Srinivasa Ramanujan was an Indian mathematician who lived during the British Rule in India. He made significant contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. Some of his key achievements included formulating a rapid method for computing pi and developing the circle method with G.H. Hardy, which remains an area of ongoing mathematical research. He also independently discovered K3 surfaces and made breakthroughs in partition theory and highly composite numbers.

2. Srinivasa Ramanujan was an Indian mathematician who lived during the British Rule in
India. He made numerous contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite
series, and continued fractions, including solutions to mathematical problems then
considered unsolvable.
*In 1914, Ramanujan found a formula for computing π (pi) that is currently the basis for
the fastest algorithms used to calculate π.
* The circle method, which he developed with G. H. Hardy, constitute a large area of
current mathematical research.
* Ramanujan discovered K3 surfaces which helps in theory and quantum physics.
* He Ph.D. was awarded in recognition of his work on ‘highly composite numbers’.
* The Partition Theory of Numbers, Ramanujan also came up with three remarkable
congruences for the partition function p(n). They are p(5n+4) = 0(mod 5); p(7n+4) = 0(mod
7); p(11n+6) = 0(mod 11).

3. BHASKARA
Bhāskara was a 7th-century mathematician and astronomer, who was the first to
write numbers in the Hindu decimal system with a circle for the zero, and who gave
a unique and remarkable rational approximation of the sine function in his
commentary on Aryabhata's work.
*Bhaskaracharya became head of the astronomical observatory at Ujjain, the leading
mathematical centre in India at that time.
* Bhāskara I wrote two treatises, the Mahabhaskariya and the Laghubhaskariya. He also
wrote commentaries on the work of Aryabhata I entitled Aryabhatiyabhasya.
* The Mahabhaskariya comprises of eight chapters dealing with mathematical astronomy.
The book deals with topics such as: the longitudes of the planets; association of the
planets with each other; the lunar crescent; solar and lunar eclipses; and rising and
setting of the planets.
* Some of the contributions of Bhāskara I to mathematics are: numbers and symbolism,
the categorization of mathematics, quadratic equations, cubic equations, symbolic
algebra, the algorithm method.

4. Some of the famous slogans are:
1. “Mathematics is the best thing in this world because it is
true and logical.”
2. “Mathematics is the biggest motivation because it starts
from zero and goes up to infinity.”
3. “Mathematics is the queen of science and gives you the
power to solve problems!!!”
4. “No thing in this world can be created without knowledge of
mathematics.”
5. “The beauty of mathematics is that the more you know, the
less sure you are about it.”
6. “Mathematics is the sharpener for brain. Use it to always
stay smart and ahead!!!”
7. “Those who call mathematics stupid are the ones who
cannot measure their intelligence.”
