Shivam Patel (born 20 Jan 1999) is an Indian born mathematical genius who is best known for his extensive research in - Number Theory, Analysis and mainly Ramanujan Mathematics. He is the youngest working mathematician in the world. He has been an avid student of Khan Academy since the past 5 years. The Computer science feature of Khan Academy is his favorite and has made numerous programs in it. Shivam aspires to became an IITian and then a staff member at Khan Academy and continue the campaign of free world class education for all.

Shivam though being a mathematician has made notable contribution to computer science with his influential programming skills and witty lines of code. He started learning programming since he was 8 through the internet. At the tender of 9 he developed his own style of programming which made him stand out from others - which is seen even today in his programs. He also started programming in Khan accdemy right from when the CS began there.

Shivam's style of programming was quite peculiar and reflected his original intellectual ability, clearity of understanding and above all his love for numbers .Shivam's work mainly deals with high precision calculation of the decimal digits for various constants  , Prime testing and much more  .He at the age of 13 using his Destop PC calculated the value of π upto 16,000,000,000 (16 billion) decimal places , which is itself notable. Shivam has written many inovative programs for prime number test. He has calculated the value of constants like Euler's constant, Zeta(3) , The golden ratio etc upto very high decimal places.

Shivam also works on determination of constants on basis of random output. One of his innovative programs - the only one original available to me is the computation of pi using the fact that - The probability that two random integers are coprime is 6/pi^2 .
