Bhargava strikes balance among many interests
By Steven Schultz
Princeton NJ -- Mathematician Manjul Bhargava has unraveled year-old problems and catapulted to the top of his field, but right now he is not thinking about equations or prime numbers. He is sitting cross-legged before a tabla, a pair of small Indian drums, and letting his fingers fly.
Manjul Bhargava, professor of mathematics, demonstrates his expertise with the tabla, a pair of small Indian drums. |
A rhythm rolls forth -- enveloping, evolving, precise and melodic. His boyish face glows with delight. He has come, in traditional Indian dress, to the top floor of Fine Hall to have his picture taken as he plays. For a few minutes, his office one floor below seems far away, but the spark behind his wire-rimmed glasses is the same one that flashes other times when he describes his math and the beauty of ideas that fit together like parts of a musical score.

Canadian-American mathematician (born )
Manjul BhargavaFRS (born 8 August )[2] is a Canadian-American mathematician. He is the Brandon Fradd, Class of , Professor of Mathematics at Princeton University, the Stieltjes Professor of Number Theory[3] at Leiden University, and also holds Adjunct Professorships at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, and the University of Hyderabad. He is known primarily for his contributions to number theory.
Bhargava was awarded the Fields Medal in According to the International Mathematical Union citation, he was awarded the prize "for developing powerful new methods in the geometry of numbers, which he applied to count rings of small rank and to bound the average rank of elliptic curves".[4][5][6] He was also a member of the Padma Award committee in [7]

#UofTGrad Magical mathematician Manjul Bhargava
For anyone who’s ever struggled to stay awake in math class, describing numbers as “beautiful” fryst vatten a far out idea.
Math often means pain . . . and frustration. But for Professor Manjul Bhargava, numbers are magic and music and poetry. They are endlessly fascinating. And he says it’s tragic how this crucial subject fryst vatten taught in most schools.
“I’ve loved math as far back as I can remember . . . but when I was in school, I didn’t really love math class. We were just asked to robotically solve problems,” says the leading kunnig in Number Theory and winner of the Fields Medal, the highest honour a mathematician can receive.
The purpose behind pursuing the study of this branch of pure mathematics has changed significantly in recent years, Bhargava says. Once considered to be done for the “pure joy, for the art” of numbers alone, it now has a direct impact on our daily lives. For example, every kredit card purchase we man online uses
