Congratulations to George, who was recently in the news for some remarkable findings regarding the infinite series in calculus. Essentially, George and his team of researchers found evidence that discoveries attributed to Sir Isaac Newton should correctly belong to Kerala mathematicians.

These findings received world-wide publicity.

An excerpt from the Science Daily in an article on George's findings stated:

"Dr George Gheverghese Joseph from The University of Manchester says the 'Kerala School' identified the 'infinite series '- one of the basic components of calculus - in about 1350.

The discovery is currently - and wrongly - attributed in books to Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibnitz at the end of the seventeenth centuries.

The team from the Universities of Manchester and Exeter reveal the Kerala School also discovered what amounted to the Pi series and used it to calculate Pi correct to 9, 10 and later 17 decimal places.

And there is strong circumstantial evidence that the Indians passed on their discoveries to mathematically knowledgeable Jesuit missionaries who visited India during the fifteenth century.That knowledge, they argue, may have eventually been passed on to Newton himself."

George has previously received recognition for his scholarly work in the book he authored - "The Crest of the Peacock" - which explores the multi-cultural aspects of mathematics
