Nayandeep Deka Baruah (born 1972) is an Indian mathematician and at present professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Tezpur University, India.[1] He is known for his work related to the mathematics of Ramanujan, in particular he and his collaborators have found several Ramanujan type congruences using different methods.
Biography
[edit]Baruah started his school education in Sibsagar district of Assam, and then went to Cotton College, Guwahati, to do his bachelor's degree in mathematics in 1992. He graduated with a masters in mathematics from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IITK), India in 1995 and a Ph.D. in mathematics from Tezpur University, India in 2001.[2] The title of his Ph.D. thesis was Contributions to Ramanujan's Schlafli-type Modular Equations, Class Invariants, Theta-functions, and Continued Fractions.[3] Following a short stint at Assam University, Silchar, Baruah has been a member of the faculty at Tezpur since 1997,[4] becoming full professor in 2009. For a period of one year in 2006–07, he was a visitor at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign working with Bruce C. Berndt.[5]
