RAMANUJAN - WORLD'S BEST MATHEMATICIAN IS AN INDIAN
I believe this Post will be very useful and interesting and exciting too. Atleast read the first half of this simple post.
I read this in the book "The Indian Clerk" which is on the life of Srinivasa Ramanujan, one of the greatest Mathematicians the world has ever seen. In an interview, G.H Hardy, his patron and the famous mathematician, was asked what his greatest contribution to mathematics was, Hardy unhesitatingly replied that it was the discovery of Ramanujan. He called their collaboration "the one romantic incident in my life." Hardy remarked that Ramanujan was perhaps the greatest mathematician in the last 500 years.
LOOK AT THIS PASSAGE WHERE THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY WAS EXPLAINED IN PHILOSOPHICAL SENSE BY RAMANUJAN:
Justifying his earlier sense of himself as an intruder, Hardy rifles through them : mathematics mostly, relating to the work they're doing right now on composites and primes. And yet there is one sheet that surprises and tempts him as much as Alice's diary did. The heading is 'Theory of Reality'. He reads it twice.
THEORY OF RELATIVITY
0 = the Absolute, The Nirguna-Brahman, the reality to which no qualities can be attributed, which can never be defined or described in words. (Negation of all attributes.)
∞ = the totality of all possible attributes, Saguna-Brahman, and therefore is inexhaustible.
0 X ∞ = the set of finite numbers.
Each act of creation is a particular product of 0 and ∞, from which a particular individual emerges. Thus each individual may be symbolized by the particular finite number that is the product in his case.
Hardy blinks. The hand-writing is Ramanujan's. The neat, fine strokes are unmistakable. He recalls receiving Ramanujan's first letter, the bewilderment he felt when he encountered the equation 1+2+3+4+...... = - 1/12.So is what he's reading now just another example of Ramanujan's peculair shorthand? Or perhaps the ideas that Ramanujan is tryiing to express are philosophical rather than mathematical...
THERE ARE STILL THEOREMS WITH NO PROOFS OF RAMANUJAN (STILL UNABLE TO FIND THE PROOFS). Many of his theorems are proved after great struggle. Such an intelligent he is.
I was stunned to read this, Albert Einstein almost reached this end through Physics but i hadnt heard that Ramanujan reached it through Maths.
Most of this information given by my friend soorya.
He met deputy collector V. Ramaswami Iyer, who had recently founded the Indian Mathematical Society. Ramanujan, wishing for a job at the revenue department where Iyer worked, showed him his mathematics notebooks. As Iyer later recalled:
"I was struck by the extraordinary mathematical results contained in it [the notebooks]. I had no mind to smother his genius by an appointment in the lowest rungs of the revenue department."
For his life History please visit wikipedia. search on google with keyword Ramanujan and the first page appears is wikipedia.
WE SHOULD SALUTE HIM FOR HIS WORKS.
