Srinivasa Ramanujan Biography Born: December 22‚ 1887 Died: April 26‚ 1920 Achievements: Ramanujan independently discovered results of Gauss‚ Kummer and others on hypergeometric series. Ramanujan’s own work on partial sums and products of hypergeometric series have led to major development in the topic. His most famous work was on the number p(n) of partitions of an integer n into summands. Srinivasa Ramanujan was a mathematician par excellence. He is widely believed to be the greatest mathematician

stories in the history of mathematics: in 1913‚ the English mathematician G. H. Hardy received a strange letter from an unknown clerk in Madras‚ India. The ten-page letter contained about 120 statements of theorems on infinite series‚ improper integrals‚ continued fractions‚ and number theory (Here is a .dvi file with a sample of these results). Every prominent mathematician gets letters from cranks‚ and at first glance Hardy no doubt put this letter in that class. But something about the formulas

one was quite sure if Ramanujan was a real genius or a crank. With the encouragement of friends‚ he wrote to mathematicians in Cambridge seeking validation of his work. Twice he wrote with no response; on the third try‚ he found Hardy. One remarkable result of the Hardy-Ramanujan collaboration was a formula for the number p(n) of partitions of a number n. A partition of a positive integer n is just an expression for n as a sum of positive integers‚ regardless of order. Thus p(4) = 5

H.G. Wells When H.G. Wells said‚ “I want to go ahead of Father Time with a scythe of my own‚” he might have used this as an inspiration for The Time Machine‚ but it seems to be that it was more of an influential statement. H.G. Wells included predictions for the future as well as personal beliefs in his novels. For example‚ Wells put scientific theorems into both novels that seemed futuristic at the time. Also‚ he describes his characters with a certain biased view‚ providing a stereotypical outlook
