India is a country blessed with great mathematicians and scientists. In the rich heritage that India has, one such great mathematician is Srinivasa Ramanujan. He was born on December 22, 1887 at Kumbakonam in the city of Chennai, erstwhile Madras. He came from a very poor family.

At the age of five, Srinivasa Ramanujan made his first appearance in school as a student. It was only a matter of time before it came to be known that he had extraordinary talent. He showed flashes of brilliance which were not to seen in any ordinary kid at that age. Srinivasa Ramanujancompleted his primary education in a couple of years and then went to Town High School for further studies.
He showed extraordinary liking for mathematics. When he was yet in school, he mathematically calculated the approximate length of earth’s equator. He very clearly knew the values of the square root of two and the pie value. At the age of 16, SrinivasaRamanujan got scholarship. But his love only for mathematics cost him the scholarship as he neglected and failed in other subjects.
The scholarship was of a great help to him as he came from a poor family. But the love of mathematics was so acute, that he did not know any other thing in the world. Srinivasa Ramanujan literally breathed mathematics day in and day out.

His loss of scholarship was a great blow to Ramanujan. He could not afford to study on his own. Poverty got the better of him and he had to find work and leave studies for good.

However, where there is a will, there is a way. He found a job of an accounts clerk in the office of the Madras Port Trust. That was good to support him. But more importantly, it was the relief that he could get back to mathematics again.

Srinivasa Ramanujan was born on 22 December 1887 in Erode, Madras Presidency, now in Tamil Nadu. He is a man known for his work done in the field of mathematics. And that too with no formal training of that subject which others are getting in European countries.  Ramanujan developed his own mathematical research in isolation. Some extraordinary contribution done by him in the field of mathematics are – mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. Along with this, the legend has provided many theorems.

Education 
He was enrolled into Telegu School, but found it too tiring and uninteresting to attend school and mostly he use to ran away from there. Later in 1904, he graduated from Town Higher Secondary School.

He also received a scholarship to study at Government Arts College in Kumbakonam. During his studies he was so influenced by studying mathematics that he could not focus on any other subject and failed in all of them. This resulted him in losing the scholarship. Later, without any degree, he left the college and continued to pursue independent research in mathematics.

Career
His unconditional love for mathematics was driving him to develop new things for that subject, but to support his livelihood he was working as a clerk in the Accountant-General's office at the Madras Port Trust Office. He kept working on inventing new mathematical theorems and continuously tried contacting the experts from west. G.H. Hardy, an academician at the University of Cambridge, recognized the brilliant work produced by Ramanujan and invited him to visit and work with him at Cambridge. Here, Ramanujan became a Fellow of the Royal Society and a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.

Some of the known works, produced by this great mind, are - Landau–Ramanujan constant, Mock theta functions, Ramanujan conjecture, Ramanujan prime, Ramanujan–Soldner constant, Ramanujan theta function, Ramanujan's sum, Rogers–Ramanujan identities and Ramanujan's master theorem.

At the End
Ramanujan died on 26th April, 1920, when he was only 32 years of age. His death occurred untimely because of illness, malnutrition, and possibly liver infection. In this short life he gave around 3900 results, mostly equations and identities and almost all of them prove to be correct and original.
