Why hardy and ramanujan could not talk freely with each other
Answers
Ramanuj was great in Mathematics, he was a genius student but at a time after his matriculation examination he became frustrated about Mathematics. He couldn't focus on any other subjects. He felt obsession that he couldn't score more marks in any other subjects. So he sent a letter to Godfrey Harold Hardy who was teacher of Ramanuj and also a great Mathematician teacher of that timein England. This letter changed their life. They couldn't talk with each other.
Answer:
Ramanujan was an untrained genius. There was a big difference in Ramanujan's and Hardy's education. Ramanujan knew nothing of modern rigour : he did not know what a proof was and Hardy was obliged to teach him some formal mathematics. He was sometimes confused with Hardy's conversation when it was outside mathematics. Due to all these reasons, Hardy and Ramanujan could not talk freely with each other.
