3. 1. Ramanujan’s Life STory Let’s take a look at his life

4. 4 Srinivasa Ramanujan was one of the most famous mathematical wizards who made important contributions to the field of advanced mathematics. Srinivasa Ramanujan was born on 22 December 1887, to a poor Brahmin family in Erode, a small village in Tamil Nadu, India. erode Where it all started

5. His crazy love for maths 5 He loved mathematics more than any other subject and even more than people (except for his wife). I n his middle school classes, he mathematically calculated the approximate length of the equator. He also very clearly knew the values of the square root of two and the value of pi!

6. 6 At the age of 16, he got a scholarship for his first year at the Government College in his hometown. He later found a job as an accounts clerk in the office of Madras Port Trust. Then, he got in touch with V. Ramaswamy Aiyer, the founder of the Indian Mathematical Society. With his help, Ramanujan got his paper on Bernoulli numbers published in the ‘Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society’ in 1911. Education and Work

7. The major turning point 7 In 1913, he casually wrote to the well-known Cambridge mathematician, G. H. Hardy, and told him about his work. Hardy was mighty impressed with Ramanujan’s works and assisted him in getting a grant from Trinity College, Cambridge. Ramanujan moved abroad and started to work in collaboration with Hardy. In 1916, he graduated from Cambridge with a Bachelor of Science in Research.

8. The end of a genius’s life In 1920, he came back to India and died at the age of 32. While working with Hardy, Ramanujan suffered from Tuberculosis. Even then he remained engrossed in his research and study 8

9. 2. Ramanujan’s Contributions Let’s look at his contributions toward maths

10. 10 Despite having almost no formal training in Mathematics, Ramanujan’s knowledge of the subject matter was astounding. Without the knowledge of the modern developments in the subject, he had made some important contributions to the field of mathematical analysis, number theory, game theory, infinite series, and continued fractions.

11. 3. Ramanujan’s Achievements Let’s take a look at his achievements

12. December 22 Is celebrated as the National Mathematics Day in India 12 In his honour

13. The Man Who Knew Infinity were made to remember and celebrate his life. 13 A biography (in 1991) and a movie (in 2015) titled

14. 4. Hardy Ramanujan number Let’s take a look at this not so ordinary number

15. 15 1729 Mr. Hardy quipped that he came in a taxi with the number '1729' which seemed a fairly ordinary number. Ramanujan said that it was not. 1729, the Hardy-Ramanujan Number, is the smallest number that can be expressed as the sum of two different cubes in two different ways.
