TNN
Srinivasa Ramanujan, the
mathematical genius, came to be recognized only posthumously for his incredible contribution to the world of Mathematics. Leaving this world at the young age of 32,
Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920) contributed a great deal to
mathematics that only a few could overtake in their lifetime.
Born in Erode (Tamil Nadu),
Ramanujan demonstrated that he had an exceptional intuitive grasp of mathematics at a very young age. He began developing his theories in mathematics and published his first paper in 1911. Infact, he was the
second Indian to be included as a Fellow of the Royal Society 9a fellowship of the world’s most respected and famous scientists) in 1918.
