Satyendra Nath Bose (1894-1974) was associated primarily with what came to be known as the Bose-Einstein statistics and Bosons.
He was a versatile genius, and, in addition to physics and mathematics, his interests embraced such diverse fields as chemistry, mineralogy, social science, philosophy and languages. By those who had the privilege of being his students, he is remembered not only as a supreme teacher but also as a most valuable friend.
