The Need for Chronological and Timeline Ordering
There is a need to distinguish between different mathematicians who have lived at different times. I feel (as would several others) that those mathematicians who have been alive during the 20th century (as eventful a century as what it was) deserve more of a mention that that which they are currently given.

Also, is there a way of ranking such mathematicians by the number of publications, or, indeed, are there any other methods and means that can be used for distinguishing between them (some mathematicians may have contributed original research, some mathematicians may have aided the development of key technologies within their nations...).

Kranthi Kiran Tumma
Kranthi Kiran was born and brought up in India. His interest in numbers originated during his childhood and he noticed his potential when he was in class six. Since the tender age of 11, he has stunned even the renowned mathematics experts, with his outstanding and immaculate mathematical skills, thus earning him a title of a 'mathematical prodigy'. He has given over 700 demonstrations of his ability at prestigious universities, other educational institutions, social gatherings, TV, Radio, etc in India and abroad and earned many titles and awards. Now a software programmer, Kranthi Kiran has over the years perfected and refined some techniques of quick calculation. Besides this, this young man also spares some time for an institution called as 'Kranthi Kiran Educational Academy for Mathematics Improvement' where he trains children and young students to do calculations in a faster and more accurate manner, with a view to cultivating a culture of mathematics amongst them. He has received many awards including one from the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and the “Global 30 Under 30-2005” from BITS Pilani and has been widely written about in the media. BBC London did an article on Kranthi called “Walking Computer”. He is author of the book titled Calculations @ The Speed Of Light.
