During his short life, Ramanujan independently compiled nearly 3,900 results (mostly identities and equations).[6] Many were completely novel; his original and highly unconventional results, such as the Ramanujan prime, the Ramanujan theta function, partition formulae and mock theta functions, have opened entire new areas of work and inspired a vast amount of further research.[7] Of his thousands of results, all but a dozen or two have now been proven correct.[8] The Ramanujan Journal, a scientific journal, was established to publish work in all areas of mathematics influenced by Ramanujan,[9] and his notebooks—containing summaries of his published and unpublished results—have been analysed and studied for decades since his death as a source of new mathematical ideas. As late as 2012, researchers continued to discover that mere comments in his writings about "simple properties" and "similar outputs" for certain findings were themselves profound and subtle number theory results that remained unsuspected until nearly a century after his death.[10][11] He became one of the youngest Fellows of the Royal Society and only the second Indian member, and the first Indian to be elected a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.

Ramanujan made major discoveries that have influenced mathematics and he is now celebrated as one of history's greatest mathematical minds.
Ramanujan was born in 1887 in India. He showed exceptional talent for mathematics from a young age, mastering advanced concepts by himself as a teenager. Though he lacked a formal degree, he made major contributions to mathematical functions and number theory. In 1909, he came to the attention of the mathematician G. H. Hardy, who helped get Ramanujan's work published. Ramanujan spent from 1914-1919 collaborating with Hardy at Cambridge University, but poor health forced his return to India, where he died in 1920 at age 32. Today he is remembered as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time for entirely original contributions.
Srinivasa Ramanujan was born in 1887 in Tamil Nadu, India. He was a gifted student who became fascinated with mathematics at a young age after obtaining a book compiling mathematical results. Despite failing his college exams due to focusing solely on mathematics, he gained recognition for his mathematical abilities and published his first paper in 1911. He struggled to find support for his work until he wrote to mathematician G.H. Hardy, who was amazed by Ramanujan's talents and helped bring him to Cambridge University in 1914. There, they had a highly successful collaboration, making discoveries like a formula for the partition function p(n), though Ramanujan's health suffered in the foreign climate and culture. He returned to India in
Srinivasa Ramanujan was an Indian mathematician who made significant contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. He developed his own theorems and ideas after discovering a book of mathematical results as a teenager. Ramanujan struggled to find employment due to pursuing mathematics instead of other studies. He gained recognition after publishing his first paper in 1911 and corresponding with the British mathematician G.H. Hardy. Despite religious objections, Ramanujan traveled to England in 1914 where he collaborated with Hardy and made further advances, especially in partitioning numbers. He was elected to the Royal Society of London but died in 1920 at the young age of 32, having made pioneering discoveries and being recognized as a mathematical genius.
Srinivasa Ramanujan was a famous Indian mathematician who made significant contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. He had a natural talent for mathematics and made many complex discoveries on his own. Despite coming from a poor background and having no formal training, he brought impressive theorems and results to the attention of Western mathematicians. Ramanujan collaborated with G.H. Hardy at Cambridge University, where he received his degree. He returned to India at age 32 and continued his research, but sadly died young from illness. Ramanujan's work inspired further research and he is celebrated in India for his mathematical genius.
Ramanujan was a renowned Indian mathematician born in 1887 in India. He showed extraordinary talent and self-taught himself advanced mathematics. He struggled to get recognition in India and moved to Cambridge University in England in 1913 where he began collaborating with mathematician G.H. Hardy and made significant contributions before dying young in 1920 at age 32. Ramanujan made substantial unpublished contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. India now celebrates his achievements and birthday annually with National Mathematics Day.

4. Early Education & Personal life
His father, K. Srinivasa Iyengar, a
clerk in a sari shop and hailed from
the district of Thanjavur
His mother, Komalatammal, was a
housewife & sang at a local temple
They lived in Sarangapani Street
Kumbakonam
In December 1889, Ramanujan had
smallpox and recovered
5. Early Education & Personal life
He moved with his mother to her
parents' house in Kanchipuram,
near Chennai
From his mother , he learned about
tradition . He learned to sing
religious songs, to attend pujas at
the temple and particular eating
habits – all of which are part of
Brahmin culture
6. Early Education & Personal life
Just before the age of 10, in
November 1897, he passed his
primary examinations in English,
Tamil, geography and arithmetic
With his scores, he stood first in the
district. That year, Ramanujan
entered Town Higher Secondary
School where he encountered formal
mathematics for the first time.
