Step-by-step explanation:
Srinivasa Ramanujan was a brilliant mathematician who gets credited even today for his contributions in the field of mathematics.
He was Born in the year 1887 in Tamil Nadu, Ramanujan was an exceptionally brilliant child who would outshine other children of his age in solving equations. The circumstances of his family were not good and they lived in poverty for most part of their lives, thereby not giving the young Ramanujan an opportunity to pursue his passion-mathematics-due to lack of proper resources.
