T. N. Venkataramana is remembered in mathematics for work the next generation could build on.
The record lists T. N. Venkataramana as Indian mathematician.
T. N. Venkataramana was born at Bengaluru in 1958. His recorded nationality is India. He studied at University of Mumbai and Tata Institute of Fundamental Research.
Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.
Mathematics accumulates without discarding: a proof from two thousand years ago is still a proof.
The honours record reads: Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology (2001).
That the work was done from India matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
T. N. Venkataramana is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
