Mathematics

Mathematics is the study of numbers, equations, functions, and geometric shapes and their relationships. It is the foundation of all sciences and includes branches like arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and calculus. Srinivasa Ramanujan was an Indian mathematician and autodidact who made extraordinary contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions despite having almost no formal training. He independently compiled nearly 3,900 mathematical results during his short life and worked with the English mathematician G. H. Hardy after his skills became known in Europe.

MATHEMATICIAN
Srinivasa Ramanujan
Srinivasa RamanujanFRS(22 December 1887 26 April 1920) was
an Indian mathematician andautodidact. Though he had almost no
formal training inpure mathematics, he made extraordinary
contributions tomathematical analysis,number theory,infinite series,
andcontinued fractions. Ramanujan initially developed his own
mathematical research in isolation; it was quickly recognized by Indian
mathematicians. When his skills became obvious and known to the
wider mathematical community, centered in Europe at the time, he
began a famous partnership with the English mathematician
G. H. Hardy. The Cambridge professor realized that Ramanujan had
rediscovered previously known theorems in addition to producing new
ones.
During his short life, Ramanujan independently compiled nearly 3,900
results (mostlyidentitiesandequations).[1]Nearly all his claims have
now been proven correct, although some were already known.[2]His
original and highly unconventional results, such as theRamanujan
