Facts about srinivasa ramanujan

By India Today Web Desk: In 1918, Indian mathematician Srinivas Ramanujan was admitted to the hospital in London, where he was visited by his colleague and long-time friend G H Hardy. The fellow mathematician had arrived in a taxi which was numbered '1729' and had thought about it on his way to the room, upon entering Ramanujan's room, Hardy blurted "it was rather a dull number," after a brief hello. When Ramanujan came to know of the number, the mathematician said "No Hardy, it is a very interesting number. It is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways." This conversation, which is the base of the mysterious Hardy-Ramanujan number is documented in his biography 'The man who knew infinity' by Robert Knaigel THE MYSTERY OF RAMANUJAN NUMBER Ramanujan explained that 1729 is the only number that is the sum of cubes of two different pairs of numbers: 12 3 + 1 3, and 10 3 + 9 3. It was not a sudden calculation for Ramanujan. According to his biography, "Years before, he had observed this little arithmetic morsel, recorded it in his notebook and, with that easy intimacy with numbers that was his trademark, remembered it." Born on December 22, 1887, in a small village Erode southwest of Chennai in a Tamil Brahmin Iyengar family. A student who failed exams due to his negligence for non-mathematical subjects, Ramanujan worked on summing mathematical geometric and arithmetic series. Ramanujan's flair for mathematics was first recognised by a coll...

• Srinivasa Ramanujan was born on December 22, 1887, in Tamil Nadu's Erode. He is known for his contributions to the theory of numbers. • Mr Ramanujan studied at Government College in Kumbhakonam in 1903. In college, he failed exams because he was focused too much on mathematics and ignored other subjects. • According to Encyclopaedia Britannica, Mr Ramanujan published the first of his papers in the Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society in 1911. He travelled to England on scholarship in 1914 where he was tutored by and collaborated with British mathematician Godfrey H Hardy. • Mr Ramanujan's mastery of continued fractions was unequaled by any living mathematician, as per Encyclopaedia Britannica. He worked out the Riemann series, the elliptic integrals, hypergeometric series, functional equations of the zeta function using his own technique that came to be called Ramanujan summation. • Ramanujan returned to India in 1919. A year later, he died at the age of 32 in Kumbhakonam.

By India Today Web Desk: "An equation means nothing to me unless it expresses a thought of God. " -Srinivasa Ramanujan Born on December 22, 1887 in the town of Erode in Tamil Nadu, Ramanujan was a child prodigy, and a mathematical genius. Largely self-taught, he emerged from extreme poverty to become one of the most influential mathematicians of the 20th century. He extraordinarily contributed to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. The credit for all the mathematics development of our 20th century mathematics is credited to his final writings, theories and developments. Before an early death at age 32, Ramanujan independently compiled nearly 3900 results. He made substantial contributions to the analytical theory of numbers and worked on elliptic functions, continued fractions, and infinite series. His most famous work was on the number p (n) of partitions of an integer n into summands. When Ramanujan was 16, he came across the book, A Synopsis of Elementary Results in Pure and Applied Mathematics, by George S. Carr. This book was a collection of 5000 theorems, and it introduced Ramanujan to the world of mathematics. The next year, he had independently developed and investigated the Bernoulli numbers and had calculated Euler's constant up to 15 decimal places.

Srinivasa by Konrad Jacobs from Srinivasa Ramanujan (born December 22, 1887, in Erode, India—died April 26, 1920, in Kumbakonam), was an Indian mathematician whose contributions to number theory include the pioneering discovery of partition function features. He got a copy of George Shoobridge Carr’s Synopsis of Elementary Results in Pure and Applied Mathematics, 2 vol. (1880–86) when he was 15 years old. This collection of thousands of theorems, many with very brief proofs and no material younger than 1860, piqued his interest. Ramanujan expanded on the conclusions in Carr’s work, establishing his own theorems and concepts. He received a scholarship at the University of Madras in 1903, but he forfeited it the following year because he abandoned all other subjects in pursuit of mathematics. Here are ten interesting thing you should know about him. 1. He is from a small Tamil Nadu town Tamin Nadu by mckaysavage from Srinivasa Ramanujan was born on December 22, 1887, in the home of his maternal grandmother in Erode. For a long period, this house was untraceable. His father was a textile merchant’s clerk, while his mother was a housewife. She used to sing at a nearby temple as well. 2. He was inspired by a book about Mathematics Ramanujan was primarily self-taught and grew up in abject poverty. He developed his passion for mathematics on his own and in complete isolation. He borrowed a copy of Loney’s book on Plane Trigonometry from a friend when he was 12 years old, which wa...

National Mathematics Day is observed on December 22 every year. This date marks the birth anniversary of legendary mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. In 2012, then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh declared December 22 as National Mathematics Day to honor the life and achievements of Ramanujan. National Mathematics Day 2022: 10 facts about Srinivasa Ramanujan's life & work Hee are 10 points on life and work of the great mathematician: • Srinivasa Ramanujan was born on December 22, 1887, in Tamil Nadu’s Erode to a Brahmin Iyengar family. He had developed a liking for mathematics at a very young age, mastering trigonometry at 12 and was eligible for a scholarship at the Government Arts College in Kumbakonam. • He studied at the Government College in Kumbakonam in 1903. Due to his dislike for non-mathematical subjects, he failed exams there. He had enrolled in Madras’ Pachaiyappa College at the age of 14. • In 1912, Ramanujan started working as a clerk in the Madras Port Trust. There, his mathematical genius was recognised by some of his colleagues and one of them referred him to Professor GH Hardy of Trinity College, Cambridge University. He met Hardy in 1913, after which he went to Trinity College. • In 1916, Ramanujan received his Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree. He went on to publish several papers on his subject with Hardy’s help. The two even collaborated on several joint projects. • Ramanujan was elected to the London Mathematical Society in 1917. Next year, he was electe...
