Srinivasa Ramanujan: Mathematical Genius
The Man Who Knew Infinity

Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920) was a self-taught Indian mathematical prodigy who revolutionized number theory and mathematical analysis despite having no formal training.

Key Contributions:

Discovered over 3,500 mathematical formulas and identities
Advanced the theory of partitions and infinite series
Created the Ramanujan-Hardy numbers and groundbreaking work in modular forms
Developed formulas for calculating pi with remarkable precision
Laid foundations for modern computational mathematics
Legacy:
His collaboration with British mathematician G.H. Hardy produced results that continue to inspire mathematicians worldwide. Ramanujan's intuitive genius—deriving complex formulas seemingly from nowhere—remains unparalleled.

Though he died at just 32, his work shaped decades of mathematical research and earned him recognition among history's greatest mathematicians.

"An equation for me has no meaning unless it expresses a thought of God." — Ramanujan
