is considered one of the best Indian mathematicians of the last century. His ancestors migrated from Andhra to Kerala, he grew up in Kerala and Madras and worked in Andhra university through most of his working career. Through one of his granddaughters, I came to know of this website started by his family members:
Dr. S. Minakshisundaram
There are several articles about his work by and his life by scientists and his family members. There are also interesting photographs and copies of some correspondence about his stay in Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton. Like many who studied in Madras in the late thirties and later, there seems to be some influence of Fr. C. Racine . His contemporary Komaravolu Chandrasekharan might have played a role in his visit to Princeton. I remember reading somewhere that G.Kallianpur visited Guntur and stayed for a month or so to learn about summability from Minakshi.
