Dr. Sir Ziauddin Ahmed was born on February 13, 1878 in Meerut and did his High School from Meerut. He did his Intermediate from Allahabad University in 1893 and then B.A. with Mathematics from Aligarh in 1895 with distinction and won Strachey Gold Medal. He was appointed as Assistant Master in M.A.O. College. He pledged to Sir Syed that he would dedicate his life to MAO College. He was offered many positions including that of deputy Collector, but declined and preferred to teach at MAO College.

Later, he did M.A. (Mathematics) from Calcutta University and from Allahabad University in 1897 and 1899, respectively and then D.Sc. from Allahabad. He was the first Muslim who obtained D.Sc. (Mathematics). He joined Trinity College, Cambridge in 1901 for Honors Degree in Mathematics and graduated with excellence by securing the first position. He was also awarded Sir Isaac Newton Scholarship in 1904, a rare academic honour that was ever conferred on an Indian. He was made a member of the Mathematical Society of London and a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society. He did his Ph.D. from Gottingen University, Germany. He also visited Paris University in France and Bologna University in Italy for advanced studies in the field of modern Geometry.

On his return in 1906, Dr. Sir Ziauddin Ahmed devoted himself to serve his alma mater for the rest of his life. In 1911, he was appointed Secretary of the A.M.U. Foundation Committee as well as Constitution Committee. He was the first Indian Principal of the M.A.O. College and became its first Pro-Vice-Chancellor. He was elected Vice-Chancellor in 1934 and remained so until 1946 with a couple of breaks for several reasons, and thus became the largest serving Vice-Chancellor in the history of Aligarh Muslim University. He was also appointed Rector of the University.

He was a great parliamentarian. He was appointed a Member of State Assembly in 1919 as representative of Allahabad University. He was elected a Member of Central Assembly in 1930.

His close association with Sir Syed Ahmed Khan made him the embodiment of dignity, excellence and virtue. He died on the 23rd December 1947 in London and his dead body was brought to India and buried in Aligarh by the side of his mentor Sir Syed Ahmed Khan in the University Mosque on January 4,1948.
