Ramanujan
On or about the 31st of January 1913, mathematician G.H. Hardy (1877-1947) of Trinity College at Cambridge University received a parcel of papers from Madras, India which included a cover letter from an aspiring young Indian mathematician by the name of Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887–1920).

In this article we introduce the reproducing kernel Hilbert space.
Group Theory
Conservation laws form the basis of theoretical physics. In 1915, Emmy Noether found their origin in the symmetries of the universe.
Pi
We interact with the number π (‘pi’) everyday. Due to its fundamental involvement with circles, π has found applications in virtually every industry, ranging from sports to designing power lines and everything in between. It would, then, seem absurd that a number that is seemingly so specific and universal can
