Math Genius

Ted Kaczynski, former math professor and "twisted genius" who came to be known as the Unabomber when he carried out a 17-year spree of mysterious bombings that killed 3 people and baffled the FBI, died on Saturday at the age of 81, ABC News reported.

Eminent Indian-American mathematician Nikhil Srivastava, who teaches at the University of California, Berkeley, has been jointly selected for the inaugural Ciprian Foias Prize in Operator Theory by American Mathematical Society (AMS).

Neelakantha Bhanu Prakash, a 20-year-old from Hyderabad, who is studying Mathematics at Delhi's St Stephen's College, and holds four world records (and 50 Limca records) has been hailed as the world's fastest human calculator

Vidya scored 126 marks in Maths out of 150 in her board exams in 1994

Guinness World Records on Thursday honoured Indian math genius Shakuntala Devi with the long overdue record title for ''fastest human computation'', four decades after she achieved the feat.

Vidya Balan portrays Shakuntala Devi brilliantly with a smile on her face and witticism in her dialogues.

Vidya Balan asked her fans a couple of maths questions before revealing the release date

Vidya Balan: "How incredible that 'The Math Genius', 'The Human Computer', was a small-town Indian girl, who took the world by storm"

Shakuntala Devi was known for her ability to make complex mental calculations.

As actor portrays math wizard, Anand Kumar says he'll oversee scripting of biopic

Maryam Mirzakhani, an Iranian-born mathematician who was the first woman to win the coveted Fields Medal, has died in a US hospital after a battle with cancer. She was 40.

Complex calculations are a source of nightmares for most, but for 13-year-old Aditi Sharma who can perform mathematical problems in a matter of seconds, it is, quite literally, child's play.

Gravitational waves detection again underscores the prodigious genius of Einstein, whose work fundamentally changed the way humans view and understand their world.

A 10-year-old home-schooled girl, who is a maths genius, has become one of the youngest students in the UK to enroll in a university.

India's Math Genius Manjul Bhargava talks to NDTV about his love for mathematics, and suggests that the teaching of math in India can be made fun and 'less robotic', using even magic tricks as teaching aids. He also touches on the mathematical nature of the tabla and other forms of music.
