He is known primarily for his contributions to [[number theory]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhargava was awarded the [[Fields Medal]] in 2014. According to the [[International Mathematical Union]] citation, he was awarded the prize &amp;quot;for developing powerful new methods in the [[geometry of numbers]], which he applied to count rings of small rank and to bound the average rank of elliptic curves&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite press release|url=https://www.mathunion.org/imu-awards/fields-medal/fields-medals-2014|publisher=International Mathematical Union|title=Fields Medal 2014|access-date=10 February 2021}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|date=10 February 2021|title=Press Release - Manjul Bhargava|url=https://www.mathunion.org/fileadmin/IMU/Prizes/Fields/2014/news_release_bhargava.pdf|website=International Mathematical Unioin}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=Fields Medallists 2014 awardees with brief citations {{!}} International Mathematical Union (IMU)|url=https://www.mathunion.org/imu-awards/fields-medal/fields-medal-2014/fields-medallists-2014-awardees-brief-citations|access-date=2021-02-09|website=www.mathunion.org}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He was also a member of the [[Padma Award]] committee in 2023.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=April 2023 |title=Padma Awards Committee |url=https://www.mha.gov.in/sites/default/files/2023-04/PadmaAwardsCommittee_13042023.pdf |access-date=2024-08-21 |website=[[Ministry of Home Affairs (India)|Ministry of Home Affairs]] }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Education and career==&lt;br /&gt;
Bhargava was born to an [[India]]n family in [[Hamilton, Ontario]], Canada, but grew up and attended school primarily on [[Long Island]], [[New York (state)|New York]]. His mother Mira Bhargava, a mathematician at [[Hofstra University]], was his first mathematics teacher.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://paw.princeton.edu/article/play-fields-math |title=At Play in the Fields of Math |date=21 January 2016 |access-date=September 29, 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://news.rediff.com/specials/2009/mar/21/fareed-zakaria-is-india-abroad-person-of-the-year.htm |title=Fareed Zakaria is India Abroad Person of the Year&amp;amp;nbsp;— Rediff.com India News |publisher=News.rediff.com |date=2009-03-21 |access-date=2014-08-14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He completed all of his high school math and [[computer science]] courses by age 14.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.indiaabroad-digital.com/indiaabroad/personoftheyear/?pg=29 |title=India Abroad&amp;amp;nbsp;— Archives 2003-2008 |publisher=Indiaabroad-digital.com |date=2009-12-30 |access-date=2014-08-14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He attended [[Plainedge High School]] in [[North Massapequa, New York|North Massapequa]], and graduated in 1992 as the class [[valedictorian]]. He obtained his AB from [[Harvard University]] in 1996, where he was elected to [[Phi Beta Kappa]]. For his research as an undergraduate, he was awarded the 1996 [[Morgan Prize]]. Bhargava went on to pursue graduate studies at Princeton University, where he completed a doctoral dissertation titled &amp;quot;Higher composition laws&amp;quot; under the supervision of [[Andrew Wiles]] and received his PhD in 2001, with the support of a [[Hertz Foundation|Hertz Fellowship]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Bhargava |first=Manjul |url=https://catalog.princeton.edu/catalog/3399787 |title=Higher composition laws |publisher=[[Princeton University]] |year=2001 |isbn=978-0-493-19386-1 |editor-last=Wiles |editor-first=Andrew |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He was a visiting scholar at the [[Institute for Advanced Study]] in 2001–02,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.ias.edu/people/cos/ |title=Institute for Advanced Study: A Community of Scholars |publisher=Ias.edu |access-date=2014-08-14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and at Harvard University in 2002–03. Princeton appointed him as a tenured Full Professor in 2003. He was appointed to the Stieltjes Chair in [[Leiden University]] in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhargava has also studied the [[tabla]] under gurus such as [[Zakir Hussain (musician)|Zakir Hussain]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.princeton.edu/pr/pwb/03/1208/1b.shtml |title=Bhargava strikes balance among many interests |publisher=Princeton.edu |date=2003-12-08 |access-date=2014-08-14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He also studied [[Sanskrit]] from his grandfather Purushottam Lal Bhargava, a scholar of Sanskrit and ancient Indian history.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;An International Conference in Honor of the 100th Birth Anniversary of Professor P.

&lt;br /&gt;
==Career and research==&lt;br /&gt;
Bhargava’s PhD thesis generalized [[Gauss]]&amp;#039;s classical law for composition of [[binary quadratic form]]s to many other situations. One major use of his results is the parametrization of quartic and quintic orders in [[Algebraic number field|number fields]], thus allowing the study of the asymptotic behavior of the arithmetic properties of these orders and fields.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His research also includes fundamental contributions to the [[representation theory]] of [[quadratic form]]s, to [[interpolation theory|interpolation problems]] and [[p-adic analysis]], to the study of [[ideal class group]]s of [[algebraic number field]]s, and to the arithmetic theory of [[elliptic curve]]s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.claymath.org/fas/research_fellows/Bhargava/ |title=Fellows and Scholars &amp;amp;#124; Clay Mathematics Institute |publisher=Claymath.org |access-date=2014-08-14 |archive-date=17 August 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140817060023/http://www.claymath.org/fas/research_fellows/Bhargava |url-status=dead }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A short list of his specific mathematical contributions are:&lt;br /&gt;

*Proof that most hyperelliptic curves over &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Q&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; have no rational points.&lt;br /&gt;

Bhargava has won several awards for his research, the most prestigious being the [[Fields Medal]], the highest award in the field of mathematics, which he won in 2014.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He received the [[Morgan Prize]] in 1996.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.ams.org/notices/199612/comm-morgan.pdf |title=1996 AMS-MAA-SIAM Morgan Prize |access-date=2014-08-14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and [[Hertz Fellowship]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.hertzfoundation.org/dx/fellows/fellows.aspx |title=Hertz Foundation Fellows: Rare individuals elevate and inspire us through bold thinking and leadership. |access-date=2015-09-09}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He was named one of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Popular Science]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; magazine&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Brilliant 10&amp;quot; in November 2002.

Blumenthal Award for the Advancement of Research in Pure Mathematics in 2005.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Peter Sarnak]] of [[Princeton University]] has said of Bhargava:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/2005/10/11/13413/ Bhargava GS &amp;#039;98 awarded Clay Research prize] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110614221559/http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/2005/10/11/13413/ |date=14 June 2011 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{blockquote|At mathematics he&amp;#039;s at the very top end. For a guy so young I can&amp;#039;t remember anybody so decorated at his age.

It&amp;#039;s his exceptional talent that&amp;#039;s so striking.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2008, Bhargava was awarded the [[American Mathematical Society]]&amp;#039;s [[Cole Prize]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |date=April 2008 |title=2008 Cole Prize in Number Theory |url=https://www.ams.org/notices/200804/tx080400497p.pdf |journal=[[Notices of the American Mathematical Society]] |publisher=[[American Mathematical Society]] |volume=55 |issue=4 |pages=497–498}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The citation reads:&lt;br /&gt;
