Question

Mathematics in India, inevitably makes one think of one extra ordinary figure of recent times. This was

Srinivasa Ramanujam, born in a poor Brahmin family in South India, having no opportunities for a proper

education, he became a clerk in the Madras Port Trust. But he was bubbling over with some irrepressible

quality of instinctive genius and played about with numbers are equations in his spare time. By a luck

chance, he sent some of his amateur works to Cambridge University in England which attracted the

attention of a mathematician there. The scholars were impressed and a scholarship was arranged for him

there. So, he went to Cambridge and during a very brief period of time there, he did works of profound

value and amazing originality. The Royal Society of England honoured him by making a Fellow, but he

died two years later at the age of 33. Prof. Julian Huxley had referred to him somewhere as the greatest

mathematician of the century.
