ABSTRACT

In this lecture, we discuss the life of India’s greatest mathematician, Srinivasa Ramanujan, his (earlier) notebooks, and his lost notebook.
Most of the lecture can be understood by a general audience. Here is an outline.

Ramanujan’s Life

History of Ramanujan’s Notebooks

My Interest in Ramanujan and His Notebooks

Examples from Ramanujan’s Notebooks

History of Ramanujan’s Lost Notebook

Examples from Ramanujan’s Lost Notebook

And, a Tribute from Subramani of IIIT-B

To the magical numbers PI and R (1729), Subramani found a C, which does the magic below:

C × R gives the first 10 digits of PI in the beginning

181699979940000775697922631813697037 * 1729 = 314159265316261341181708230405882176973

C/ R gives the first 10 digits of PI at the end

181699979940000775697922631813697037 / 1729 = 105089635592828673046803141592653

Subramani has an algorithm for this also
