    Sandeep Sagar
    Srinivasa Ramanujan was one of India's greatest mathematical geniuses. He was born in a small village in India and showed strong mathematical abilities from a young age, developing his own methods for solving complex mathematical problems. Ramanujan made substantial contributions to analytical number theory, elliptic functions, and infinite series. However, he faced many obstacles in his education and had to largely develop his mathematical genius on his own without institutional support.

    SRINIVASA RAMANUJAM BIOGRAPHY

    Srinivasa Ramanujan was one of India's greatest mathematical geniuses. He made


    substantial contributions to the analytical theory of numbers and worked on elliptic
    functions, continued fractions, and infinite series. Ramanujan was born in his
    grandmother's house in Erode, a small village about 400 km southwest of Madras.
    When Ramanujan was a year old his mother took him to the town of Kumbakonam,
    about 160 km nearer Madras. His father worked in Kumbakonam as a clerk in a cloth
    merchant's shop. In December 1889 he contracted smallpox. When he was nearly five
    years old, Ramanujan entered the primary school in Kumbakonam although he would
    attend several different primary schools before entering the Town High School in
    Kumbakonam in January 1898. At the Town High School, Ramanujan was to do well
    in all his school subjects and showed himself an able all round scholar. In 1900 he
    began to work on his own on mathematics summing geometric and arithmetic series.
    Ramanujan was shown how to solve cubic equations in 1902 and he went on to find
    his own method to solve the quarticIn 1906 Ramanujan went to Madras where he
    entered Pachaiyappa's College. His aim was to pass the First Arts examination which
    would allow him to be admitted to the University of Madras. He attended lectures at
    Pachaiyappa's College but became ill after three months study. He took the First Arts
    examination after having left the course. He passed in mathematics but failed all his
    other subjects and therefore failed the examination. This meant that he could not
    enter the University of Madras. In the following years he worked on mathematics
    developing his own ideas without any help and without any real idea of the then
    current research topics other than that provided by Carr's book.
