Ramanujan's life and death are symbollic condition's of India
Answers
Explanation:
He knew the end was nearing. Srinivasa Ramanujan, mathematical prodigy, hastily scribbled formulas after formulas on loose sheets of papers. He told his wife, Janaki Ammal, his work would bring laurels and perhaps bring them out of poverty and want on day. The illness did not permit him to write, yet he wrote first on a slate and then copied final results on paper. The sheets of papers, discovered fifty years later, created ripples in the quiet world of mathematics. Armed with this new tool, physicists are today exploring the stuff the universe is made of and trying to understand objects like black holes.
“The formulas that Ramanujan had put in his so-called last notebooks could not have resulted from pure computations because the methods to do such computations were worked out only in the late 1970s and 1980s, many years after his death. He must have had deep insights. It’s puzzling how he came to these findings,” Ken Ono, professor of mathematics at Emory college and vice president of American Mathematical Society, told India Science Wire.
Prof Ono is well known for a work based on Rogers-Ramanujan identities, which can be used to produce algebraic numbers such as phi (Golden Ratio). He served as an associate producer and mathematical consultant for The Man Who Knew Infinity, a feature film about Ramanujan’s life. His recent memoir My Search for Ramanujan: How I Learned to Count (co-authored with Amir D. Aczel) recounts how Ramanujan has been an inspiration in his own life when as a 15-year-old boy he was struggling to find his call.
