Discover the incredible life and achievements of Srinivasa Ramanujan, the greatest mathematician in history. Born in 1887 in Erode, India, Ramanujan made groundbreaking contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. Despite little formal training, his intuitive grasp of complex mathematical concepts astonished established mathematicians.
In this video, we explore Ramanujan's early life, his journey to Cambridge University, and his remarkable collaboration with G.H. Hardy. Learn about the famous Ramanujan-Hardy number 1729 and the profound impact of his work, which continues to inspire mathematicians today.
Join us as we delve into the mysterious notebooks filled with thousands of theorems that Ramanujan compiled. Uncover the legacy of this mathematical genius whose insights into partition functions and mock theta functions have paved the way for modern mathematical research.
Whether you're a math enthusiast or just curious about this legendary figure, our video offers a comprehensive look at why Srinivasa Ramanujan is celebrated as one of the greatest minds in the history of mathematics.

They were fine talking about Ramanujan, but then it went off into a metaphysical supernatural direction, which has nothing to do with many of the world’s greatest minds. To say that Steve Jobs envisioned the iPhone in a daydream doesn’t mean he was tapped into a supernatural realm. That’s called imagination and we all have done it. And while Ramanujan had a freakish mind for math, so did people like Tesla, Euler, Gauss, Erdös, and Archimedes who also left volumes for future generations to decipher.

The greatest mathematician the sun has ever seen, along with Euler. Unsurpassed aptitude, unbeatable cerebral capacity, unmatched processing speed, unparalleled mathematical depth... Ramanujan was the upper boundary of human comprehension. Innate, immutable talent... He is the definition of unearthly intelligence.

Ramanujan was a perfect mad man. We define a PERFECT mad man as the person who can drive other people mad while he remains the same and sane. When you say I have added toooooo many positive whole numbers and got a negative answer people will say ...OK we understood where you belong....but when Ramanujan says I have added all the positive integers and got a NEGETIVE FRACTION people say yeah you got it right. Definitely Ramanujan got those people mad !!!

Anyone can be genius just be brilliant in maths😎😎 Ramanujan is normal indian mathematician who studied maths at extreme levels took it to research method
-
he had no formal education and yet he produced his work, is that not a miracle?
-
Sir Ramanujan 😊👍
-
Surprising that Leonard Euler was not even mentioned.
-
Imagine what the world would be like if everyone had something as significant to offer? Amazing.
-
How can I get some of this akashic stuff?
-
Not even half way through couldn't deal with the stupid music - but if you insist (cannot imagine why you want to dilute your fascinating presentation with hypnotic music) why not try some Satie which would be good music - music that was designed NOT to be listened too
-
He had a massive head by the looks of it
-
Most of mathematics belongs to europe , few comparable to G.w. leibnez, Gauss and for background kant , R. Descartes

I’m not even able to calculate the volume of my dunce cap .

2:28 Huh? Pi is transcendental.

I am 90. Ramanunjan was just born at the wrong place and wrong time. All my friends are dead. (AND ENEMIES). I was kicked out of Lahore in 1947 because I am a HINDU) Been married to the same woman for 66 years. My experience with her? She gave me heaven on earth. No need to die. Did better than Bezos, Bill Gates and thousands more So figure out? What is success? Steve Jobs had a daughter. Read her story. I currently, live ine USA. Did everything my heart desired at 15 years of age. Just sharing an experience. Not boasting. The PM of Pakistan has been married 6 times. Scared of Putin, Trump. Know this Hindu sacred books are called VEDAS. Meaning knowledge. No preaching intended. One way to find heaven without dying. Advice is completely FREE.

The narrator sounds like david atenenberough

5:28 Steve Jobs ?

1729.

Nice video, but whilst Ramanujan is definitely a top-tiered (pure) mathematician, IMO...a comparison with other 'applied' scientists such as Newton, Einstein & Tesla is a bit off balance. Make no mistake that he was a rare type of genius, but I'm not sure how much of his legacy has applicability to say modern Physics, Engineering & even Chemistry (Newton's 2nd specialty)....only time will tell....🤔
