Lucknow — The second and final day of the prestigious 71st Annual Conference of Bharata Ganita Parisad (BGP) concluded in grand style at the Department of Mathematics and Astronomy, University of Lucknow, Lucknow, leaving attendees inspired and energized. The theme ‘Recent Advances in Mathematics and Applications – An International Meet’ brought together eminent scholars, fostering a dynamic exchange of groundbreaking ideas that will resonate far beyond the conference walls.
*A Morning Brimming with Intellectual Energy*
The day began with high anticipation as young researchers competed for the coveted Young Scientist Award. Guided by chairpersons Prof. Peeyush Chandra and Prof. Amin Sofi, the session showcased innovative perspectives from the next generation of mathematicians. As one of the young presenters passionately noted, “Mathematics is not just about solving equations; it’s about understanding the language of the universe.” One of the presenter presented his paper related to the development of a technique so that knee replacement quipment becomes softer but still has the strength to hold the weight of the body
*Profound Insights from the Symposium on Analysis and Algebra*
One of the most anticipated segments was the symposium on Recent Advances in Analysis and Algebra, where Prof. Riddhi Shah of JNU, New Delhi captivated the audience with her deep dive into “The Dynamics of Distal Maps.” She highlighted, “In understanding these maps, we unlock patterns that go beyond mere numbers, touching on the fundamental principles that govern both natural and abstract systems.”
Prof. P. Mohanty’s lecture on “Calderón-Zygmund Singular Integrals” was equally enthralling as he remarked, “Mathematics is a bridge between pure theory and real-world applications. What began as abstract concepts are now solving real-life problems we never imagined.” This sentiment echoed throughout the conference, inspiring participants to explore the potential of their own research.
*Exploring New Mathematical Frontiers*
Dr. Amit Kumar Verma’s exploration of “Integral Transforms: From Fourier to Wavelets” sparked thought-provoking discussions. He emphasized, “As mathematics evolves, we must constantly seek new transformations, both in our equations and in our thinking.”
Prof. M. A. Sofi from Kashmir University in his concluding talk on “The Metric Structure of Banach Spaces” left attendees reflecting on the interconnectedness of mathematical concepts. He concluded, “Understanding the metric structure of the various mathematical spaces with certain defined operations isn’t just a mathematical endeavor; it’s a journey to map the infinite possibilities within the finite constraints of our knowledge.”
*Post-Lunch Highlights: Advancing Mathematical Applications*
The conference maintained its momentum with lectures that showcased the far-reaching applications of mathematics. Prof. U. C. De of Calcutta University, Kolkata in his lecture on “Generalized Quasi-Einstein Manifolds with applications to relativity” demonstrated how abstract mathematical concepts can have profound implications for the field of relativity. Prof De is among the world’s 2% top scientist list displayed by Stanford University. He noted, “Einstein’s equations are not the end, but the beginning of our exploration into the geometry of the universe.”
Prof. Deep Singh of IISER Mohali Punjab presented his talk on “Digital Data Security: A Cryptographic Approach” was especially timely. He pointed out, “In a world driven by data, mathematics remains our strongest shield against the ever-evolving threats to digital privacy.” His insights struck a chord, especially in light of the increasing focus on cybersecurity in today’s digital landscape.
Mukesh Kumar Awasthi in his talk on Theory of instability on two-phase flow suggested a technique to study the stability of the flow of two types of fluids at the boundry.
*Valedictory Function and Celebration of Young Talent*
The conference concluded with an inspiring valedictory function, celebrating not only established scholars but also the emerging voices in mathematics. The prestigious *Young Scientist Award* was presented to Waseem Lone from IIT Patna for their pioneering work, lauded as a significant contribution to the field.
In his closing remarks, Prof. Pankaj Mathur, Secretary of BGP, captured the spirit of the event: “As if infinity is removed from infinity, infinity is left, this conference has shown us that while mathematics is timeless, our approach to it must always be forward-thinking. Collaboration and innovation are the keys to unlocking the challenges of tomorrow.”
*A Call for Future Collaborations*
As attendees departed, they carried with them a renewed sense of purpose. The thought-provoking lectures, rich discussions, and spirit of collaboration set a powerful tone for future research endeavors.
The conference concluded on a high note, leaving participants inspired to push the boundaries of mathematical research. As one attendee aptly summarized, “Conferences like these remind us that in mathematics, every question we answer opens the door to a hundred more. The journey is infinite.”
