Today’s Mathematician

Srinivasa Ramanujan

(Indian mathematician)

Ramanujan was born in his grandmother’s house in Erode, a small village about 400 km southwest of Madras.
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.
By 1904 Ramanujan had begun to undertake deep research. He investigated the series ∑(¹/_n) and calculated Euler‘s constant to 15 decimal places. He began to study the Bernoulli numbers, although this was entirely his own independent discovery.
On 16 March 1916 Ramanujan graduated from Cambridge with a Bachelor of Science by Research (the degree was called a Ph.D. from 1920). He had been allowed to enrol in June 1914 despite not having the proper qualifications. Ramanujan’s dissertation was on Highly composite numbers and consisted of seven of his papers published in England.
