<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>This book offers a unique account on the life and works of Srinivasa Ramanujan--often hailed as the greatest "natural" mathematical genius. Sharing valuable insights into the many stages of Ramanujan's life, this book provides glimpses into his prolific research on highly composite numbers, partitions, continued fractions, mock theta functions, arithmetic, and hypergeometric functions which led the author to discover a new summation theorem. It also includes the list of Ramanujan's collected papers, letters and other material present at the Wren Library, Trinity College in Cambridge, UK. This book is a valuable resource for all readers interested in Ramanujan's life, work and indelible contributions to mathematics.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>K. SRINIVASA RAO is the Director (Honorary) of the Srinivasa Ramanujan Academy of Maths Talent (SRAMT), Chennai, India. Earlier, he served as Senior Professor of the Institute of Mathematical Sciences (IMSc), Chennai, India, which he joined in 1964 as a research trainee with an M.Sc. (Physics) from the University of Madras, India. Professor Rao completed his Ph.D. in Theoretical Nuclear Physics at the IMSc, Chennai, India, in 1972, under the supervision of Prof. Alladi Ramakrishnan. His research areas include quantum theory of angular momentum, special functions and orthogonal polynomials, group theory, numerical analysis and computational physics. Professor Rao's research papers have been published in various national and international journals of repute.
