Essay on Great Mathematician..
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Introduction
In this essay I will discuss the journey of the great mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. I will mention his background including his family, education and early achievements. This essay will certainly contain his mathematical discoveries in different topics and formulas he worked on. Last but not least, I am going to specify if any of his mathematics is used today in different technologies particularly computers.
About the Srinivasa Ramanujan:
Srinivasa Ramanujan, sometimes described as ‘The World’s Greatest Mathematician’ was born into a poor Indian village, Erode, on the 22nd of December, 1887. He lived in Erode for only a year and then moved with his mother to Kumbakonam, the town where Kuppuswamy Srinivasa Aiyangar (Ramanujan’s father) worked as a clerk in a cloth merchant’s shop.
In this town, Ramanujan attended several primary schools where he achieved a distinction in his primary examination which placed him in Town High School in 1898. Interestingly enough, Ramanujan chose to create his own path into mathematics at only the age of 13, he focused on the sum of geometric and arithmetic series. In 1902 Ramanujan created a method for solving quartric equations and just two years later, he explored Euler’s Constant and was able to calculate it to 15 decimal places as well as looking deeply into the series of S(1/n) and Bernoulli numbers.
In the same year, Ramanujan gained a scholarship due to his outstanding performance in his studies and therefore was a F.A student at Kumbakonam’s Government College. Throughout the year he got more and more fascinated by the subject and his passion grew for mathematics. Hence he failed all his formal education but mathematics at KGC. This failure had cost Ramanujan depression because neither he nor his parents could afford for his studies and as a result he ran away to Vizagapatnam in 1905 without the acknowledgment of his parents. At that time he decided to focus on the relationship between series and integrals.
One year later, Ramanujan returned to study at Pachaiyappa’s College hoping to pass the First Arts examination in order he gets into the University of Madras. However he failed all but mathematics, again, because he paid all his focus towards mathematics at that time.
Just like any random person, Ramanujan had a source of inspiration. He was influenced by a famous book of G.S.Carr, A Synopsis of Elementary Results Pure Mathematics, which was basically a condensation of 5000 algebraic, calculus, trigonometric and analytical geometric equations of the late 19th century. The book significantly affected his mathematical work.
