When I was a boy, I loved numbers, and I still do. Only when I was a sophomore at Princeton did I shift my attention from ...

Abstract: In 1918, S. Ramanujan defined a family of trigonometric sums now known as Ramanujan sums. In this letter, we define a class of operators based on the Ramanujan sums termed here as Ramanujan ...

Authors say most of these documents were never in public domain The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by ...

It was in January 1913 that Ramanujan wrote one of the most famous letters in the history of mathematics. The recipient was G.H. Hardy, a lecturer at Trinity College, Cambridge, and one of Britain’s ...

when he sent a letter filled with groundbreaking formulas to the eminent Cambridge mathematician GH Hardy. Initially sceptical, Hardy was soon astonished. Upon meeting Ramanujan, he said, ...

IN a letter in NATURE (Jan. 20, 1921; vol. 106, p. 661) I took occasion to point out that the year of Ramanujan's birth was given in some notices as 1887 and in others as 1888. I wrote at the time ...

The first algorithms that calculated pi up to record-setting lengths of several million digits were based on formulae published by Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan in 1914. Today ...

Satyendra Nath Bose reimagined quantum statistics with a single letter to Einstein, fundamentally shaping ... which transformed astrophysics. Or how Ramanujan, armed with nothing but self-taught ...

In 1913, hoping someone would take him seriously, he wrote a letter to G. H. Hardy, a top mathematician at Cambridge University. “Local mathematicians are not able to understand me,” Ramanujan wrote, ...

and a cryptic but ultimately revelatory deathbed letter. In most re-tellings, the maths are merely a backdrop to the drama and tragedy. But Ramanujan’s theoretical discoveries are recognized ...
