The Ramanujan Society

Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887–1920) was a self-taught Indian mathematician. He is recognized as one of the greatest natural geniuses in history.

With almost no formal university training, Ramanujan changed the world of mathematics forever. He discovered nearly 3,900 independent equations, identities, and formulas. His brilliant insights completely transformed number theory, infinite series, and mock theta functions. Today, his work is still used to understand the physics of black holes.
