| → He was an Indian Mathematician → He made large contributions to Mathematical Analysis, Number Theory etc. → He was said to be natural genius by G.H Hardy, a well known English Mathematician → He born at Erode, Madras Presidency ( Now in Tamil Nadu ), in a Tamil Brahmin Family → G.H Hardy Invited Ramanujan to visit and work with him at Cambridge University → He died at the age of 32, because of his illness, liver infection → During his lifetime, he discovered more than around 3000 results including equations → Government of India declared that, 22 December is National Mathematics Day → In India, 2012 celebrated as National Year of Mathematics → His father's name is K. Srinivasa Iyengar → His mother's name is Komalatammal → His family home is now serve as a Museum → He mastered in Book, " Advanced Trignometry " written by S. L Loney by the age of 13 → The famous Ramanujan - Hardy number is 1729 → History behind 1729 : In Hardy's words ⇒ " I remember once going to see him when he was ill at Putney. I had ridden in taxi cab number 1729, and remarked that the number seemed to me rather a dull one, and that I hoped it was not an unfavourable omen. " No, ", he replied, " It is a very interesting number, it is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways. " The two different ways are 1729 = 13 + 123 = 93 + 103 → 1729, also known as one of the Taxicab Number ( In mathematics, nth taxicab number denoted as Ta(n). In the case of 1729, Ta( 2 ) = 13 + 123 = 93 + 103 = 1729 Ta( 1 ) = 2 = 13 + 13 → The smallest number that can be expressed as a sum of 2 positive algebraic cubes in n distinct ways = Taxicab Number → Taxicab concept was first mentioned by Bernard Frenicle de Bessy in 1657 → His well known contributions are : Ramanujan's Sum : Mock Theta Functions : Ramanujan Constant : Ramanujan Conjecture : Ramanujan's Master Theorem : Ramanujan Prime | |
