Someone known for being very good at math is more than just a smart person; they are like a school all by themselves. Their life, like a math problem that's been solved perfectly, has been clear and has had a big effect. They were born wanting to know things and spent their life learning about numbers and shapes. People who work with them often say they know a lot about math, which shows how much they understand and how smart they are. They have done important things in math over many years of learning and teaching. Starting with their early work on Number Theory in the 1970s, their ideas have always helped us understand math better. They have helped many students love math by being patient and wise. One student remembers, "Professor Sharma could make even hard ideas seem easy to understand." They didn't just work with books and ideas. They went to math meetings around the world, sharing what they learned and talking with other math experts. In 2005, they gave an important speech on Applied Mathematics at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Spain, and many people recognized their work. They think math is not just a subject but a way to think and a way to solve real problems. Their work still helps and affects the math world today.
