Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920) was one of India’s greatest mathematical figures. He was a child prodigy‚ with a natural instinct for mathematics. As though he could see how everything comes together. He was particularly interested in modular functions and number theory. This essay is divided into two sections. In the first section I will report on Ramanujan’s life. I have decided to take a unique approach‚ and instead of reporting solely based on biographies (and biographies about Ramanujan are a-plenty)
