When it comes to talented Tamils, there is no shortage. Looking back through history, we see that some Tamils were highly successful and have achieved highly in their respective fields. Todays youth, are these future sucess stories. Over the next few days, we will be looking at some examples of successful Tamils. Stay tuned!

Chakravarthi Padmanabhan Ramanujam (Tamil: சக்கிரவர்த்தி பத்மநாபன் ராமானுஜம், January 9, 1938 – October 27, 1974) was an Indian mathematician who worked in the fields of number theory and algebraic geometry. He got elected Fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences in 1973.  Ramanujam set out for Mumbai at the age of eighteen to pursue his interest in mathematics. He and his friend and schoolmate Raghavan Narasimhan, and S. Ramanan joined TIFR together in 1957. At the Tata Institute there was a stream of first rate visiting mathematicians from all over the world. It was a tradition for some graduate student to write up the notes of each course of lectures. Accordingly, Ramanujam wrote up in his first year, the notes of Max Deuring’s lectures on Alge

Chakravarthi Padmanabhan Ramanujam was an Indian mathematician born in 1938 who worked in number theory and algebraic geometry. He received his doctorate from the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research and was elected Fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences. Unfortunately, Ramanujam developed schizophrenia in 1964 which interrupted his promising career, though he continued mathematical work when possible. He passed away in 1974 at the young age of 36.

C. P. Ramanujam

Indian mathematician (1938–1974)

Not to be confused with Srinivasa Ramanujan.

Chakravarthi Padmanabhan Ramanujam (9 January 1938 – 27 October 1974) was an Indian mathematician who worked in the fields of number theory and algebraic geometry. He was elected a fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences in 1973.

Like his namesake Srinivasa Ramanujan, Ramanujam also had a very short life.[1]

As David Mumford put it, Ramanujam felt that the spirit of mathematics demanded of him not merely routine developments but the right theorem on any given topic. "He wanted mathematics to be beautiful and to be clear and simple. He was sometimes tormented by the difficulty of these high standards, but in retrospect, it is clear to us how often he succeeded in adding to our knowledge, results both new, beautiful and with a genuinely original stamp".[2]

Early life and education

Ramanujam was born to a Tamil family on 9 January 1938 in Madras (now Chennai), India, as the eldest of seven, to Chakravarthi Srinivasa Padmanabhan. He finished his schoo
