Srinivasa Ramanujan was born on
December 22, 1887 in Sarangapani Street, Kumbakonam to Srinivasan and Komalam
in Erode. His parents had three children born to him and died within a year or
two. Ramanujan was born without the ability to speak for three years.
Ramanujan's father and paternal grandfather worked as clerks in clothing
stores. His maternal grandfather also served as Amina at the Erode Municipal
Council. So he was in a simple family, in a state of poverty. The shop where
Ramanujam's maternal grandfather worked moved to Kanchipuram in 1891 and his
family came to Kanchipuram. Ramanujan started his primary education in 1892 at
a primary school in Kanchipuram. His family moved to Kumbakonam in 1894, just
days after he was transferred to Telugu education. There he attended Kalyanam
Primary School.
By the age of ten, the boy's
mathematical ability and memory were a mystery to the teachers. He got a
half-salary scholarship at Kumbakonam Town High School as he was first in the
district in the final examination of the primary school. In 1897 he was
admitted to the sixth class of Kumbakonam Nagar High School. From that year he
began to study mathematics regularly. At the age of 12, Loney borrowed a
textbook on trigonometry from a neighbour in college. The only surprise for the
college student was that the student, who was 7 or 8 years younger than
himself, not only finished the college textbook in one reading but also
finished all the accounts on his own. Despite its title of trigonometry, there
are some advanced mathematical topics in the book, such as those about
continuous processes in analytics, exponential function, logarithm of a complex
variable, and hyperbolic functions. Infinite series and products (infinite
series and products) All the high-quality subjects of mathematics were taken
into the subject.
Named the Basic Theorem of Pure
Mathematics, the book gained an indelible place in history as it came into the
life of the boy Ramanujan. The content of the book attracted him as such, and
all his powers were usurped. Even so, owning one is still beyond the reach of
the average person. There were about 6000 theorems in it. Half do not have
proper installations. The existing ones were also imperfect. For Ramanujan, all
this was an inevitable, yet tasty, challenge. For each theorem in it, the boy
wrote down in a notebook the installations that appeared in his brain. New
theories began to emerge for him in this study. Wrote everything. Thus, at the
age of 16, he became a mathematician. But it took another ten years for the
world to see him as a mathematician.
The fact that he does not have a
quality book is like a game of fate. Whittaker's ‘Modern Analysis’ had just
arrived in the world but had not reached Kumbakonam. It was then that
Bromwich's Infinite Series, Corsla's Fourier Series and Integrals, Bearpoint's
Theory of Functions of a Real Variable, and Gypsy's Calculus were written. Even
today, there are differing opinions among mathematicians as to whether the
history of the mathematical world would have changed if Ramanujan had had all
these. An algorist is a mathematician who can infiltrate mathematical codes
effectively and come out with success. All three are referred to as accountants
in the history of mathematics. It is natural for an accountant to calculate and
solve new mathematical problems. The tactics he employs will be unconventional
as before.
Merely magnifying it to the point
where it seems to make the problem even more difficult depending on the
dependencies on the variables, and end up doing what rare geniuses cannot do.
Pure mathematics must fly in the sky in the course of their intuition,
regardless of the constraints of convergence, existence, etc., and shed light on
the darker parts of the problem. Although he sometimes went wrong, the light he
showed would pave new paths for other mathematicians and lead to mathematical
progress, and history will tell. The genius accountant of India was Srinivasa
Ramanujan. The other two accountants are Leonard Euler and Carl Gustav Jacobi.
But for both of them, the full strength of a college education was a deep
foundation. Ramanujan was left without the opportunity to attend a formal
college. He became a great mathematician before anyone could edit and teach
him. He should be called ‘uneducated’ compared to Euler or Jacobi, or any
mathematician. He is a self-taught genius.
In the 18th and 19th centuries,
he had much to say to all the mathematicians in the world without having to
tackle any of the world's math maths layer by layer. It is a deliciously
thrilling mathematical history of his sudden appearance as a star in the
twentieth century when his research ideas were formally staged in many of the
world's most prestigious universities. In particular, it brought great pride to
the Indian nation. In December 1903 he passed the first class in the
matriculation examination of the University of Chennai. Due to that Kumbakonam
Government College F.A. Subramaniam received a stipend for the class (11th,
12th this time). The subjects he had to learn were English, mathematics,
anatomy, Roman Greek history, and the vernacular. But it was mathematics that
swallowed up his time and energy.
