Srinivasa Ramanujan - December 22, 1887 - April 26, 1920

(NOTE: Today is his death Anniversary. We all Indians should be proud of Srinivasa Ramanujan who accomplished so much in a short span of his life. He credited all his achievements to his village Goddess Mahalakshmi. He was the youngest man to be inducted as a Fellow of the Royal Society. All the Mathematical Departments across the globe still trying to find out how he came up with 39,000 equations. His Genius still amazes the World.

Throughout the history of mathematics, there has been no one remotely like Srinivasa Ramanujan. There is no doubt that he was a great mathematician, but had he had simply a good university education and been taught by a good professor in his field, we wouldn’t have a film about him.

As the years pass, I admire more and more the astonishing body of work Ra

Srinivasa Ramanujan, the genius mathematician was born on 22^nd December 1887. In December 2011, Ramanujan’s birthday was declared as ‘National Mathematics Day’, in recognition of his contributions to the field of mathematics.

A person who lived for a little over 32 years, Ramanujan was born in Kumbhakonam, the famous temple town in the Cauvery River delta.

Kumbakonam

Kumbakonam, the rice bowl of Tamil Nadu has been famous for many things, from temples to rice and now for the aromatic Kumbakonam Degree Coffee.

In his Dreams

Ramanujan attributed the mathematical formulae that he came up with, to Namagiri Thayar, the Goddess of Namakkal temple.

Introduction

Srinivasa Ramanujan has been hailed as a natural mathematical genius and compared to all time great mathematicians Euler and Gauss, by his friend, philosopher and guide, G H Hardy. In 1940, Hardy gave two lectures at Yale University, which were subsequently published as a book [1] entitled: "Ramanujan: Twelve Lectures inspired by his life and work". Earlier, in 1927, Hardy, along with Dewan Bahadur Ramachandra Rao and P V Seshu Iyer, brought out the "Collected papers of Srinivasa Ramanujan", which have been more recently reprinted [2], in 1999, by the American Mathematical Society and the London Mathematical Society.

This reprinting of the two volumes at the dawn of this century clearly is an indication of the intrinsic worth of the work of Ramanujan in his brief life span of 32 years, 4 months and 4 days, of which he spent five years, 1914-919, at the Trinity College, Cambridge University. Hardy convinced the authorities to award to Ramanujan the BA degree, by research, of the Cambridge University, for his contributions to mathematics, including his longest p
