Ramanujan was literally self-educated and he came up with some superb formulas and more. I would say that among the recent 500 years of geniuses Ramanujan definitely deserves a place. That said, computer science of today use many of Ramanujan's formulas because they not only are brilliant, but computers love them with only a few tweaks. What is that? A guy, from India, self-taught in math, provided results that benefits all of the globe today (with just some small tweaks), isn't that GREAT? I am amazed, to say the least.

Euler, Gauss, Ramanujan, Jacobi are the true geniuses who spit out concepts after concepts and formulas that are the basic of every math today. Black holes are now being explained by Ramanujan’s mock theta functions discovered by him 80+ years ago, while on his deathbed and wanted to share it right away via a letter to Hardy because he knew it was so important to share. This is quite unexplainable how he could have seen the importance of mock theta functions that early. I do not recall any science genius or even any prominent scientist of having written down a piece of complex math that was applicable to an application that would only be discovered so far into the future. Basically, Ramanujan had the math ready to be put to use to explain a physical discovery that happened way into his future? This is superhuman. No other mathematician ,past or present , was this superhuman. It is quite unexplainable and bizarre actually.

The structure of Benzene which had evaded scientists was revealed to Kekule in a dream. God does miracles thru his chosen subjects . No one can explain how a simple Indian from those days who had no mathematical background in university could solve so many theorems, even attempted to solve Fermat's last theorem, thus came up with the magic number 1729 as the smallest number that can be expressed as sum of two cubes in two different ways...simply amazing

One of the reasons for genius of ramanujan was his food.. What food we eat determines what we are... Food influences our mind , body even our behaviour , our character... Our inteligence , our thinking .... Animal flesh , egg will have negative influence on our thinking, (which means not giving high level thinking which means we cannot think broader as well as deeper , if we eat non veg we can able to think little deeper but not clearer ) Gives Negative to our intelligence growth, (lower intelligence) Gives negative to our behaviour and character( anger, hatred, lust , desire, ego, selfish which are all negative or dark) Gives the bad karma which is action/reaction which means you do killing and cause pain , then you will get pain frim others Ramanujan was vegetarian.... Thats why he doesnt have the bad karma of killing and eating animals.... Thats why gods love energy/light can easily getdown in his consciousness... If we eat non veg , we are making our karma darker and thicker that it becomes very very difficult for god energy to enter into us.. If you are vegetarian its enough...... dont need to be vegan ...

Then you can use 1000*355/113 in your formulas or calculations to represent PI and there will be no loss of precision because 355/113 approximates PI with about 7 digits precision.

looking forward to the next video since I don't know how math is going to be controversial :)

Maybe something related to 1 + 2 + 3 + ... = - 1/12

+WatchingTokyo No, the document he sent to Cambridge had already deduced that. So it unlikely Grime would use that, plus it has already been done a thousand and one times.

+twertygo If you want to see controversy you just need to check the comment section of some of Numberphile's videos, like 1+2+3+ ... = -1/12, problems with zero, infinity paradoxes.

+IceNoob88 But it's all just logical and makes sense!

+twertygo Then jump into some math forum and ask if √4 = +2 or -2, or just the +2 ;) (On second thought: _don't_ :P )

Hilbert was a normal human who made sense. Godel was a guy who was rational. Einstein was a regular man who understood logic. Euler was a reasonable husband and father. Galois was a talented bachelor. Ramanujan.. Compared to them, he was like an insane alien genius who must have obtained non-finite intuition from spiritual beings. Screw what Hardy said about him being 100 and Hilbert being an 80, they are all 1's and he's still at the limit of 100 on that scale. We can't figure out where he was because nothing he figured out was anywhere near normal. Go look at his work for yourself. It was strange and different. It wasn't even proofs or restricted to logic systems. He had crazy intuition results and approximations which are insanely accurate yet not precisely the function, so all the more curious how he developed them.

He was a genius with a great intuition similar to the likes of Gauss but I think it was the lack of formal training and the lack of guidance in formal research which contributed towards his early work being more based on intuitions.
