1907 – The Indian Mathematical Society (IMS) was founded by V. Ramaswamy Aiyer with B. Hanumantha Rao as its first president. Having is headquarters in Pune, it is the oldest and largest Mathematical organization in India.

This organization aims at promoting Mathematical Study and Research in India.
1933 – Rameshchandra Gangaram Nadkarni, popularly known as Bapu Nadkarni was born. He is known to be the Cricket’s one of the most economic bowler ever. With the bowling figures of 32-24-23-0 at Kanpur followed by 34-24-24-1 at Delhi, he overall gave only 1.67 runs per over in his Test career.
