God also feel happiest when their kids are together and happy (Results of God’s creativity). I mean

And on the particular day they cook rice in the courtyard of their houses as the

· He gave a meaning to eulerian second integralfor all values of n (negative, positive and
fractional). He proved that the integral of xn-1 e-7= ¡ (gamma) is true for all values of
gamma.
· Fermat Theorem: He also did considerable work on the unresolved Fermat theorem,
which states that a prime number of the form 4m+1 is the sum of two squares.
· Cubic Equations and Quadratic Equation:Ramanujam was shown how to solve cubic
equations in 1902 and he went on to find his own method to solve the quadratic. The
following year, not knowing that the quintic could not be solved by radicals, he tried (and of
course failed) to solve the quintic.
· Euler’s constant : By 1904 Ramanujam had began to undertake deep research. He
investigated the series (1/n) and calculatedEuler’s constant to 15 decimal places.
· Hypo geometric series: He worked hypo geometric series, and investigated relations
between integrals and series. He was to discover later that he had been studying elliptic
functions. Ramanujan’s own works on partial sums and products of hyper-geometric series
have led to major development in the topic.
· Ramanujan worked out the Riemann series, the elliptic integrals hyper geometric series
and functions equations of the zeta functions on the other hand he had only a vague idea of
what constitutes a mathematical proof. Despite many brilliant results, some of his theorems
on prime numbers were completely wrong.
