This page is dedicated to Srinivasa Ramanujan the great Mathematician from India.
The most important thing which I would like to
tell my friend here is that the present ATMs are working on one of his
partition theory. So, next time when you are using an ATM pay respect to
Srinivasa Ramanujan.
The year 2012 was announced as National
Year of Mathematics by PM of India Dr. Manmohan Singh as this year is the
125th birth year of Srinivasa Ramanujan. Apart from this, 2012
is the centenary year since Ramanujan first visited the UK and became friend
with then Cambridge professor G H Hardy.

Google page dedicated to Srinivasa Ramanujan
on his 125th birthday

We should be proud about
the day today when Google search engine page is dedicated to Srinivasa Ramanujan. He was born on 22 December 1887 in a poor Brahmin
family in southern India. His extraordinary inclination to Mathematics
was since the tender age of 10 when normally the children are just looking of
time to run for playing. Before entering the age of teens just in his twelfth
year of life he has mastered the book of S L Loney which was on trigonometry.
Apart from discovering theorems all by on his own, he re-discovered Euler’s identity
independently. In his teen he was busy conducting his own mathematical research
on Bernoulli numbers and Euler-Mascheroni constant.

Srinivasa Ramanujan was an autodidact Mathematician
who was not having any formal training in simple mathematics. But his religious
dedication towards this subject has his name in mathematical analysis, number
theory, infinite series, and continued fractions for his extraordinary
contributions.
Some of Srinivasa Ramanujan’s theorems are
still not solved. He has travelled all the way to England against the then myth
that no one should cross the sea or their religion will be washed away.
