My respectful tributes to the man who knew infinity, #SrinivasaRamanujan, on his birth anniversary. His legacy encompasses groundbreaking contributions spanning diverse mathematical fields.
Despite never receiving any formal training, Ramanujan's enigmatic mock theta functions revolutionized mathematical analysis, while his work on highly composite numbers and partition functions unlocked new arenas in number theory.
His profound contributions to infinite series, such as Ramanujan's series for pi, revealed previously unimagined connections between constants and series.
His pioneering investigations earned him admiration as “a genius of his time”. Despite his premature departure in 1920 at the age of 32, Ramanujan's legacy endures, leaving an indelible mark on the world of mathematics.
