American mathematician, scientist, software engineer, entrepreneur, and author Aditya Nagrath was born in Pueblo, Colorado, on June 9, 1980. He has made significant contributions to the fields of education and technology. As the creator of Elephant Learning Mathematics Academy, Nagrath has used his extensive background in both mathematics and educational technology to provide students all around the world with cutting-edge learning resources. His goal of empowering kids via mathematics has found resonance throughout the world, and his contributions will continue to influence education in the future by assisting pupils in confidently and easily overcoming math-related obstacles.

Nagrath was born and raised in Pueblo, where he developed a lifelong love of learning and arithmetic. After graduating from East High School (District 60) in 1998, he went on to enroll at the University of Denver. He studied there for a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Computer Science, which he earned in 2001. His pursuit of knowledge did not end there; in 2008, he obtained a Ph.D. in Mathematics and Computer Science with a specialization in Lattice Theory and Universal Algebra. Nagrath’s scholastic career saw him not only polish his mathematical abilities but also cultivate a strong interest in philosophy, which deepened his analytical approach and shaped his approach to problem-solving.

Prior to entering the field of education, Nagrath had a prosperous software engineering career. He was employed by large corporations including Lucent Technologies and Dish Network, contributing to well-known projects like web technologies, cable networks, and iOS and Android applications. He became well-known in the tech sector thanks to his contributions to atomic clocks and timekeeping, among other cutting-edge technological projects.

Nagrath ventured into entrepreneurship in 2009 when he started the contract software engineering company Elephant Head Software. The Ukrainian-based business specializes in creating unique software solutions for a wide range of customers, such as Verizon, Pearson, and Titan. For more than seven years, Elephant Head Software created more than fifty software applications that advanced television and the Internet of Things (IoT). In 2015, the company received the esteemed JD Edwards Innovation Award, which enhanced Nagrath’s standing as a pioneer in the field of software engineering. After switching his career path from software engineering to teaching in 2016, Nagrath established Elephant Learning Mathematics Academy, an online platform aimed at equipping kids with mathematical knowledge. The platform was developed with the goal of tackling the pervasive problem of math anxiety and assisting kids in learning the material in a method that is efficient and pleasurable.
