The discovery of the `Lost' Notebook of Ramanujan by Prof. George
E. Andrews, in the spring of 1976, in the estate of late Prof.
G.N. Watson, contributed to a resurgence of interest in the life
and work of Ramanujan. This `Lost' Notebook contained some 600
theorems on what Ramanujan called as `mock' theta functions. These
are results he noted on about 100 loose sheets of paper, during
the last year of his life, after his return to India, in March
1919. Prof. Berndt and Prof. Andrews are at present editing this
`Lost' Notebook.
