Question

Srinivasa Ramanujan, born in 1887, worked as a shipping clerk in Madras (Chennai). He was

obsessed with numbers and mathematics. It is estimated that Ramanujan conjectured or proved over

3,000 theorems, identities and equations. He claimed that most of his ideas came to him in dreams.

He wrote to Hardy, academic at Cambridge. Ramanujan claimed that he had devised a formula

that calculated the number of primes up to a hundred million with generally no error. Hardy was the only

one to recognize Ramanujan’s genius and brought him to Cambridge University. The two collaborated on

many mathematical problems.

There is a story that Hardy arrived at Ramanujan’s house in a cab numbered 1729. Hardy claimed

that the number was totally uninteresting. Ramanujan, however, averred, on the spot, that, on the

contrary, it was actually a very interesting number mathematically. He said that it was the smallest

number representable in two different ways as a sum of two cubes. Further he showed how 1729 was

the sum f the cubes of 1 and 12 and was also the sum of the cubes of 9 and 10. Such numbers are now

sometimes referred to as ‘taxicab numbers’.

Very early in life, Ramanujan fell into depression and illness. After a period in a sanatorium and a

brief return to his family in India, he died in 1920 at the tragically young age of 32. write the
