Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887–1920): The Centenary of a Remarkable Mathematician

This month marks the centenary of the death of one of the most remarkable mathematicians of the 20th century. The enigmatic Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan was perhaps one of the most original mathematicians of all time. In a career that only lasted around ten years, he produced hundreds of highly innovative results in several areas of pure mathematics, particularly number theory and analysis. After his death, his notebooks and unpublished results inspired decades of research by succeeding mathematicians, the impact of which is still being felt in mathematics today. What follows is based in large part on the work of these scholars, particularly G.H. Hardy [1,2], George Andrews [3], Bruce Berndt [3–5] and Ramanujan’s biographer, Robert Kanigel [6].

Srinivasa Ramanujan was born to a modest Brahmin family on 22 December 1887 in the town of Erode in Tamil Nadu, southern India. Due to his father’s heavy work schedule, the boy formed a close relationship with his mother, and it was from h
