Hello friends how are you. Today in this new post of Great Scientists i tell you about Sir Shrinivas Ramanujan. If you like this post please post 1 comment in comment box.. So let start.....
The great Indian scientist who gained name and frame as a mathematician, was born a on December 22, 1887, in a small village named Erode, bear kumbakonam in Tanjore district of Tamil Nadu. His father kuppuswamy Srinivas lyengar belonged to a poor, conservative Brahmin family. He worked as a small-time clerk with a local business man. His mother komalatammawas courteous and religious.
Ramanujan was admitted to the local primary school. The most intelligent boy in the class, his mastery over mathematics was unmatched. He could do mental calculation very quickly. Ramanujan was a child prodigy. Sometimes his questions would even put his teacher in a difficult situation. After school hours when other children would be playing, he could be playing, he would be busy with his slate and chalk.

| Srinivas Ramanujan |
In November 1897, at the age of 10, he stood first in the primary school examination in the Tanjore district. This paved his way for a free education at the kunbakonam High School. In high school too, he stood first in all the mathematics examination and received many awards. This impressed his teachers.
In Ramanujan's neighbourhood lived in a collage boy. Ramanujan ones asked him for his mathematics textbook. The boy gave the book but wondered why a school student needed a collage book. Later, he was surprised to know that the Ramanujan had solved all the sums in the book. Then onwards, whenever he faced difficulty in mathematics he could consult Ramanujan. Now, he also go other mathematics books for Ramanujan from collage. By 13, Ramayan had read a book on trigonometry from the library. He proved the unsolve theorems given in the book, in his notebook. When he was 15, he obtain the copy of George Shoobridge Carr's synopsis of Elementary results in pure and Applied Mathematics, two volumes (1880-86). This collection of some 6,000 theorems aroused his genius. Having verified the results I'm Carr's book, Ramanujan went beyond it, developing his own theorems and idea.
In 1906 at the the age of 16 he appeared for the matriculation examination. He scored a first class in Mathematics and was award scholarship. The join the goverment college.
In college he was engrossed in mathematics and ignored other subjects. His scholarship was discontinued.
His father was worried about Ramanujan's obsession with mathematics. To make him aware of his responsibilities he was married at the age of 22. His wife Janki was age nine. Since 1903, Ramanujan had started nothing down mathematical work in his notebook. By 1910, he had filled two thick books with his mathematical research
He took those notebook and approached P Ramaswamy Iyer, the founder of the Indian Mathematical Society. Ramaswamy was greatly impressed on seeing this book. He gave him a letter addressed to the professor of mathematics of the Presidency collage in Chennai (Madras). To his good luck, the professor had earlier taught at his collage He immediately recognized Ramanujan age gave him a recommendation letter addressed to Rama Rao,the collector of Nellore. Dur to his personal interest in mathematics, the collector ensured that Ramanujan got a job at Accountant General's office in chennai. Sometime later, he get a job of Chennai post Trust. His monthly salary of Rs 30 improved his economic condition to some extent.
Whenever he got time from office he wrote research articles. This articles were published in Indian Mathematical Society magazine. This made him famous in the mathematics circle of chennai. soon some professors and educationalists became aware if his work and brilliance. With their recommedation he was awared from 1 may, 1913, a monthly scholarship of Ru 75 from chennai university to continue his research in mathematics. At this time he did not have any university degree. On the advice of well-wishers he decided to seek the guidance of some great mathematician. In those days, England was considered the center of mathematics. Ramanujan sent his 120 theorens and formule to renowned mathematician prof Godfrey H. Hardy, a fellow of the Trinity collage of Cambridge university. After he had gone through these notebooks received by post he talked about them to his colleague Prof Little wood. They realized the brilliance if the author of these notebooks. Soon as exchange of letters began between Hardy and Ramanujan. Hardy made a arrangement for Ramanujan to visit England. In the meantime, Prof E H Neville from cambridge university came on a visit to chennai university. Hardy had asked him to meet Ramanujan and convince him to come to England.
Chennai university agreed to grant Ramanujan and annual scholarship of 250 pound for two years. Hardy had taken the responsibility of Ramanujan's travel and stay in England. However, his parents objected to his decision. For a boy coming from an Orthodox vaishnavite, crossing the seas did not have the religious sanction. Finally, after being convinced by his well-wishes, Ramaanuja's parents allow him to go abord. He reached England on April 17, 1914. Thereafter, under the guidance of Hardy and Littlewood. Ramanujan undertook systematic study and research. Meanwhile, the World War I broke out. With Littlewood having to go to the battlefront, Hardy looks after hi and guide him.
With the onset of winter, Ramanujan found it difficult to withstand the harsh cold of England. Since he was an Orthodox Brahmin and strict vegetarin he cooked his own food. He felt lonely too. Hardy saw in him a brilliant mathematician. Only due to his care and concern was Ramanujan able to stay in England for five years. Hardy had became his true friends, guide and philosopher. Sometime later Hardy wrote a letter to chennai univrrsity stating that Ramanujan was indeed a great India mathematician and he had never met such a genius. Armfter receiving his letter of appreciation, chennai university extended Ramanujan's scholarship from tow years to five years till March 1990. Only a matriculate, Ramanujan wad conferred the BA degree in 1960.

He stayed in England, 25 of his research papers were published. This had made him popular in the world of mathematics. Ramanujan was considered on of the greatest mathematician of that time. In October 1980, London's royal society made him a fellow. He was the second Indian to recive this honour.
In 1917, Ramanujan fell ill and was admitted in a hospital. Initially, the disease was diagnosed as TB, but later it was believe to be due to lack of proper nutrition of deficiency of vitamins. Presuming that the dry wether of chennai would suit him, the doctors advice him to retuen to India Finally in March, 1919, he returned to India. Despite being treated by friends and well wishers, he met with an untimely death within a year on April 26, 1920 at kumbakonam. A bright star set suddenly on the horizon. He was only 32 years on then.
In 1988, Cambridge University and Trinity collage decided to grant a yearly pension of £ 2000 to Janaki Amma, the window of this world famous mathematician. It was decided to grant this pension of this research work at the university, service's he rendered to the institute and his research contribution to the world of mathematics.
