Sharadchandra Shankar Shrikhande was born on 19th October, 1917. His specialty was combinatorics and statistical designs. He collaborated with R. C. Bose in their disproof of the famous Leonhard Euler’s conjecture made in 1782. Euler conjectured that there do not exist two mutually orthogonal latin squares of order 4n + 2 for every n. Their discovery became front page news in the Sunday Edition of New York Times of April 26, 1959.
