Real Hero of India-"SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN"

Most of us are AWARE of Amazing Contributions of "ARYABHATA" in Mathematics
But today i want 2 make u aware of Another "GENIUS OF MATHEMATICS,A REAL LOVER OF MATHEMATICS" named "SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN" about whom u hardly studied anywhere.

Srinivasa Ramanujan ("22 December 1887 – 26 April 1920") was an Indian mathematician and autodidact(Self Learner andSelf- Teacher)who,
with almost "NO FORMAL TRAINING" in pure mathematics, made EXTRAORDINARY CONTRIBUTIONS to
1)MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS
2) NUMBER THEORY
3) INFINITE SERIES
4) CONTINUED FRACTIONS".
Legend English mathematician G.H. Hardy recognized Srinivasa Ramanujan as mathematicians LIKE EULER AND GAUSS in terms of natural genius.
Born in Erode, Madras Presidency, to a POOR BRAHMIN FAMILY.

1)Ramanujan first encountered formal mathematics at "AGE 10."
2)He demonstrated a natural ability, and was given books on "ADVANCED TRIGONOMETRY" written by S. L. Loney.He MASTERED them by AGE 12.
3)HE DISCOVERED THEOREMS OF HIS OWN, including independently re-discovering Euler's identity.
He demonstrated "UNUSUAL MATHEMATICAL SKILLS" at school, winning accolades and awards.

4)By 17, Ramanujan conducted his OWN MATHEMATICAL RESEARCH on BERNOULLI NUMBERS and THE EULER–MASCHERONI constant.

He received a SCHOLARSHIP to study at Government College in Kumbakonam, but lost it when he failed his non-mathematical coursework. He joined another college to pursue independent mathematical research, working as a clerk in the Accountant-General's office at the Madras Port Trust Office to support himself.
In "1912–1913".
HE SENT samples of HIS THEOREMS to three academics at the "UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE".
Only "G.H. Hardy" recognised the BRILLIANCE of his work,
subsequently INVITING RAMANUJAN to visit and work with him at Cambridge. He became a Fellow of the Royal Society and a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, dying of illness, malnutrition and possibly liver infection in 1920 at the age of 32.
During his short lifetime, Ramanujan independently compiled nearly 3900 results (mostly identities and equations).Although a small number of these results were actually false and some were already known, most of his claims have now been proven correct.


"THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA DECLARED" in Dec 2011 to celebrate "RAMAJUAN'S BIRTHDAY" as the 'National Mathematics Day' every year on 22 December and declared 2012 as the 'National Mathematical Year'.

EVEN "SUPER-30 ANAND KUMAR" consider him as "HIS ROLE MODEL"...
I hope u wud like it :)
