Often confused with Srinivasa Ramanujan, C.P. Ramanujam was an equally gifted mathematician known for his work on algebraic number theory and geometry.
The Infosys Science Foundation prizes seek to recognise stalwarts of the science and academia community for their contribution to the growth of the IT sector in India.
ED has accused Amtek promoter Arvind Dham of controlling web of nearly 500 shell companies operating as a layered structure, with up to 15 levels of indirect ownership, to divert funds.
Bengaluru-based CeNS designs accurate, portable, and cheap sensor using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. It could significantly reduce risks at vulnerable choke points.
From Munir’s point of view, a few bumps here and there is par for the course. He isn’t going to drive his dumper truck to its doom. He wants to use it as a weapon.
For God’s sake, you’re not arguing that math is racist. You’re arguing that math pedagogy and application are racist. Phrasing it as the first could be misinterpreted and dismantle STEM in the university, the other fits within the equity ideas that have already devalued the humanities. I have a feeling you’re hoping people can’t draw the distinction.
lol no…the best of math originate in india, get worldwide recognition from arabia and greece and the credits are taken by europe…africa isn’t in this equation
It is really courageous with the kind of garbage you post (like this) and ask for donations to support your “journalism”.
Amazing!!
A while back when I first heard the statement “Math is Racist” I was certain someone was being very, very sarcastic. After reading this article attempting to show how math IS actually racist I know better. Not sarcastic, merely mentally disturbed. This is such garbage. How anyone can actually believe what is presented here concerns me. I do though see why todays graduates are so twisted in their thinking. Applying prejudice to everything & believing White Privilege exists in something as untouchable as mathematics is absurd. Go peddle your idiotic theories elswhere. Stop brainwashing young minds.
So, language is important because using it precisely gets people to a common understanding of the issues involved. If I say, “Math is racist” I am saying that mathematical principles operate differently depending on the race of the user, which is a patently absurd thing to say. If I say, “the story about how Math principles were discovered is racist” I am saying that the math storytellers are telling an inaccurate story that denies the contributions of people of color. This could very well be true, a racism of ommission, if you will. If I say, “students of color cannot learn math as well as white students” then I may be making a racist statement if my intent is to say that because of race students of color cannot learn math as well as white students. If my intent is to say that the students of color in my class do not perform as well as white students I may be pointing to a few things, one, inequities emerging from the racial communities I teach or, two, that I am a racist teacher and I cannot teach children of color as well as I can teach white students.
When I was in high school I had a teacher that said, “some of you will fail, and then become teachers.” Then, came the old saw, “some of you will be bigger failures and you will teach teachers how to teach.” It was a dark and unfair thing to say but the current flow from white professors in the schools of education is not helping their case. May I suggest, speak plainly about fairness to help others.
When the Nazis came to power in Germany and Austria, they “cleaned” the so called “Jewish Mathematics” from universities. The German academic math never really discovered.
Now there are people calling mathematics racist and “whiteness” thinking being modern and liberal…..
To the doubters: Anti-racist mathematics is where students have to show their working out. Racist mathematics, on the other hand, is more concerned with the final solution.
So the ratio of a circle to it’s circumference is racist? I think we need to work more on our mental health system…
Though a relief reading something apart from political justification but disgust to frame ‘queen of science’ in a bias.
Mathematics is a language of science – only a mathematical equation describes instance in Nature. Imagine any stream of science strictly or only using respective elements?
Though India has a legacy being ancestor of mathematics and thought – fell short of publicity and globally marketing. With Data science now proves application of thought to reality.
How about you use that “feminist”, “anti-racist” and “non-white” math and built a machine based on its premise. In case it works, we’ll see how we proceed.
I am operating under the assumption that this entire article is just political Satire, and if it’s not… I’m going to jump off a fkn bridge I swear.
Really? This is printable material? What a load of c**p

Mathematics was plagiarised from Africa. Much like most modern developments and scientific breakthroughs over the centuries.

Is this satire? I really can’t tell.
Left-liberalism destroys everything it touches, including something as pure as Mathematics.
Such Rubbish! This is the social justice nonsense gone mad. Please don’t contract this disease from the West!
