Srinivasa Ramanujan, F.R.S.: A Super Genius Indian Mathematician of 20th Century, Who Died at the Age 32

Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920) was a self-taught Indian genius who made exceptional contributions to mathematics. Born in Erode, India, he showed awe-inspiring talent as a child prodigy. He mastered advanced trigonometry by the age of 12. In 1914, Ramanujan moved to England to work with G.H. Hardy and was subsequently elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1918. Due to poor health, he returned to India and passed away in April 1920 at the age of 32. Ramanujan made pioneering discoveries regarding the properties of partition function, highly efficient series for calculating pi, exponential functions, mock-theta functions, continued fractions, elliptic functions, etc. Ramanujan's work has had a lasting impact, with many of his formulas finding modern applications in fields like cryptography, cancer treatment string theory, black holes, signal processing, polymer chemistry, and C++, etc. His notebooks, filled with thousands of theorems without proofs, have been studied for decades, with many of these proved correct long after his death. These aspects of Ramanujan are described in this book, which consists of 3 Sections and 5 chapters.
