This book offers a unique account on the life and works of Srinivasa Ramanujan—often hailed as the greatest “natural” mathematical genius. Sharing valuable insights into the many stages of Ramanujan’s life, this book provides glimpses into his prolific research on highly composite numbers, partitions, continued fractions, mock theta functions, arithmetic, and hypergeometric functions which led the author to discover a new summation theorem. It also includes the list of Ramanujan’s collected papers, letters and other material present at the Wren Library, Trinity College in Cambridge, UK. This book is a valuable resource for all readers interested in Ramanujan’s life, work and indelible contributions to mathematics.
“The author deserves our praise for bringing out a very interesting account of the life and work of Ramanujan, truly a Swayambu. Along with the author, let us hope that this work will inspire many to carry on the tradition in the field of mathematics.” (Sita Sundar Ram, zbMATH 1481.01001, 2022)
“Srinivasa Rao’s treatise is partly autobiographical, with many interesting personal reflections. … Srinivasa Rao’s book can be read by a general audience. Even those familiar with Ramanujan’s life and his mathematics will find something new and interesting. … This is an unusual, idiosyncratic book that can be read in spurts. For those desiring to learn more about Ramanujan, this book can serve as an inspiration to do so.” (Bruce Berndt, MAA Reviews, October 3, 2021)
