Who is Srinivasa Ramanujan ?
On December 22 December 1887, A great Indian Mathematician named Srinivasa Ramanujan was born in a Tamil family in Erode, Madras Presidency.
How Srinivasa Ramanujan died ?
On April 26, 1920, One of the Greatest Mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan Died due to illness, liver infection, and malnutrition.
Srinivasa Ramanujan Education
Srinivasa Ramanujan’s education started at the age of 10.
Though he was good at maths, he was not good at other subjects because of which there were a lot of downfalls in his educational life.
On October 1, 1892, He was enrolled at the local school. After his grandfather’s death, he changed his school. As he didn’t like school, he used to avoid going to school. He started fleeing the school.
At the age of 10 years, in November 1897, At Kangayan Primary School, he passed his primary examinations in Tamil, English, geography, and arithmetic, and he topped in the district.
Srinivasa Ramanujan’s education started in Town Higher Secondary School at a very young age. During Srinivasa Ramanujan’s education, he has received academic awards and merit certificates like K. Ranganatha Rao prize for mathematics by the school’s headmaster.
In the year 1904, He Obtained the Scholarship from Government Arts College, Kumbakonam. But as he was so much focused on his mathematics and research works that he couldn’t concentrate on other subjects and started losing his scholarship.
In the year 1906, He enrolled in Pachaiyappa’s College in Madras. There he passed in mathematics, but he couldn’t perform well in subjects such as English, Sanskrit, and Physiology because of which he failed in the entrance exam.
He failed in the Fellow of Arts exam in the year 1907, and then he discontinued his college and continued to pursue independent research in mathematics.
Srinivasa Ramanujan Contribution Towards Mathematics
1. He was an autodidact in the field of mathematics. With the knowledge he has gained, he was able to make extraordinary contributions in the field of mathematics, which includes mathematical analysis, infinite series, number theory, and continued fractions.
2. In the era of the 1880s and 1900s, where there was no access to higher access to the mathematical community, Srinivasa Ramanujan worked hard days and nights researching and developing their own mathematical theories.
These theories changed the phase of the world. His research has been appreciated by a few British Mathematicians like G. H Hardy Carl Friedrich Gauss and Leonhard Euler.
3. He mastered books written by S. L. Loney on advanced trigonometry by the age of 12.
4. He got special honor as he showed his exceptional mathematical skills at school at a very young age.
5. He conducted his own mathematical research on the Euler–Mascheroni constant and on Bernoulli numbers at the age of 17.
6. Srinivasa Ramanujan number became very famous
From the childhood days itself, he was deeply involved in maths.
When he was in school, At Kangayan Primary School Ramanujan, he became the best score in the district because of his excellent performance in maths. He used to showcase his mathematical expertise to his college friends, who used to stay at his home.
He received academic awards and merit certificates at his school, and to 35 teachers, he assisted the logistics of assigning its 1,200 students in the school.
In 1899, He Mastered advanced trigonometry written by S. L. Loney and created sophisticated theorems on his own.
He used to complete his mathematical exams in half the allotted time; He used to have particular interest in infinite series and geometry.
In 1902 He learned to solve cubic equations; At a very young age, he developed his own method to solve the quartic functions.
In 1903 He unlocked the book written by George Shoobridge Carr, which is A Synopsis of Elementary Results in Pure and Applied Mathematics.
Srinivasa Ramanujan’s life changed in the year 1910 when Ramanujan met deputy collector V. Ramaswamy Aiyer, founder of the Indian Mathematical Society. He met him, Wishing for a job at the revenue department. Ramanujan showed him his mathematical works to V. Ramaswamy.
Aiyer sent his works to mathematician friends in Madras. They sent his works to R. Ramachandra Rao, the secretary of the Indian Mathematical Society. Rao was impressed by Ramanujan’s research.
R. Ramachandra Rao gave him a chance. Ramanujan discussed hypergeometric series, elliptic integrals, and his theory of divergent series, which Rao was convinced that he was extraordinary in the field of Maths.
Srinivasa Ramanujan continued to work and do his research with R. Ramachandra Rao’s financial aid.
What is Srinivasa Ramanujan famous for?
Ramanujan published his work in the Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society.
He published this question in three editions of the journal and waited for someone to answer, but as no one could answer that he reveled the answer by formulating the equation on his first notebook in Page Number 105.
In his notebook on 17-page, Ramanujan gave three proofs, three conjectures, and two corollaries. For “Some Properties of Bernoulli’s Numbers” (1911).
He became a Fellow of Cambridge Fellow of the Royal Society as he was amazing in Mathematics.
Ramanujan independently compiled nearly 3900 results in a short time.
Hardy–Ramanujan number or Srinivasa Ramanujan Number
1729 is called Hardy–Ramanujan number or Srinivasa Ramanujan Number. It was a taxicab number and this number became famous and is now known as the Ramanujan’s number. When British mathematician G. H. Hardy visited India to meet Srinivasa Ramanujan in hospital. They had a conversation :
G H Hardy said once when he was going to Putney. he took a taxi whose number was 1729 and said that this number was very dull and boring. On that Mathematical Genius, Srinivasa Ramanujan said. “No, it is a very interesting number; it is the smallest number which is the sum of two cubes in two different ways.”
The two different ways are:
1729 = 13 + 123 = 93 + 103
He has sone tremendous contributions in the world of mathematics.read more
