Who saw Ramanjan's work in Cambridge? Why was his admission into
college unusual

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Srinivasa Ramanujan FRS (/ˈsrɪnɪvɑːs rɑːˈmɑːnʊdʒən/;[1] born Srinivasa Ramanujan Aiyangar; 22 December 1887 – 26 April 1920)[2][3] was an Indian mathematician who lived during the British Rule in India. Though he had almost no formal training in pure mathematics, he made substantial contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions, including solutions to mathematical problems then considered unsolvable.

Explanation:

Answer 2

• Ramanujan's work was seen by G.H. Hardy in Cambridge.
• In 1914, Ramanujan was accepted into Cambridge without submitting an application.
• The partnership between Hardy and Srinivasa Ramanujan, an Indian mathematician, that began in 1914 has come to be praised.
• Ramanujan and Hardy became close colleagues when Hardy almost instantly recognized Ramanujan's tremendous, if untrained, intellect.

• Ramanujan transmitted his results to several mathematicians, but the first two thought Ramanujan was a crank. Hardy was the third mathematician to receive his results.
• Hardy was a fantastic mathematician, but he was also a great teacher who was eager to develop students' talents.
• Ramanujan's  admission into college unusual because when he was in school, Ramanujan showed extraordinary aptitude in mathematics. Neither could anyone in college.
• The University didn't require an application for Ramanujan's entrance, which made it exceptional.
