based on biographies (and biographies about Ramanujan are a-plenty) I will be analyzing letters he wrote. These letters have been stored in the National Archives in Delhi‚ the Archives of the State of Tamil Nadu‚ and in collections of various mathematicians with whom Ramanujan corresponded. They were compiled by Bruce Berndt and Robert Rankin in their book Ramanujan‚ Letters and Commentary. I believe these letters will give me a “first source” not only pertaining to Ramanujan’s life but also a more

the great mathematicians of the golden age of Greek mathematics. Apollonius‚ known as "the great geometer‚" arrived at the properties of the conic sections purely by geometry. His descriptions were so complete that he would have had little to learn about conic sections from our modern analytical geometry except for the improved modern notation. He did not‚ however‚ describe the properties of conic sections algebraically as we do today. It would take almost 2000 years before mathematicians would make
