Ramanujan



Ramanujan has been described as a person with a somewhat shy and quiet disposition, a dignified man with pleasant manners.

In mathematics, there is a distinction between having an insight and having a proof. Ramanujan's talent suggested a plethora of formulae that could then be investigated in depth later. It is said that Ramanujan's discoveries are unusually rich and that there is often more in it than what initially meets the eye. As a by-product, new directions of research were opened up.