7. Early Education & Personal life
By age 11, he had exhausted the
mathematical knowledge of two college
students who were lodgers at his home
He was later lent a book on advanced
trigonometry written by S. L. Loney
He completely mastered this book by the
age of 13 and discovered sophisticated
theorems on his own.
8. By 14, he was receiving merit
certificates and academic awards
which continued throughout his
school career
He completed mathematical exams
in half the allotted time, and showed
a familiarity with geometry and
infinite series
Ramanujan was shown how to solve
cubic equations in 1902 and he went
on to find his own method
9. In 1903 when he was 16, Ramanujan
studied the book by G. S. Carr on A
Synopsis of Elementary Results in Pure
and Applied Mathematics , a collection of
5000 theorems
The book is generally acknowledged as a
key element in awakening the genius of
Ramanujan
The next year, he had independently
developed and investigated the Bernoulli
numbers and had calculated Euler's
constant up to 15 decimal places
10. When he graduated from Town Higher
Secondary School in 1904, Ramanujan
was awarded the K. Ranganatha Rao
prize for mathematics as an outstanding
student who deserved scores higher than
the maximum possible marks
He received a scholarship to study at
Government Arts College, Kumbakonam,
However, Ramanujan could not focus on
any other subjects and failed most of
them, losing his scholarship in the process
11. He later enrolled at Pachaiyappa' College
in Madras. He again excelled in
mathematics but performed poorly in
other subjects
Ramanujan failed his Fine Arts degree
exam in December 1906 and again a year
later
Without a degree, he left college and
continued to pursue independent
research in mathematics. At this point in
his life, he lived in extreme poverty and
was suffering from starvation
12. Adulthood in India
On 14 July 1909, Ramanujan was
married to a nine-year old bride, Janaki
Ammal (21 March 1899 - 13 April 1994)
After the marriage, Ramanujan
developed a hydrocele problems
His family did not have the money for the
operation, but in January 1910, a doctor
volunteered to do the surgery for free
13. Adulthood in India
After his successful surgery, Ramanujan
searched for a job
He stayed at friends' houses while he
went door to door around the city of
Chennai looking for a clerical position
To make some money, he tutored some
students at Presidency College who were
preparing for their exam
14. Attention from mathematicians
Ramanujan met deputy collector V.
Ramaswamy Aiyer, who had recently
founded the Indian Mathematical Society
Ramanujan, wishing for a job at the
revenue department where Ramaswamy
Aiyer worked, showed him his
mathematics notebooks
As Ramaswamy Aiyer later recalled:
I had no mind to smother his genius by
an appointment in the lowest level as
clerk in the revenue department
15. Ramaswamy Aiyer sent Ramanujan, with
letters of introduction, to his
mathematician friends in Madras
Some of these friends looked at his work
and gave him letters of introduction to R.
Ramachandra Rao, the district collector
for Nellore and the secretary of the Indian
Mathematical Society
Ramachandra Rao was impressed by
Ramanujan's research but doubted that
it was actually his own work !
16. Ramanujan's friend, C. V.
Rajagopalachari, persisted with
Ramachandra Rao and tried to clear any
doubts over Ramanujan's academic
integrity
Rao listened as Ramanujan discussed
elliptic integrals, hypergeometric series,
and his theory of divergent series, which
Rao believed Ramanujan's mathematical
brilliance . When Rao asked him what he
wanted, Ramanujan replied that he
needed some work and financial support
17. He continued his mathematical research
with Rao's financial aid taking care of his
daily needs
Ramanujan, with the help of Ramaswamy
Aiyer, had his work published in the
Journal of Indian Mathematical Society
One of the first problems he posed in the
journal was:
18. He waited for a solution to be offered in
three issues, over six months, but failed to
receive any. At the end, Ramanujan
supplied the solution to the problem
himself
He formulated an equation that could be
used to solve the infinitely nested radicals
problem. Using this equation, the answer
to the question posed in the Journal was
simply 3
19. Ramanujan wrote his first formal paper
for the Journal on the properties of
Bernoulli numbers
One property he discovered was that the
denominators of the fractions of Bernoulli
numbers were always divisible by six
Ramanujan's methods were so novel and
his presentation so lacking in clearness
and precision, that the ordinary
mathematical reader could hardly follow
him
20. Ramanujan later wrote another paper
and also continued to provide problems
in the Journal
In early 1912, he got a temporary job in
the Madras Accountant General's office,
with a salary of 20 rupees per month
Toward the end of that assignment he
applied for a position under the Chief
Accountant of the Madras Port Trust
21. Three weeks after he joined as a Class III,
Grade IV accounting clerk, making 30
rupees per month
At his office, Ramanujan easily and
quickly completed the work he was given,
so he spent his spare time doing
mathematical research
Ramanujan's boss, Sir Francis Spring,
and S. Narayana Iyer, a colleague who
was also treasurer of the Indian
Mathematical Society, encouraged
Ramanujan in his mathematical pursuits
22. Contacting English mathematicians
On the spring of 1913, Narayana Iyer,
Ramachandra Rao and E. W. Middlemast
tried to present Ramanujan's work to
British mathematicians
One mathematician, M. J. M. Hill of
University College London, commented
that although Ramanujan had "a taste
for mathematics, and some ability", he
lacked the educational background and
foundation needed to be accepted by
mathematicians
23. Contacting English mathematicians
On 16 January 1913, Ramanujan wrote
to G. H. Hardy
Coming from an unknown
mathematician, the nine pages of
mathematics made Hardy initially view
Ramanujan's manuscripts as a possible
"fraud“ !
