More on Srinivasa Ramanujan
This incredibly brilliant Indian mathematician, working alone in relative obscurity and lacking the usual academic credentials, could easily have passed unnoticed. However, with the help of a handful of friends and the ultimate support of renowned English mathematician G.H. Hardy, his work was brought to the attention of the world. When he died in 1920 at 32 he had become a folk-hero in his own country. He left a rich lode of original mathematics, which is still being mined today.- Harold D. Shane, Baruch Coll., CUNY

- I actually went to school with a similar mathematics genius from India who gave me an early understanding of trig, long before the school actually touched on it. I wander where the chap is now. It is always inspiring to read about people like this.
