Topic: My favorite mathematician. 

Srinivasa Ramanujan is one of the world's most prominent mathematicians ever.


Moreover, this man, from a poor Indian family, rose to conspicuousness in the field of
math.
Taking about early life of Ramanujan, he was born in Erode which is a little city in the
province of Tamil Nadu, India. Ramanujan showed what him can do as a capable
understudy and did well in all of his school subjects. The book which roused him was
'Abstract of Rudimentary Outcomes in Unadulterated Arithmetic's by G. S. Carr.
Ramanujan exhibited that he had an outstanding natural handle of mathematics at a
very young age. He began developing his theories in mathematics and published his
very first research paper in 1911.
Ramanujan acquired a grant in view of his exceptional presentation in his examinations.
Subsequently, he was a brilliant student at during his college days. Additionally, his
interest and enthusiasm for math continued to develop.
Srinivas Ramanujan is well known for his revelations that have affected a few areas of
science. Besides, he is popular for his contributions to number theory and infinite series.
This series forms the basis of many algorithms that we use today. He gave several
fascinating formulas to calculate the digits of pi in many unconventional ways.
Srinivas Ramanujan found that the number 1729 had an exceptional characteristic.
Furthermore, this number 1729 is the only number which can be expressed as the sum
of the cubes of two different sets of numbers.
1729 is known as the Ramanujan number. It is the sum of the cubes of two numbers 10
and 9. For instance, 1729 results from adding 1000 (the cube of 10) and 729 (the cube
of 9). This is the smallest number that can be expressed in two different ways as it is the
sum of these two cubes. Therefore, people call 1729 the magic number.
Ramanujan accumulated around 3,900 outcomes comprising of equations and
identities.
