Prayag is the ancient Sanskrit name of Allahabad - a city in North
India, situated on the confluence of three rivers: the Ganges,
Yamuna and Saraswati - the Goddess of Learning. Sant Tulsidas
describes this Prayag as Tirthraj ("King of all Tirthas") in his
classical epic Ram Charit Manas. When the sun crosses the line of
Capricorn all the Tirthas, saints and other Rishis visit the
Tirthraj Prayag. The University there can be regarded as the second
oldest University in the entire Indian sub-continent. The first
three Universities (of Calcutta, Bombay and Madras) were
established at the same time in 1857 by a decree of the British
Government. After three decades, the entire northern jurisdiction
of the University of Calcutta was carved out in the name of the
University of Allahabad on 23rd September, 1887. The author is
privileged to have taught there for more than two decades. Learned
teachers of mathematics at this University contributed a lot for
its academic growth. Their names and their mathematical texts
figure in this reportage. Some of them like Dr. Gorakh Prasad,
Prof. B.N. Prasad and Prof. R.S. Mishra became legendary figures
for their valuable services towards the subject.
