Who doesn’t know Srinivas Ramanujan, ad we all know why he is being recognized not only in his country but across the world.

Former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh declarer 22nd December as national Mathematics day on the occasion of his Birth Anniversary. Ramanujan the man who knew infinity never received any formal education in Mathematics still had the potential to contribute his things to the world.
Srinivasa Ramanujan’s journey to being a genius started when he sent a letter to a Professor where he mentioned about 120 mathematical theorems. He joined the Trinity College a few months before World War 1 started. In 1916 Ramanujan was awarded the Bachelor of Science degree. In 1917, he was elected to the London Mathematical Society. In 1918 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society for his research on Elliptic Functions and theory of numbers. The same year in October he became the first Indian to be elected a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.
In 1919, he returned to India due to his poor health and a year later, on April 26, 1920, he breathed his last at the age of 32.
Following are some of the lesser known facts about him :
- At the age of 13, Ramanujan used to solve Loney’s Trigonometry exercises. And to amaze, he used to solve the exercises without any help.
- He was a genius in mathematics but failed to get a degree because he didn’t qualify for the exams in other subjects.
- Ramanujan was honoured as the Fellow of the Royal Society in 1918. He was the second Indian who made it to the Royal Society.
