Biography

Chandrasekharan was born on 21 November 1920 in Machilipatnam, Andhra Pradesh. Chandrasekharan completed his high school from Bapatla village in Guntur from Andhra Pradesh. He completed M.A. in mathematics from the Presidency College, Chennai and a PhD from the Department of Mathematics, University of Madras in 1942, under the supervision of K. Ananda Rau.[1]

When Chandrasekharan was with the

C. L. Siegel and others from all over the world to visit TIFR and deliver lectures. In 1965, Chandrasekharan left the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research to join the ETH Zurich,[1] where he retired in 1988.[3][4]

He was a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[5]
