Book Description

December 27, 2001 0195655281 978-0195655285 2
This work is a biographical sketch of the lives of two celebrated Indian scientists, J.C. Bose, the plant physiologist, and Srinivasa Ramanujan, one of the greatest untrained mathematical geniuses the world has ever known. Nandy discusses the extent to which the colonial context within which these two men worked impinged on the calibre and nature of their research.

Editorial Reviews

Review


"Each section is well written and fairly informative. Therefore we find that the book is something more than a book on the cultural psychology of scientific creativity."--xxxx
