Few points about srinivasa ramanujan

Srinivas Ramanujan Srinivasa Ramanujan was a great Indian mathematician. He is counted among the greatest mathematicians of modern times. He was the second Indian to become a member of the Royal Society and the first to become a member of Trinity College in Cambridge. He died at a very young age, but he left behind many great achievements. Based on his talent and passion, he made wonderful inventions in mathematics and simultaneously illuminated the name of India in the whole world. About Srinivas Ramanujan Ramanujan was born on December 22, 1887, in the village of Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu, to a Brahmin family. His father worked as a sari store clerk, while his mother was a homemaker who sang at a neighboring temple. Ramanujan's intellectual growth as a youngster differed from that of other children. Ramanujan did not learn to talk until he was three years old. As a result, his parents wondered if he was mentally ill. However, as soon as he was enrolled in the school, everyone was astounded by his brilliance. He topped the entire district in the primary exams at 10 and went to Town High School for additional education. He succeeded in all subjects, especially mathematics. After that, he enrolled in Town High School and spent six years there. In nature, he was peaceful, kind, and emotional. He would take a close look at everything and begin to consider it. Ramanujan was an insatiable questioner. His professors found his queries to be a little odd at times. For example, who wa...

This meeting is a celebration of the 100th anniversary of Ramanujan’s election as FRS. Distinguished scientists will speak on Ramanujan’s mathematics and its extraordinary legacy across many fields: Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Physics. The emphasis will be on recent, cutting edge research. The primary goal is to have leaders from these four important threads interact, share ideas, and develop cross-disciplinary collaborations. The schedule of talks and speaker biographies are available below. Recorded audio of the presentations are available on this page. Attending this event This meeting has taken place. Enquiries: contact the Professor Ken Ono, Emory University, USA Ono is the Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Mathematics at Emory University and Vice President of the American Mathematical Society. His contributions include several monographs and more than 160 research and popular articles in number theory, combinatorics and algebra. He earned his Ph.D. from UCLA and has received many awards for his research, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Packard Fellowship and a Sloan Research Fellowship. He was awarded a Presidential Early Career Award for Science and Engineering (PECASE) by Bill Clinton in 2000 and was named a Distinguished Teaching Scholar by the National Science Foundation in 2005. He is also a member of the US National Committee for Mathematics and the National Academy of Sciences. He was also an Associate Producer of the film “Th...

At the beginning of the twentieth century, India was under the British rulers. Indians tried to master the English language to impress their superior officers, to gain an advantage in the form of favours and recommendations to positions of importance. Some of the important books published in England were available within a short time in Indian libraries also. • 11. There are several teachers now in our country who are capable of propagating the nuances of creating even and odd magic squares, date magic squares, rectangular magic squares, squares which include negative numbers as well or even fractions and even create 100 × 100 squares. One such person who is a Railway Station Master, who can be contacted, is T.R. Jothilingam, Retired Railway Superintendent, Madurai. He was selected by the All India Ramanujan Maths Club, New Delhi, for the Ramanujan Award for 2016. The author provided him with all the dates of relevance in the life of Ramanujan, with which he formed a large magic sqaure. The interested reader may contact him at: [email protected]. • 23. Perhaps due to the reluctance with which he was given an audience (on the fifth visit) by the status conscious Dewan Bahadur Ramachandra Rao, Ramanujan initially did not avail himself of this dole. But later reluctantly did accept the same for a short period of time, till he got the first ever research scholarship of the University of Madras. • 29. The first 25 prime numbers are: 2,3,5,7; 11,13,17,19; 23,29; 31,37; 41,43...

He compiled over 3500 identities and equations in his life. Some of the identities were found in his “lost notebook”. When the notebook was discovered, mathematicians proved almost all of Ramanujan's work. His discoveries have led to many advancements in mathematics. His formulae are now being used in In 2011, Ramanujan's birthday was made "National Mathematics Day" b...

For someone who died at the age of 32 the largely self-taught Indian mathematician Ramanujan's statement concerned the deceptively simple concept of partitions—the different ways in which a whole number can be subdivided into smaller numbers. Ken Ono of Emory University and his collaborators One way to think of partitions is to consider how a set of any (indistinguishable) objects can be divided into subsets. For example, if you need to store five boxes in your basement, you can pile them all into a single stack; lay them individually on the floor as five subsets containing one box apiece; put them in one pile, or subset, of three plus one pile of two; and so on—you have a total of 7 options: 5, 1+1+1+1+1, 1+1+1+2, 1+1+3, 1+4, 1+2+2 or 2+3. Mathematicians express this by saying p(5) = 7, where p is short for partition. For the number 6 there are 11 options: p(6) = 11. As the number n increases, p(n) soon starts to grow very fast, so that for example p(100) = 190,569,292 and p(1,000) is a 32-figure number. (The The concept is so basic and fundamental that it is central to number theory and pops up in most other fields of math as well. Mathematicians have long known that the sequence of numbers made by the p(n)'s for all values of n is far from being random. Ramanujan and others after him found formulas to predict the value of any p(n) with good approximation, for example. And general "recursive" formulas have long existed to calculate p(n), but they don't speed up calculati...

Some people get to ride the roller coaster bike of their life for only a few years but can significantly impact humankind even in their unfortunately short lifespan. And it wouldn’t be exaggerating if I say that Srinivasa Ramanujan truly swore by these words. Born on December 22, 1887, exactly 133 years from today, Srinivasa is a genius who carved an unparalleled niche for himself in the field of mathematics and that too in a visibly brief lifetime of 32 years. Srinivasa Ramanujan (Image: Britannica) Let’s look at the genius’s mathematical prowess and acknowledge him for the recent applications that his work has found in physics. Background and love for Mathematics: Ramanujan was born in Madras, British India, to a very humble family in the late nineteenth century. Ramanujan’s father worked as a clerk in a shop, while his mother was a housewife who used to sing at a local temple. Srinivasa showed signs of his mathematical genius early, but he struggled a lot at other subjects, often failing in them. When he turned 11, he got a book on trigonometry as his birthday present. This was when Srinivasa started solving mathematics religiously. As a result, Ramanujan mastered trigonometry in just two years. However, the book that changed his life was the one containing 5000 theorems that he studied in detail. To everyone’s surprise, Ramanujan had started developing his own theorems by the age of 16. Unfortunately, back in the 1900s, Mathematics was not an option to make a living in...
