Description:
(Indian American Mathematician and Statistician) Raj Chandra Bose was an Indian American mathematician and statistician renowned for his significant contributions to design theory, finite geometry, and error-correcting codes. He made groundbreaking discoveries in partial geometry, association scheme, and strongly regular graph fields. Bose, together with colleagues, notably refuted a conjecture by Leonhard Euler on Latin squares. His collaboration with S. S. Shrikhande and E. T. Parker in this area was highly influential. Bose's systematic exploration of difference sets and symmetric block designs further consolidated his status as a pioneering figure in mathematics and statistics.
