Actually Ramanujan dedicated his mathematical contribution to his ishta devi( local deity/goddess of that area) Mahalakshmi of Namakkal. He claimed that it was her who showed him glimpses of mathematical equations in dreams. That's why Ramanujan also said that an equation which doesn't represent the idea of God isn't worth it.

@@vaibhavyadav9912 Yeah if you look at most mathematical great thinkers they were also philosophers and mystics. That's were we get the Indo-Arabic number system from mostly Sufi philosophers and Hindu Philsophers. Also Pythagoras spent time learning in Egypt (some also say babylon) like most greek philosophers, that's were the hermetic tradition of philosophy comes from and great greek philosophers also spent time in Egypt, like Plato, and egypt had to have some pretty great math to build pyramids which stand till this day, so that's probably were Pythagoras got the theorem which we attribute to him. And the figure of Pythagoras is riddled with mysteries, some historians even think he wasn't even a person because he was considered to be a leader of an order (kinda like freemasonry but greek lol) so Pythagoras might be a group of people under an initiatic name. I've talked about Plato and he also was a mystic and he made some math with the Platonic solids etc... If you look closely at for example the middle ages university course it was composed of the trivium (logic rhetoric and grammar) and the quadrivium (geometry, arithmetic, harmonics/music and astronomy) and as hermetic philosophy was pretty significant they would have a type of knowledge called "Sacred knowledge" (because the hermetics believed "As Above so Below" so we humans are made in the image of god, and the methods we use to measure the earth can be used to experience divinity) so they would have things like Sacred Geometry, Sacred Astronomy (astrology the like) etc... Going more modern, Newton was a christian, he was obsessed with rebuilding the temple of solomon and studied closely the measures of the temple described in the bible (sacred geometry), he also was apperently into kabbalah and more mystical things, and he was working on a second book on philosphy while doing his book on math. All this to say that math probably has some mystic origins on some guys who would go into deep meditation and come out with some cool numbers which described the universe, which is quite indicative of the way Pythagoras thought, that numbers were gods and holy in and of themselves.

I was intrigued when I heard your comment that it is no longer taught in college courses.

Although the use of electronic calculators were allowed but we were taught about the use of these tables of mathematical functions also.

While he may have got his early education from this little volume, I suspect he went much further in his reading and studies before he wrote Hardy his famous letter.

When Hardy & Littlewood received that first incredible letter from Ramanujan they were astonished not only at it's brilliance (the theorems were created either by a conman or a true genius!), but at the complete lack of proofs for the theorems. This lay in the fact that Carr's book was really nothing more than a large, disparate collection of theorems with little or no proofs. Also, Ramanujan seemed to be entirely deficient in his knowledge of Real or Complex Analysis; again, which related back to Carr, or indeed, even the concept of a proof! What is astonishing about Ramanujan is were on earth did he get his strange "mathematical poems" from? He claimed it was from the Goddess Namagiri, but surely that belittles himself but also humanity in general for being able to produce such true unadorned genius. The big question which forever remains, and is as true of Mozart - what would they have produced if they had lived beyond their criminally short life spans? We shall never know! Much effort has been spent over the ensuing 100 years to prove some of his most intractable theorems, with the mathematician Bela Bollobas probably spending too much time on the task. There was even a journal which specialised in analysing & developing his theorems, but I think that journal folded!

i recently published a very brief biography of Ramanujan on Medium (not a plug). One of the things that struck me is that, outside of the Mathematics World, he's not well known. I learned of him through reading about the Interesting Number paradox and the reference mentioned his conversation with Hardy about the Taxi Cab Number. Amongst the tragedies of his life (other than his death at just 32 from complications of tuberculosis) that, because he could only access older books (Carr's book was half a century out of date when he was given it), he often expended a lot of time and effort proving things that had already been proven or going down blind alleys that others had thoroughly explored decades before. Coming to the notice of the Indian Mathematical Society certainly seems to have helped him , even if one of the founders, Ramachandra Rao, did describe him as "uncouth and not overly clean, with one conspicuous feature, shining eyes" (bear in mind that this is from someone who liked him and helped him to find work and mentors). This led to working along side people with ties to English universities who shared his work with their own mentors and eventually led to him sending his work to Hardy. Ramanujan seemed very focused on mathematics to the exclusion of all else, this lead to him losing two university places in his teens because, whilst he aced the mathematics exams, he barely studied for the other subjects. Reading between the lines of what I could find on him, I did wonder if he was neurodiverse (I'm neurodiverse myself). That total focus on one topic and becoming expert is a classic feature of many neurodiversities, as is high intelligence.

