Srinivasa Ramanujan was born in 1887 at Erode in Tamil Nadu, then Madras Presidency, and he displayed remarkable talent even when in junior school. By the time he was 13, he had mastered SL Loney's Trigonometry, a fairly advanced standard textbook of mathematics, one that is normally completed only in university. When he was 16, he chanced upon a collection of problems, and theory in ontime, which had been developed for aspirants to the Tripos Examination of the University of Cambridge. The collection of advanced and difficult problems opened the universe of number theory and higher algebra for Ramanujan.

Abstract


Srinivasa Ramanujan was born in 1887 at Erode in Tamil Nadu, then Madras Presidency, and he displayed remarkable talent even when in junior school. By the time he was 13, he had mastered SL Loney's Trigonometry, a fairly advanced standard textbook of mathematics, one that is normally completed only in university. When he was 16, he chanced upon a collection of problems, and theory in ontime, which had been developed for aspirants to the Tripos Examination of the University of Cambridge. The collection of advanced and difficult problems opened the universe of number theory and higher algebra for Ramanujan.
