Ramanujan was born on December 22, 1887, in Erode, Tamil Nadu. He showed an extraordinary talent for mathematics from a very young age. Largely self-taught, he developed deep insights into complex mathematical theories without formal training, relying on his intuition and a few borrowed books. His father, Kuppuswamy Srinivas Iyengar, originally from Thanjavur district.
Srinivasa Ramanujan, often referred to as the man who “knew infinity,” was one of the greatest mathematical geniuses in history. He was an Indian mathematician who worked during the early 20th century. He made crucial contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series and continued fractions, including solutions to mathematical problems then considered unsolvable. Throughout his life, Ramanujan independently compiled nearly 3,900 results, mostly identities and equations. On his 106th death anniversary, take a look at his contributions in Mathematics and to the country.
