Srinivasa Ramanujan is, arguably, the greatest mathematician that India has produced. His story is quite unusual: although he had no formal education inmathematics, he taught himself, and managed to produce many important new results. With the support of the English number theorist G. H. Hardy, Ramanujan received a scholarship to go to England and study mathematics. He died very young, at the age of 32, leaving behind three notebooks containing almost 3000 theorems, virtually all without proof. G. H. Hardy and others strongly urged that notebooks be edited and published, and the result is this series of books. This volume dealswith Chapters 1-9 of Book II; each theorem is either proved, or a reference to a proof is given.

THE MATHEMATICAL FACE OF GOD,
By Dhruv Shangari (Burnaby, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ramanujan's Notebooks: Part I (Hardcover)
This book is an absolute jewel and personifies mathematical beauty. I would recommend this book for anybody who has some experience in analytic number theory and analysis.
Srinivas Ramanujan Aiyanger was definitely India's greatest mathematician and the greatest all time in terms of pur mathematical genius. Hailing from a small village in India, he never even recieved university education and yet discovered independently results of Gauss, Euler and other mathematical greats while still in his teenage years. Had it not been for his untimely death at the tender age of 32, there is no doubt he would have become the greatest of all time.
