It is remarkable to think that some of the greatest mathematicians likes of Paul Joseph Cohen, Erik Ivar Fredholm and Leonhard Euler were all born in April and have ever lived. Paul Joseph Cohen was an American mathematician, best known for his proofs that, continuum hypothesis, for which he was awarded a “Fields Medal”. Erik Ivar Fredholm was a Swedish mathematician whose work on integral equations and operator theory foreshadowed the theory of Hilbert spaces. Leonhard Euler was a Swish polymath credited for popularizing the “pi”, Greek letter to denote the ratio of circle’s circumference to its diameter. It is essential to popularize the science, mathematics and statistics through the biographies in classical (Abhijat) languages like Marathi.
