Ramanujan, the brilliant twentieth Century Indian mathematician,
has been compared will all-time greats Euler, Gauss and Jacobi,
for his natural mathematical genius. Despite his short life-span
of 32 years, 4 months, and 4 days, ( Dec. 22, 1887 to April 26,
1920 ), Ramanujan left behind an incredibly vast and formidable
amount of original work, which has greatly influenced the development
and growth of some of the best research work in mathematics.
This
web site includes a presentation of Ramanujan's life (with photographs),
scanned images of his original Notebooks and Collected papers, biographies
and other relevant material such as excepts of interviews of experts.
Since
the publication of the Collected papers and the Notebooks of Ramanujan,
research papers have continued to appear in international jounals
of repute and a large body of literature, including books, has evolved
on Ramanujan's mathematical work. This web site will enable the
reader to begin his/her exploration of the Life and Work of Ramanujan.
Th
major sections of this web site are identified by icons linked to
the main home page. Within each section, there are pages, the arrows
(left/right, top/bottom) can be used to move to the pages adjacent
to the current page. Clicking on the Ramanujan (face) icon takes
the user to the home page from any page.
