Many of his solutions in the field of equations and identities have led to opening up of new areas of research. Srinivasa Ramanujam, The Great Mathematician !! ‘The Boy Who Dreamed of Infinity’

The above is only a partial list of the Top 10 Scientists of India, for there are several other scientists with immense contributions in different fields of science, whom we will be covering in our later blogs.

At the school, our teachers adopt a variety of methods including classroom sessions, essay writing competitions, skits, plays, etc to teach our students about famous scientists from across the world. This kind of holistic education is what makes us a top CBSE school in Coimbatore.
