Synopsis
Srinivasa Ramanujan's achievements in research made him perhaps the greatest Indian mathematician of modern times. By the time he was 12 years old he had worked through a copy of Loney's "Trigonometry". At the age of 16 he verified over 6,000 formulae in Carr's "Synopsis of Pure Mathematics". By the time he was married at 21 he had already obtained several results in the areas of elliptic integrals, hypergeometric series and divergent series. In 1918 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society and a Fellow of Trinity College, but died shortly thereafter. This new edition of the tribute to the great mathematician includes a short biography by Professor S. Raghavan of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Bombay and Profesor G.H. Hardy's paper "Mr S. Ramanujan's Mathematical Work in England".
