Professor Jamal Nazrul Islam |
Jamal Nazrul Islam (24
February 1939 – 16 March 2013) was a Bangladeshi scientific physicist and
cosmologist. He was a teacher at University of Chittagong, filled in as an
individual from the warning board at Shahjalal University of Science and
Technology and individual from the syndicate at Chittagong University of
Engineering and Technology until his passing . He additionally filled in as the
executive of the Research Center for Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the
University of Chittagong, Chittagong, Bangladesh. He was granted Ekushey Padak
in 2000 by the Government of Bangladesh. Islam was conceived on 24
February 1939 in Jhenaidah, East Bengal. His dad, Khan Bahadur Sirajul Islam,
was a sub-judge in British India. Due to his dad's activity, Islam spent his
initial school a very long time in Calcutta. He learned at Chittagong
Collegiate School and College until class ix and after that he went to Lawrence
College, Murree in West Pakistan to pass the Senior Cambridge and Higher Senior
Cambridge exams. He got a BSc degree from St. Xavier's College at the
University of Calcutta. In 1959, he got his Honors in Functional Mathematics
and Theoretical Physics from Cambridge University. He finished his Masters in
1960. An understudy of the Trinity College, he completed the Mathematical
Tripos. Islam acquired his PhD in connected arithmetic and hypothetical
material science from Trinity College, Cambridge in 1968, trailed by a DSc in
1982.
Islam worked in the
Institute of Theoretical Astronomy (later amalgamated to Institute of
Astronomy, Cambridge) from 1967 until 1971. Later he filled in as a scientist
in California Institute of Technology and University of Washington. Amid
1973-1974 he filled in as the personnel of Applied Mathematics of King's
College London. In 1978 he at that point joined the personnel of City
University London until the point that he came back to Chittagong in 1984. In
2006, he was made Professor Emeritus at the University of Chittagong.
His examination regions
incorporate Applied Mathematics, Theoretical Physics, Mathematical Physics,
hypothesis of Gravitation, General Relativity, Mathematical Cosmology and
Quantum Field Theory. Islam created/coauthored/altered more than 50 logical
articles, books and some famous articles distributed in different logical
diaries. Other than this he has likewise composed books in Bengali. Especially
imperative are Black Hole, distributed by the Bangla Academy, "The Mother
Tongue, Scientific Research and different Articles" and "Workmanship,
Literature and Society". The last two are gatherings.
In 1997, Islam was welcome
to the International Symposium on Mathematical Physics in memory of S.
Chandrasekhar with an extraordinary session on Abdus Salam masterminded by
Calcutta Mathematical Society in Kolkata-India. Educator Narayan Chandra Ghosh,
a mathematician of India, was executive of the prominent symposium. Islam
kicked the bucket on 16 March 2013 in Chittagong, Bangladesh.