Hardy recognized some of Ramanujan's
formulae but others "seemed scarcely
possible to believe"
24. Hardy was also impressed by some of
Ramanujan's other work relating to
infinite series:
The second one was new to Hardy, and
was derived from a class of functions
called a hypergeometric series which had
first been researched by L.Euler and
Carl F.Gauss.
25. After he saw Ramanujan's theorems on
continued fractions on the last page of the
manuscripts, Hardy commented that the
"[theorems] defeated me completely; I
had never seen anything like them
before”
He figured that Ramanujan's theorems
"must be true”
Hardy asked a colleague, J. E. Littlewood,
to take a look at the papers
Littlewood was amazed by the
mathematical genius of Ramanujan
26. On 8 February 1913, Hardy wrote a letter
to Ramanujan, expressing his interest for
his work. Before his letter arrived in
Madras during the third week of
February, Hardy contacted the Indian
Office to plan for Ramanujan's trip to
Cambridge
Ramanujan refused to "go to a foreign
land". Meanwhile, Ramanujan sent a
letter packed with theorems to Hardy,
writing, "I have found a friend in you
who views my labour sympathetically"
27. Hardy's correspondence with Ramanujan
soured after Ramanujan refused to come
to England
Apparently, Ramanujan's mother had a
vivid dream in which the family Goddess
Namagiri commanded her "to stand no
longer between her son and the fulfilment
of his life's purpose”
28. Ramanujan arrived in London on 14
April After six weeks, Ramanujan took
up residence on Whewell's Court, just a
five-minute walk from Hardy's room
Hardy had already received 120
theorems from Ramanujan in the first
two letters, but there were many more
results and theorems to be found in the
notebooks. Ramanujan left a deep
impression on Hardy who said he "can
compare him only with Euler or Jacobi"
29. Ramanujan spent nearly five years in
Cambridge collaborating with Hardy and
Littlewood and published a part of his
findings there
Hardy and Ramanujan had highly
contrasting personalities. Their
collaboration was a clash of different
cultures, beliefs and working styles. While
in England, Hardy tried his best to fill the
gaps in Ramanujan's education without
interrupting his spell of inspiration
30. Ramanujan was awarded a B.A. degree
by research (this degree was later
renamed PhD) in March 1916 for his
work on highly composite numbers, the
first part of which was published as a
paper in the Proceedings of the London
Mathematical Society
The paper was over 50 pages with
different properties of such numbers
proven. Hardy remarked that this was
one of the most unusual papers seen in
mathematical research at that time
31. On 6 December 1917, he was elected to
the London Mathematical Society.
