Ramanujans Lost Notebook : Part II

In the spring of 1976, George Andrews discovered a sheaf of 138 pages in the handwriting of Srinivasa Ramanujan. This manuscript was soon designated "Ramanujans lost notebook" Its discovery has frequently been deemed the mathematical equivalent of finding Beethovens tenth symphony. The "lost notebook" contains considerable material on mock theta functions and so undoubtedly emanates from the last year of Ramanujans life. It should be emphasized that the material on mock theta functions is perhaps Ramanujans deepest work.
