Srinivasa Ramanunjan A great Indian Mathematician

1. ( Dec 22, 1887 - Apr 26, 1920 ) A Great Indian Mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan

2. Srinivasa Ramanujan was one of India Great Mathematical geniuses. He made substantial contributions to the analytical theory of numbers and worked on elliptic functions, continued fractions and infinite series. In 1900 he began to work on his own on mathematics summing geometric and arithmetic series. Srinivasa Ramanujan is remembered for his unique mathematical brilliance, which he had largely developed by himself. In 1920 he died at age 32, generally unknown to the world at large but recognized by mathematicians as a phenomenal genius, without peer since Leonhard Euler (1707–83) and Carl Jacobi (1804–51) . Introduction

3. S rinivasa Ramanujan contribution to Mathematics He has made extraordinary contributions in the field of mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series and continued fractions and the most inspiring thing about him is that all these were achieved without a formal education in mathematics. It was his love and passion that led him to pursue mathematics at a very informal level yet contribute more than others.

4. Ramanujan Honour Awarded BA degree by research (later called PhD) in March 1916. 6.12.1917- Elected to London Mathematical Society. Became the “Fellow of the Royal Society” in 1918. Became the first Indian to be elected a fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.

5. The Man Who Knew Infinity Ramanujan died of his illness on April 26, 1920, at the age of 32. Even on his deathbed, he had been consumed by math, writing down a group of theorems that he said had come to him in a dream. These and many of his earlier theorems are so complex that the full scope of Ramanujan’s legacy has yet to be completely revealed and his work remains the focus of much mathematical research. His collected papers were published by Cambridge University Press in 1927. Of Ramanujan's published papers — 37 in total — Berndt reveals that "a huge portion of his work was left behind in three notebooks and a 'lost' notebook. These notebooks contain approximately 4,000 claims, all without proofs. Most of these claims have now been proved, and like his published work, continue to inspire modern-day mathematics." A biography of Ramanujan titled The Man Who Knew Infinity was published in 1991, and a movie of the same name starring Dev Patel as Ramanujan and Jeremy Irons as Hardy, premiered in September 2015 at the Toronto Film Festival.

6. National Mathematics Day India celebrates 22nd December every year as National Mathematics Day to honour the birthday of the greatest mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. The world will always be grateful to him for his contributions in Mathematics.
