This conjecture was made by Euler in 1782. In 1959, when Bose, Shrikhande and Parker disproved the conjecture. Shrikhande and Bose were, at the time, at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Shrikhande had been Bose’s student earlier (1947), but he was also visiting North Carolina from Nagpur for two years 1958 to 1960.
Parker was at the time working at Remington Rand Univac, an early computer company. His work on this problem was done entirely outside of company work; it was his recreation. He did it out of his pure love for the subject.
He returned to India in 1960, joining Banaras Hindu University, which he left in 1963 to join the University of Bombay. Shrikhande retired in 1978, but accepted the directorship of the Mehta Research Institute (now the Harish-Chandra Research Institute) in Allahabad, 1983-86. After his wife Shakuntala passed away in 1988, Shrikhande lived with his children and grandchildren in the US. He returned to India in 2009, and now lives in Vijayawada, taken care of by the in-laws of Nita Kulkarni, one of his grandchildren, in the ashram they run for underprivileged girls.