He became a Fellow of the Royal Society
in 1918, becoming the second Indian to do
so and he was one of the youngest Fellows
in the history of the Royal Society
He was elected "for his investigation in
Elliptic functions and the Theory of
Numbers." On 13 October 1918, he
became the first Indian to be elected a
Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge
32. Illness and return to India
Plagued by health problems throughout
his life, living in a country far away from
home, and deeply involved with his
mathematics, Ramanujan's health
worsened in England, by stress and by
the scarcity of vegetarian food during the
First World War
He was suffering from tuberculosis and
a severe vitamin deficiency
33. Illness and return to India
Ramanujan returned to Kumbakonam,
Madras Presidency in 1919 and died soon
thereafter at the age of 32
His widow, S. Janaki Ammal, lived in
Chennai (formerly Madras) until her
death in 1994
36. Mathematical achievements
In mathematics, there is a distinction
between having an insight and having a
proof
Ramanujan's talent suggested a group of
formulae that could then be investigated
in depth later
It is said that Ramanujan's discoveries
are unusually rich
As a by-product, new directions of
research were opened up
37. Examples of the most interesting of these
formulae include the infinite series for π,
one of which is given below
38. In 1918, Hardy and Ramanujan studied
the partition function P(n) extensively
and gave a non-convergent asymptotic
series that permits exact computation of
the number of partitions of an integer
He discovered mock theta functions in
the last year of his life
For many years these functions were a
mystery, but they are now known to be
the holomorphic parts of harmonic weak
Maass forms
39. The Ramanujan conjecture
Main article: Ramanujan–Petersson
conjecture
Although there are numerous statements
that could bear the name Ramanujan
conjecture, there is one statement that
was in particular, the connection of this
conjecture with conjectures of André
Weil in algebraic geometry opened up
new areas of research
That Ramanujan conjecture is an
assertion on the size of the tau function
40. Ramanujan's notebooks
Ramanujan recorded the bulk of his
results in four notebooks of loose leaf
paper. These results were mostly written
up without any derivations
This style of working may have been for
several reasons. Since paper was very
expensive, Ramanujan would do most of
his work and perhaps his proofs on slate,
and then transfer just the results to
paper. Using a slate was common for
mathematics students at that time
• ,
41. Ramanujan's notebooks
The first notebook has 351 pages with 16
somewhat organized chapters and some
unorganized material
The second notebook has 256 pages in 21
chapters and 100 unorganised pages
The third notebook has 33 unorganised
pages
The results in his notebooks inspired
numerous papers by later mathematicians
trying to prove what he had found
42. Ramanujan's notebooks
Hardy himself created papers exploring
material from Ramanujan's work as did
G. N. Watson
A fourth notebook with 87 unorganised
pages, the so-called "lost notebook", was
rediscovered in 1976 by George Andrews
43. Notebooks 1, 2 and 3 were published as a
two volume set in 1957 by the Tata
Institute of Fundamental
Research(TIFR), Mumbai, India. This
was a photocopy edition of the original
manuscripts, in his own handwriting.
In December 2011, as part of
Ramanujan's 125th birth centenary
celebrations, TIFR republished the
notebooks in a colored two volume by
producing from scanned & microfilmed
images of the original manuscripts
44. Ramanujan–Hardy number 1729
Famous British mathematician G. H.
Hardy visited the hospital to see
Ramanujan ,when he was ill at Putney.
He said that he had ridden in taxi cab
number 1729 and remarked that the
number seemed to me rather a dull one,
and that I hoped it was not an
unfavorable . "No," Ramanujan replied,
"it is a very interesting number; it is the
smallest number expressible as the sum of
two cubes in two different ways."
45. Ramanujan–Hardy number 1729
The two different ways are
1729 = 13
+ 123
= 93
+ 103
Generalizations of this idea have created the
notion of "taxicab numbers"
46. Other mathematicians' views of Ramanujan
Hardy said : " Here was a man who could
work out modular equations and
theorems… beyond that of any
mathematician in the world, who had
found for himself the functional equation
of the zeta function and most famous
problems in the analytic theory of
numbers; and yet he had never heard of a
doubly periodic function or of Cauchy's
theorem….". He also stated that he had
"never met his equal, and can compare
him only with Euler or Jacobi."
47. Other mathematicians' views of Ramanujan
Quoting K. Srinivasa Rao , "As for his
place in the world of Mathematics, we
rate mathematicians on the basis of pure
talent on a scale from 0 to 100, Hardy
gave himself a score of 25, J.E. Littlewood
30, David Hilbert 80 and Ramanujan
100.”
Further, he stated Ramanujan's work was
now pervading many areas of modern
mathematics and physics.
48. Other mathematicians' views of Ramanujan
Noted physicist Jayant Narlikar spoke of
"Srinivasa Ramanujan, discovered by the
Cambridge mathematician Hardy, whose
great mathematical findings were
beginning to be appreciated from 1915 to
1919. His achievements were to be fully
understood much later, well after his
untimely death in 1920. “
P.K. Srinivasan has continually
introduced Ramanujan's mathematical
works
