Komala Tammal
 His father was working as a clerk
in a Saree Shop.

His Mother was a House-Wife.

He Started his Primary School Education

at his Place in 1892.
He Started his Higher Secondary School
Education in 1898.

He used to solving a problem in various

methods and finding the Solution at last.

He played with Mathematics.

Ramanujan Married a 9 years old girl named
Janaki Ammal when he was 13 years old

He read the entire book on Advanced

Trigonometry written by S.L.Loney

He developed his own method and principles of

Trigonometry at the age of 13.
 Ramanujan worked as a clerk
in the accounts department at first.

He met Deputy Collector V. Rama Swamy

who was struggling a lot to develop
Mathematics, and asked for a Job.

He sent him to R. Ramachandra Rao,

the Secretary of the
Indian Mathematical Society.
 He was introduced to a few British Mathematicians
through Ramachandra Rao

Among them, a few leading Mathematicians like

M. J. M. Hill pointed out the mistakes in the
research of Ramanujan.

After a few days, the English Mathematicians

like G . H. Hardy and J. E. Little-wood invited
him to work together in the Mathematical analysis.
With the interest towards Mathematics,
Ramanujan started research
through Hardy and Littlewood at
Cambridge University of London.

In the city of London, only Western food is

available and the non-veg lovers are
mostly seen.
As a Ramanujan was a Brahmin,
he did not like that food.
 Moreover, he suffered poor health. Having
no other option, he used to cook the food on
his own and eat it.

He developed over 3000 Theorems

with Hardy and Littlewood.
 Works of Ramanujan
He developed several basic principles such as …

Number Theory

Continued Polynomials
Fractions
 Works of Ramanujan
Properties
Sum of Series
of Prime

Highly
Composite
Numbers
 Works of Ramanujan
Analogues
of Gamma
Functions
And surprisingly,
even now,
nobody found the
solution for
Elliptical few theories
Integrals proposed by
Ramanujan.
In March 1919, He left London
and returned to his
native place.

Because, there, the weather

worsened
the health of Ramanujan.
Once when G.H.Hardy visited Ramanujan in a car with
the number 1729, he saw that
the number was small and so, it looked dull.
 Ramanujan explained the greatness of that number. He said that it
was the smallest number that could be expressed by the sum of two
cubes in two Different ways .

Later, 1729 has been remarked as

a taxi - cab number.
Srinivasa Ramanujan Iyengar breathed his last on
26th April 1920.
