Ramchundra (Ramachandra Lal) (Devanagari,रामचन्द्र लाल) (c.

1821–1880) was a British Indian mathematician. His book, Treatise on Problems of Maxima and Minima, was promoted by mathematician Augustus De Morgan.

Writing in his preface to the treatise, De Morgan states that Ramchundra was born in about 1821 in Panipat to Sunder Lal, a Kayasth of Delhi.

He came to De Morgan’s attention when, in 1850, a friend sent him Ramchundra’s work on maxima and minima.

The 29-year-old self-taught mathematician had published the book at his own expense in Calcutta in that year. De Morgan was so impressed that he arranged for the book to be republished in London under his own supervision, and in general undertook to bring Ramchundra's work to the notice of the broader European scientific community.
