics to the students pursuing M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees at the Department of Studies in Physics, Manasagangotri, University of Mysore, as a Professor from 1973 till 1996, when he formally retired. Later, he continued working in the department till 2001 as a CSIR Emeritus Scientist. During this period, more than 20 batches of post graduate students learnt the beauty of theoretical physics listening to his course of lectures. Under his supervision more than a dozen students earned the PhD degree, drawing great appreciation from the thesis examiners. He moved to Bengaluru in 2001 and worked as a Visiting Professor at Indian Institute of Astrophysics till 2007. Thereafter, he continued to mentor several students in their research work. Prof. Ramachandran – GR to all his students- passed away on April 9, 2020. This book is a tribute to GR by his students, colleagues and admirers who were inspired by his lectures, research work, devotion to physics and, above all, his simple lifestyle. The book is a collection of articles which give us a glimpse of GR’s academics at IMSc (Chennai), ISI (Kolkata), IISc (Bengaluru), University of Mysore and IIA (Bengaluru).

Book excerpt: This book is a collection of articles, all by the author, on the Indian mathematical genius Srinivasa Ramanujan as well as on some of the greatest mathematicians throughout the history whose life and works have things in common with Ramanujan. It presents a unique comparative study of Ramanujan’s spectacular discoveries and remarkable life and of the monumental contributions of various mathematical luminaries, some of whom, like Ramanujan, overcame great difficulties in life. In the book, some aspects of Ramanujan’s contributions, such as his remarkable formulae for the number pi, his pathbreaking work in the theory of partitions, and his fundamental observations on quadratic forms, are discussed. Finally, the book describes various current efforts to ensure that the legacy of Ramanujan will be preserved and continue to thrive in the future. Thus the book is an enlightening study of Ramanujan as a mathematician and a human being.

Book Synopsis Revolutionary Desires by : Ania Loomba
Download or read book Revolutionary Desires written by Ania Loomba and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-24 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revolutionary Desires examines the lives and subjectivities of militant-nationalist and communist women in India from the late 1920s, shortly after the communist movement took root, to the 1960s, when it fractured. This close study demonstrates how India's revolutionary women shaped a new female – and in some cases feminist – political subject in the twentieth century, in collaboration and contestation with Indian nationalist, liberal-feminist, and European left-wing models of womenhood. Through a wide range of writings by, and about, revolutionary and communist women, including memoirs, autobiographies, novels, party documents, and interviews, Ania Loomba traces the experiences of these women, showing how they were constrained by, but also how they questioned, the gendered norms of Indian political culture. A collection of carefully restored photographs is dispersed throughout the book, helping to evoke the texture of these women’s political experiences, both public and private. Revolutionary Desires is an original and important intervention into a neglected area of leftist and feminist politics in India by a major voice in feminist studies.

Book Synopsis The Emergence of Astrophysics in Asia by : Tsuko Nakamura
Download or read book The Emergence of Astrophysics in Asia written by Tsuko Nakamura and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the ways in which attitudes toward astronomy in Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Taiwan, Thailand and Uzbekistan have changed with the times. The emergence of astrophysics was a worldwide phenomenon during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and it gradually replaced the older-style positional astronomy, which focused on locating and measuring the movements of the planets, stars, etc.. Here you will find national overviews that are at times followed by case studies of individual notable achievements. Although the emphasis is on the developments that occurred around 1900, later pioneering efforts in Australian, Chinese, Indian and Japanese radio astronomy are also included. As the first book ever published on the early development of astrophysics in Asia, the authors fill a chronological and technological void. Though others have already written about earlier astronomical developments in Asia, and about the recent history of astronomy in various Asian nations, no one has examined the emergence of astrophysics, the so-called ‘new astronomy’ in Asia during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
