Some inspiring, interesting, entertaining and thoughtful statements of the famous Indian mathematician Srinivas Ramanujan

Famous Indian mathematician Srinivas Ramanujam died on 26 April 1920. He was born on 22 December 1887 in Erode, Tamil Nadu. Srinivasa Ramanujan had almost no formal training, yet he made significant contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions, including solutions to mathematical problems that had not been solved up to that time.

Ramanujan initially developed his mathematical research in isolation. According to Hans Eysenck, he tried to get prominent professional mathematicians interested in his work, but most of the times failed. What they had to show was very new, but also very unfamiliar, and presented in additionally unusual ways. In 1913 he studied under English mathematician G.H. Began a postal correspondence with Hardy. Recognizing Ramanujan's work as extraordinary, Hardy arranged for him to travel to Cambridge. In his notes, Hardy commented that Ramanujan had formulated unprecedented new theorems, including some that completely defeated me. I had never seen anything like them before and included some recently proven but highly advanced results. Here are some inspirational, interesting, entertaining and thoughtful statements of Ramanujan.

Without mathematics, you can't do anything. Everything around you is mathematics. Everyone around you has some number.

I haven't gone through a traditional university course, but I'm looking for a new path for myself. I have made a special investigation of differential series in general, and the results I have obtained have been called astonishing by present-day mathematicians.

I had an unusual experience while sleeping. As if a red curtain had been formed from the flowing blood. I was observing it. Suddenly a hand started writing on the screen. Everyone's attention was attracted. That hand wrote many elliptical integrals. They stuck to my mind. As soon as I woke up, I committed to writing them.

To keep my mind safe I want food and now it is my first thought. Any sympathetic letter from you will be helpful to me in getting scholarship here.
