Math formula gives new glimpse into the magical mind of Ramanujan

December 22 marks the 125th anniversary of the birth of Srinivasa Ramanujan, an Indian mathematician renowned for somehow intuiting extraordinary numerical patterns and connections without the use of proofs or modern mathematical tools. A devout Hindu, Ramanujan said that his findings were divine, revealed to him in dreams by the goddess Namagiri.

Ramanujan's genius finally proven by scientist

A US scientist has finally proven the mathematical relation - discussed by great Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan with his mentor G.H. Hardy in one of his last letters.
Mr. Ramanujan, the young genius who died at the age of 32, often managed to leap from insight to insight without formally proving the logical steps in between.

Srnivasa Aiyangar Ramanujan FRS, better known as Srinivasa Iyengar Ramanujan (22 December 1887 - 26 April 1920) was a Indian mathematician and autodidact who, with almost no formal training in pure mathematics, made extraordinary contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series and continued fractions. Ramanujan's talent was said by the English mathematician G.H. Hardy to be in the same league as legendary mathematicians such as Gauss, Euler, Cauchy, Newton and Archimedes and he is widely regarded as one of the towering geniuses in mathematics.