He failed the exam except in
mathematics. He lost the scholarship. Leaving Kumbakonam, he lost himself
somewhere in Andhra Pradesh and wandered around. He returned to Kumbakonam
Government College a year later. However, he could not write the December 1905
examination due to the non-availability of the attendance certificate required for
the examination. Kumbakonam College lost him as well. He later studied at
Pachaiyappa College. Here he learned mathematics from SB Singaravelu et al. The
two will discuss and find answers together. SB Singaravelu was one of the Chennai
disciples of Mudaliar Swami Vivekananda. It is the custom of Swami Vivekananda
to affectionately call him 'Kidi'. Even today, the SB Singaravelu Mudaliar
Prize is given annually to the first place students in Mathematics at
Pachaiyappa College, Chennai.
When he had to return to
Kumbakonam due to ill health, he gave his notebooks to his classmate and asked
him to give them to Singaravelu Mudaliar or Edward B. Ross or Madras Christian
College if he died. But his ‘notebooks’ did not lose him. He was the first
librarian at the University of Chennai. R. Ranganathan wrote, “It was as if a
torch had inspired him from within. Mathematical studies were insatiable and
unavoidable for him. The nostalgia of not even being able to pass the F.A. exam
did nothing to stimulate his mathematics. Coming to the ring without work did
not diminish the quality or quantity of his studies. Circumstances, economics,
and social prestige did not matter to him.
All that Ramanujam had in mind
was Magic Squares, Continued Fractions, Prime and Composite Numbers, Number
Partitions, Elliptic Integrals, Hypersensitive series (hypergeometric series),
And other similar high-quality mathematical objects. He wrote all his findings
on these in his three notebooks. Installations are probably not written. Copies
of these notebooks (consisting of 212, 352, 33 pages) are currently being
published in collaboration with the Tata Basic Research Institute, the
University of Chennai and the Sir Thorapji Tata Foundation. From 1985 to 2005,
five books were published with detailed notes by Bruce Burnt. Bruce Brunt says
that there are 3542 theorems in them and that more than 2000 theorems are
unknown to the mathematical world before he lived.
Srinivasa Ramanujan grabbed
Janaki, who was nine years old at the age of 22. In 1910 he heard about the
Indian Mathematical Society. It was only three years ago that Prof. V.K. It was
started by Ramaswamy Iyer. Ramanujan sought his help and fled to Tirukovilur.
In 1911, Ramanujan's first research paper was published in the Journal of the
Indian Mathematical Society. Meanwhile, Sir Francis Spring, the head of the
Chennai port office, heard about Ramanuja and began to inquire about him. The
news that a clerk in the post office was making achievements in mathematics
began to be widely talked about in Chennai academies. From May 1, 1913, Ramanujan was employed as a researcher at the University of Chennai with a
salary of Rs.75 per month. This research was his career starting on and ending
his short life.
The four years (1914–1918) with
Hardy at Cambridge were golden years not only for Ramanujan but also for
Professor Hardy. This is what Hardy says. Later, after Ramanujan died
unexpectedly at the age of 32, when Hardy told him about ‘what book he had read
before coming here. I could not tell if I had seen the books yesterday or not.
Maybe something I would have said if I had asked. But every day when I say good
morning to him he is ready to show me five new theories so I have no chance to
talk about anything else.
In 1918 F.R.S. (Fellow of the
Royal Society). He was also elected a Fellow of Trinity College the same year.
He was the first Indian to receive both these honours. The subconscious facts he
discovered are being used today at the highest levels in many fields, from basic
physics to telecommunications engineering. Tamil Nadu mathematician Srinivasa
Ramanujan passed away on April 26, 1920, at the age of 32 in Chennai. The
Ramanujan Journal, a mathematical journal, was started in 1997 under the name
Ramanujan. December 22 is celebrated every year as National Mathematical Day
for the contribution of the Indian mathematician and mathematician Srinivasa
Ramanujan to the field of mathematics. 2012 has been declared the National Year
of Mathematics.
