This book highlights the role of Sir Asutosh Mookerjee, founder of the Calcutta school of physics and the Calcutta Mathematical Society, and his talented scholars – Sir C.V. Raman, D.M. Bose, S.N. Bose, M.N. Saha, Sir K.S. Krishnan and S.K. Mitra – all of whom played a significant role in fulfilling their goal of creating an outstanding school of physical sciences in the city of Calcutta. The main objective of the book is to bring to the fore the combined contributions of the greatest physicists of India, who in the colonial period worked with practically no modern amenities and limited financial resources, but nonetheless with total dedication and self-confidence, which is unmatched in today’s world. The book presents the golden age of the physical sciences in India in compact form; in addition, small anecdotes, mostly unknown to many, have been brought the forefront. The book consists of 10 chapters, which include papers by these distinguished scientists along with detailed accounts of their academic lives and main research contributions, particularly during their time in Calcutta. A synopsis of the contents is provided in the introductory chapter. In the following chapters, detailed discussions are presented in straightforward language. The complete bibliographies of the great scientists have been added at the end. This book will be of interest to historians, philosophers of science, linguists, anthropologists, students, research scholars and general readers with a love for the history of science.

This book provides a comprehensive portrayal of the history of Indian mathematicians and statisticians and uncovers many missing parts of the scientific representation of mathematical and statistical research during the 19th and 20th centuries of Bengal (now West Bengal), India. This book gives a brief historical account about the establishment of the first-two departments in an Indian university, where graduate teaching and research were initiated. This was a unique distinction for the University of Calcutta which was established in 1857. The creation of the world famous Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) in Calcutta (now Kolkata) is also briefly described. The lives and works of the 16 pioneer mathematical scientists who adorned the above mentioned institutions and the first Indian Institute Technology (IIT) of India have been elaborated in lucid language. Some outstanding scholars who were trained at the ISI but left India permanently have also been discussed briefly in a separate chapter. This book fulfils a long-standing gap in the history of modern Indian mathematics, which will make the book very useful to researchers in the history of science and mathematics. Written in very lucid English with little mathematical or statistical jargon makes the book immensely readable even to general readers with interest in scientific history even from non-mathematical, non-statistical background. This book is a clear portrayal of the struggle and success of researchers in mathematical sciences in Bengal (an important part of the colonial India), unveils before the international community of mathematical scientists. The real connoisseurs will appreciate the value of the book, as it will clear up many prevailing misconceptions.

This book is an attempt to describe the gradual development of the major schools of research on number theory in South India, Punjab, Mumbai, Bengal, and Bihar—including the establishment of Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, a landmark event in the history of research of number theory in India. Research on number theory in India during modern times started with the advent of the iconic genius Srinivasa Ramanujan, inspiring mathematicians around the world. This book discusses the national and international impact of the research made by Indian number theorists. It also includes a carefully compiled, comprehensive bibliography of major 20th century Indian number theorists making this book important from the standpoint of historic documentation and a valuable resource for researchers of the field for their literature survey. This book also briefly discusses the importance of number theory in the modern world of mathematics, including applications of the results developed by indigenous number theorists in practical fields. Since the book is written from the viewpoint of the history of science, technical jargon and mathematical expressions have been avoided as much as possible.

"The Great Mathematicians of Bharat" emerges as a seminal work, aligning perfectly with the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasizes the integration and appreciation of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) in contemporary education. This book meticulously documents the rich legacy of India's mathematical geniuses, serving as a crucial resource in rekindling interest and respect for Bharat's profound mathematical traditions. It underscores the symbiotic relationship between cultural ethos and scientific inquiry, highlighting how Indian mathematicians not only contributed to the field of mathematics but also how their work was deeply interwoven with Hindu spiritual and cultural practices. By chronicling the journey from ancient sages to modern masters, the book provides a comprehensive view of the evolution of mathematical thought in Bharat, thus fulfilling NEP 2020's objective of integrating indigenous knowledge with modern academic frameworks. In doing so, it not only educates but also inspires, setting a precedent for future academic endeavours to explore and celebrate India's rich intellectual heritage.

前所未見、具高度爆發性的科學史 本書遠遠偏離了我們多數人被教導的西方經典情節， 但卻真正拓展了我們就過往與現今的全球科學眼界。 波斯克特巧妙地將默默無聞人士的成就融入更廣泛的科學史……篇幅內容論述明晰。」 ──《金融時報》（Financial Times） 當我們說到現代科學的起源時，習慣從歐洲開始，我們記得哥白尼、牛頓、達爾文和愛因斯坦這些思想巨擘。然而科學的歷史並不是、也從來不是歐洲特有的努力歷程。哥白尼仰賴根源自阿拉伯和波斯文本的數學技術；牛頓的運動定律用上了亞洲和非洲進行的天文學觀測成果；當達爾文撰著《物種起源》之時，他參考了一本十六世紀的中國百科全書；還有當愛因斯坦研究量子力學時，他受到了來自孟加拉物理學家薩特延德拉．玻色的啟發。 《被蒙蔽的視野》是前所未見的科學史，講述了科學發展中的無名英雄，披露最重要的科學突破是來自全世界不同文化之間的思想交流。在這部雄心勃勃，啟迪思維的歷史當中，詹姆士．波斯克特重塑了科學史，揭示了非洲、美洲、亞洲和太平洋上科學家對這段全球故事做出的重要貢獻。 本書將科學史安置於世界史的核心地位，也為現代世界的形成提供了一個嶄新視角，不再聚焦於某些菁英，也不再只看著歐洲，撥開被刻意蒙蔽的視野。要更深刻認識現代史，我們就必須關注全球科學史。 【專家推薦】（按姓氏筆畫排序） 林俊良｜中興大學副校長、電機系講座教授 林敏聰｜國家科學及技術委員會副主任委員、臺大物理系特聘教授 孫維新｜臺灣大學物理系及天文所教授 張國暉｜臺灣大學國家發展研究所副教授 曾耀寰｜中研院天文所研究副技師 黃貞祥｜清華大學生命科學系助理教授 劉怡維｜清華大學物理系教授
