Ramanujan is perhaps most famous for coming up with partition identities, equations about the different ways you can break a whole number up into smaller parts (such as 7 = 5 + 1 + 1). In the 1980s, ...

The film based on Robert Kanigel’s excellent biography of the mathematical genius Srinivasa Ramanujan and starring Dev Patel and Jeremy Irons is due to be released in India next month. The book ...

Indeed, Ramanujan’s discoveries are so profound and multi-layered that they continue to stimulate exciting new avenues of mathematical research, over 100 years after his death.

SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN was a mathematician like no other. He had almost no formal training yet produced some of the most stunning mathematical results of all time. This month marks the 100th ...

Mathematicians say there’s more to Ramanujan’s 1729 than meets the eye Emory University researchers say Ramanujan showed how the number is also related to elliptic curves and K3 surfaces ...

Abstract We present Ramanujan’s proof of Bertrand’s postulate and in the process, eliminate his use of Stirling’s formula. The revised proof is elegant and elementary so as to be accessible to a wider ...

SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN was a mathematician so great that his name transcends jealousies, the one superlatively great mathematician whom India has produced in the last thousand years. He was born at ...
