Satyendra Nath Bose was an Indian theoretical physicist and mathematician, born in Calcutta in 1894, best known for his work on quantum mechanics in the early 1920s, in developing the foundation for Bose-Einstein statistics and the theory of the Bose-Einstein condensate. The class of particles described by his statistics, bosons, was named by Paul Dirac. He received a Bachelor of Science in mixed mathematics from Presidency College, Calcutta, standing first in 1913, and again stood first in the Master of Science examination in 1915 at the Science College, with marks that set a record at the University of Calcutta. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society, received India's Padma Vibhushan in 1954 and was a polymath whose interests ranged from mineralogy to music.
