Namaskarams  to my former teachers

P.R.Ramachander

 

I joined  Annamalai university, mathematics department  for studying  B.Sc(Hons) in  1957

 

Our Professor was the renowned  Dr.V.Ganapathi  iyer (who was president  of Indian Society of Mathematics for  several years).He was  a specialist  in Mathematical, Analysis

 

The next  important  senior reader was Dr.G.Sankara  narayanan  who used  to teah usMathematical statistics.I happened to  visit him  in Chidambaran after more than 30 years,The simple great scholar of Statistics  invited me and family  to his house and gave us a fantastic lunch

 

Dr,V,Ganesan  was our  lecturer   of  modern algebra, which subject was  very new to him and to us.The   subject was  tough  and abstract.He taught  us so well  that  I scored 100% in that subject  in my final exams

 

Dr.(Miss) N.Radha  was  another  Reader  of our University who taught us  Geometry

 

DR.Padmanabhan taught  us  the tough subject of Mechanics .It was more tough to me because I had not studied  Physics in intermediate. Students used to say   that  he was extremely orthodox ,

 

Dr.R.Unni  used to teach  us calculus, which is relatively easy subject

 

DrKannappan used  to teach  us  Trignometry

 

I located the farewell  group photo with my teachers,It was taken in year 1960

 

I owe what  I am to these  stalwart teachers  who ladi the firm foundation in each subject

 

My humble namaskarams to each of those
