the quantum theory of an ideal gas, as I shall show elsewhere." Dr S.N. Bose was the first mathematician to put quantum statistics logically in formulae.
E(v)dy = 802.

This is the world-famous radiation equation of Max Planck. At the experimental level, it has been proved fully true. In explaining this equation, several scientists accepted radiation in the wave form but in deriving this formula Bose accepted radiation in the form of electromagnetic particles. It was his own original achievement.
It was a fortunate coincidence that Bose discovered his quantum statistics when de Broglie was developing theory of wave-particle duality of matter. Since this discovery was derived from the wave form of particles, it may well be predicted that the Bose would have certainly discovered the wave form of electrons if de Broglie had not done so in 1924.
Einstein was the first scientist who fairly well understood Bose's statistics. He also used Bose's statistics in the quantum theory of an ideal gases. He showed that Bose's statistics is not confined only to photon particles but it also applies to gases and other material particles. This statistics developed by Einstein is known ever today in the world of science as Bose-Einstein statistics.
In late thirties and early forties of the nineteenth century, Bose participated in the freedom movement of India. Bose believed that if knowledge of science and technology is to be disseminated to the common man, it should be imparted through the mother tongue. For this purpose he established "Bangiya Bignan Parishad."
In 1962 Bose visited Japan to attend a conference on science and philosophy. This conference was held in sad memory of the dropping of the atom-bombs over Hirosima and Nagasaki in August 1945 A. D. During this visit to Japan, he was very much impressed with scientific, economic, social and cultural progress of Japan. From this visit, he got a direct experience of the influence of scientific education imparted through the mother- tongue.
