Sreenivasa Ramanujan is undoubtedly one of the greatest mathematical geniuses, this world has ever seen. A natural genius has given vast mathematical works in his very short span of life time and many of his theorems still remain clueless because of its direct results without proofs.

ReplyDeletee was a genius of all times. Stars don't twinkle for long. He was blessed.
ReplyDeleteStrange that his genius and contributions are not extolled far and wide.
ReplyDeleteI will continue from where he stopped
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! Thank you for sharing. I'm amazed his handwriting is so beautiful. I'm guessing he used some type of dip pen with a flex nib. Dip pens were always and still are more affordable than fountain pens. Ball point pens didn't exist at that time.
