Mathematician of india ramanujan biography

Srinivasa Ramanujan, an Indian mathematician, was born Dec. 22, 1887.  Born into a Brahmin family with little means, living south of Madras in southern India, Ramanujan did well enough in school, until he discovered mathematics, which soon captured all his attention.  He began to neglect all other subjects except math, to the detriment of his schooling, where he soon lost scholarships, as he failed all exams except mathematical ones.  His interest lay in number theory and equations, and such topics as infinite series and prime numbers.  Despite his setbacks at school, he received encouragement from teachers and early employers, for he was clearly a mathematical genius.

His mother arranged a marriage for him in 1909; his bride was only 10 years old and did not move in with Ramanujan until later.  Some of his patrons found him a job in 1912 as a clerk at the Port of Madras, where he could do the required accounting work quickly and had time for his mathematical pursuits.  He had discove

Had he emerged in a city of advanced learning from a family of noted mathematicians his accomplishments would still have been stunning, but he was born into a poor family of no notable professional attainments in a part of the world where hardly anyone could understand even the nature of his talents. The obstacles to his achieving his goal of becoming a professional mathematician were by reasonable assessment insurmountable. Yet he did, and people around the world still marvel at attainments of Srinavasa Ramanujan.

Ramanujan was born on December 22, 1887 in Erode, a minor city in Madras State (now Tamil Nadu) in South India. His father was a clerk in a fabric store. The family was Brahmin and Ramanujan's maternal grandfather was a minor official in a local court. Thus the family was poor but socially respectable. Ramanujan was born in that grandfather's house in Erode. Soon after his birth his mother and father moved with him to a house in the town of Kumbakonam and Ramanujan grew up there.

The family name Ramanujan means person who contains a particle of the god Rama. The personal name Srinivasa roughly means Prosperous, more literally one who abides in wealth.

Ramanujan's family sometimes took in student boarders and it was through these that Ramanujan was firs
