Question

Back in his rooms in Trinity, he had another look at the script. He sent word to

Littlewood (probably by messenger, certainly not by telephone, for which, like

all mechanical contrivances including fountain pens, he had a deep distrust)

that they must have a discussion after hall.

Before midnight they knew and knew for certain, the writer of these

manuscripts was a man of genius. That was as much as they could judge that

night. It was only later that Hardy decided that Ramanujan was, in terms of

natural mathematical genius, in the class of Gauss and Euler; but that he could

not expect, because of the defects of his education and because he had come

on the scene too late in the line of mathematical history, to make contribution

on the same scale. The following day Hardy went into action. Ramanujan must

be brought to England, Hardy decided.
