Just realized, Nicușor Daniel Dan , Romania's new president won IMO gold medals in two years and perfect scores. Probably a first.
Sharing:
Nicuşor Dan, Romania’s president and a two-time International Mathematics Olympiad gold medallist.
Nicușor Dan, is a fascinating figure — a former math prodigy who scored perfect marks twice at the International Math Olympiad. He’s known not just for his sharp analytical mind, but also for being down-to-earth and thoughtful. (Heard him a few years ago - and liked it - seems to combine deep mathematical thinking with a practical sense of human nature, which is rare)
His election reminds me of another leader (only I can recall) with a strong math background — Lee Hsien Loong of Singapore, who was Senior Wrangler at Cambridge.
Came across the above interesting website founded by Gaurav Bhatnagar
First Lecture
Abstract
We begin our study of Ramanujan’s identities. The Rogers-Ramanujan identities appear Chapter 16 of Volume 3 of Berndt’s Ramanujan’s notebooks. One of the key results is the q-binomial theorem. We will begin with a discovery approach to the binomial theorem and then give Ramanujan’s own proof of the q-binomial theorem. Ramanujan developed hypergeometric series in an earlier chapter, so chances are that he was motivated to find a more general series with an additional parameter.
Big congrats to Eshan Chattopadhyay and David Zuckerman for winning the 2025 Gödel Prize! Their groundbreaking research on explicit two-source extractors is a game-changer in theoretical computer science. Eshan, an Indian-origin professor at Cornell University, and David, a professor at UT Austin, have made significant contributions to pseudorandomness and computational complexity. Their work has opened up new avenues in randomness extraction and Ramsey graphs. Cheers to their achievement! #GodelPrize #ComputerScience #Mathematics
