Srinivasa Ramanujan is, arguably, the greatest mathematician that India has produced. His story is quite unusual:
although he had no formal education inmathematics, he taught himself, and managed to produce many important new
results. With the support of the English number theorist G. H. Hardy, Ramanujan received a scholarship to go to
England and study mathematics. He died very young, at the age of 32, leaving behind three notebooks containing
almost 3000 theorems, virtually all without proof. G. H. Hardy and others strongly urged that notebooks be edited
and published, and the result is this series of books.
