Ramanujan, Srinivasa
Born Dec. 22, 1887, in Erode, southern India; died Apr. 26, 1920, near Madras. Indian mathematician. Although Ramanujan lacked any special mathematical training, he obtained remarkable results in number theory. His most significant study, written with G. Hardy, was on the asymptotic behavior of the function p(n)—the number of ways the number n can be written as a sum of positive terms. REFERENCELevin, V.

Seshadri has been the recipient of many prestigious awards in the past, including: -- Srinivasa Ramanujam Medal of Indian National Science Academy in 1985 -- Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize in 1972 -- Srinivasa Ramanujan Birth Centenary Award (1995-96) of Indian Science Congress Association (ISCA) -- G M Modi Science Award in 1995 -- Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Medal in 1995 -- National Research Professorship of the Ministry of Human Resource Development Government of India in 2006 and many more. Given that A Disappearing Number (currently playing at the Barbican in London) involves the early 20th-century Cambridge mathematician GH Hardy, and an Indian mathematician he tutored, Srinivasa Ramanujan, they thought they would call on the services of a real live mathematician for their games, so they rang Marcus du Sautoy, a professor of mathematics at Oxford, and began their pitch. |