You don't just pick up a serious textbook with zero foundation and just manage to crank through it successfully. Ramanujan must've gotten a solid mathematical foundation from a great teacher, no one can convince me otherwise. No one is born with knowledge. Raw intelligence, does not equal knowledge, it's only useful if some means of initial rudimentary teaching gets the ball rolling first. This teacher can very well be some super didactic text, rather than an actual human teacher, but textbooks of high math/science, are definitely not great teachers for the complete beginner. He had another teacher who got the ball rolling first, I'm convinced of it.

A friend sent me a link to a vid about Ramanujan. I laughed because as far as I knew at the time, there was no method to his genius. What is there to imitate, but this anecdotal history?! So I watched it anyway. I am glad I did. As far as Ramanujan himself was concerned, his mathematical I sights were gleaned from dreams and visions associated with his devotion to the Goddess, Namagiri Laxshmi, the consort of Vishnu the Preserver. In contrast, most modern mathematics is developed in the service of Shiva, the Destroyer. Or perhaps the demons in his entourage. Ballistic trajectories and atomic physics being what they are. Not that this is intentional, just inevitable. As a devotee of Shiva I have no interest in contributing to the construction of offensive weapons of mass destruction. Shiva himself being a devotee of Vishnu and Brahma the Creator, his destructive power is not about greed or empire, but the balance of life and creation. I have always thought of maths as a contemplation of the world, and yoga has taught me how to concentrate without writing every detail down. While the world itself is thoroughly corrupt even to the foundations of academia itself, spiritual devotion is the key to Ramanujan's mathematical vision. We stand to benefit by his example, if we are interested at all in his perspective and not just his incredible results. Thanks for the video!

What are we to make of Ramanujan's claim that mathematical ideas were sent to him in his sleep by the Goddess? That was the conventional wisdom of his time and place (19th century Madras), when the concept of the unconscious mind had not yet become part of popular culture. Other great and not so great thinkers have had the experience of sleeping on a problem and waking with a solution, or working it out during a dream. Depending on your world-view (or religion) you can explain it as a gift from the gods, a infusion from the collective unconscious or the product of your own mind. Mathematical reasoning during sleep fits better with J F Herbart's ideas of different perceptions combining with existing ideas to become strong enough to break through into conscious awareness than Freud's and Jung's schemata.

The problem with ramanujan is that the difficulty of mathematics is giving proofs. He did not know how to prove anything and actually he was not suited to do rigorous work. I don't understand why people know this guy instead of Lebesgue, Federer or Allard.

Sir, this book looks like some Indian authored book. No explanation Just results and diagrams. It's like they say it true and we students have to figure out why it is true ,some times it feels really good when we find out the reason, when we couldn't it is frustrating because no hint/help is available .
@idjles2 жыл бұрын
This book has no proofs. So that makes sense for Ramanujan to also not focus on proofs, but just on amazing results. It meant Ramanujan could intuit his own "proofs" in his own spectacular and mysterious way.

I thought it was called Cardano's method (named after the 16th century Italian mathematician). Or is "Cardan" the anglicised version of "Cardano"?
@faithlesshound56212 жыл бұрын
He published all of his books in Latin as "Hieronymus Cardanus." In those days it was customary to translate other European people's names into whatever language the writer was using. So famous people would be known by a different name in each country. We see this in old legal and church records in England: a clerk recording court proceedings in Latin would convert an Englishman's name into its Latin equivalent. From another time you might see French translations of common English first names.

I am an Indian and I have become a fan of you really and I am a teen I would like to suggest a book review of 'Class 11th mathematics Of NCERT'. This is an Indian maths government textbook and it is the most basic book in our country for starting with differentiation. After that you can give a book review of class 12 NCERT maths textbooks part 1 and 2, that introduce basics of calculus to Indian students in School
