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.

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, ...

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 ...

Sunil Khilnani tells the story of the mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. We are accustomed to mathematicians as enigmatic beings, but the case of Ramanujan, one of the most important ...

Ramanujan was quite simply an exceptional human—sharp, funny and absorbed in the parallel universe that was mathematics—but he wasn’t an autistic genius. Ramanujan was quite simply an ...

Generating conjectures on fundamental constants with the Ramanujan Machine. Nature, 2021; 590 (7844): 67 DOI: 10.1038/s41586-021-03229-4 ...

Born in 1887 in what is now Tamil Nadu in India, Ramanujan was a self-taught mathematician. He often claimed that his results came to him in a dream, and disliked the formal proofs favoured by ...

The anecdote is a part of Ramanujan's biography 'The Man Who Knew Infinity' by Robert Knaigel. Mr. Hardy quipped that he came in a taxi with the number '1729' which seemed a fairly ordinary number.
