A Mathematical Genius: SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN Swayambhu

This book is intended for students interested in the life and work of Srinivasa Ramanujan, who during a short life-span of 32 years, 4 months and 4 days, left behind an incredibly vast and formidable amount of original mathematical discoveries which have been path-breaking in the areas of Number theory, such as Partitions and mock theta functions. The Notebooks of Srinivas Ramanujan and his Lost Notebook, containing about 4000 Entries / theorems, will continue to be eternal sources of inspiration to the mathematicians of the world, as the self-taught Ramanujan did not provide proofs for them and it is incredible that there are no errors in them. It is the fond hope of the author that the mathematics students will be inspired by the life of Ramanujan to take to a study of the Notebooks of Ramanujan and the Collected papers of Srinivasa Ramanujan.
