New Delhi, July 18

Vice-President M Venkaiah Naidu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday condoled the death of eminent mathematician CS Seshadri, saying his work in algebraic geometry will be remembered for generations. Seshadri died in Chennai on Friday.

He was 88. “In the passing away of Prof CS Seshadri, we have lost an intellectual stalwart who did outstanding work in mathematics. His efforts, especially in algebraic geometry, will be remembered for generations,” the PM tweeted. Seshadri began his career at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research as one of the first batch of graduate students.

He moved to Chennai in 1985 to the Institute of Mathematical Sciences. In 1989, he got an opportunity to start the School of Mathematics as part of the SPIC Science Foundation, which has evolved into the Chennai Mathematical Institute. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
