WHY RAMANUJAN WAS A SUPER GENIUS (K.A. 41)

SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN,...THE WORLDS GREATEST MATHMATICIAN OF ALL TIME
Discover the incredible life and achievements of Srinivasa Ramanujan, the greatest mathematician in history. Born in 1887 in Erode, India, Ramanujan made groundbreaking contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. Despite little formal training, his intuitive grasp of complex mathematical concepts astonished established mathematicians.
In this video, we explore Ramanujan's early life, his journey to Cambridge University, and his remarkable collaboration with G.H. Hardy. Learn about the famous Ramanujan-Hardy number 1729 and the profound impact of his work, which continues to inspire mathematicians today.
Join us as we delve into the mysterious notebooks filled with thousands of theorems that Ramanujan compiled. Uncover the legacy of this mathematical genius whose insights into partition functions and mock theta functions have paved the way for modern mathematical research.

They were fine talking about Ramanujan, but then it went off into a metaphysical supernatural direction, which has nothing to do with many of the world’s greatest minds. To say that Steve Jobs envisioned the iPhone in a daydream doesn’t mean he was tapped into a supernatural realm. That’s called imagination and we all have done it. And while Ramanujan had a freakish mind for math, so did people like Tesla, Euler, Gauss, Erdös, and Archimedes who also left volumes for future generations to decipher.

Walter, Well said. I subscribed when I heard the guy's description of the channel's aims -- and unsubscribed seven minutes in, when he wandered off into spiritualistic nonsense.

Kind of like the people who post these videos, I'll just poke it with a fucking stick until a response is achieved

[@timirbiswas3834]

Ramanujan was a perfect mad man. We define a PERFECT mad man as the person who can drive other people mad while he remains the same and sane. When you say I have added toooooo many positive whole numbers and got a negative answer people will say ...OK we understood where you belong....but when Ramanujan says I have added all the positive integers and got a NEGETIVE FRACTION people say yeah you got it right. Definitely Ramanujan got those people mad !!!

I made the mistake of reading your entire comment

[@bookashkin]

2:28 Huh? Pi is transcendental.

[@Vishal_Singh0]

Sir Ramanujan 😊👍

[@JxH]

1729.

[@Mike-wc1ns]

Imagine what the world would be like if everyone had something as significant to offer? Amazing.

[@walterpoelzing9765]

Everyone does. One just has to find one's place in the universe where what one is can flourish.

I’m not even able to calculate the volume of my dunce cap .

[@JxH]

My dunce cap has the shape of Gabriel's horn (also called Torricelli's trumpet). My cap can hold 1.0L of paint (finite volume), but would require infinite paint to cover the inner surface (infinite surface area). A very strange hat it is.

Ha! AI

[@MadScientyst]

Nice video, but whilst Ramanujan is definitely a top-tiered (pure) mathematician, IMO...a comparison with other 'applied' scientists such as Newton, Einstein & Tesla is a bit off balance. Make no mistake that he was a rare type of genius, but I'm not sure how much of his legacy has applicability to say modern Physics, Engineering & even Chemistry (Newton's 2nd specialty)....only time will tell....🤔

[@walterpoelzing9765]

Time will tell.

[@jeroensoenen4054]

But not beyond Euler.

[@timirbiswas3834]

It is very tough to judge among these big guns. Everyone has worked on their chosen or loved branches of Math. I am a Math teacher and I love plane geometry the most. I can solve very tough questions on geometry and have a huge urge to solve an unknown problem....but I don't feel the same in algebra, number theory etc...as I can't visualize them.

What Euler did in his 20s. Ramanujan died at age of 32 and had no formal mathematical education.

[@walterpoelzing9765]

@@amitkumarsharma9511 Good point. Euler had a much faster track to the ideas that would show his greatness. Still Ramanujin was able to conqueror and expand number theory in a way..... that these geniuses would nod their head to an equal. Definitely on the same footing.

[@premaseem8914]

Subscribe having no better Eng knowledge 😂

[@calicoesblue4703]

Nice 😎👍💯💯💯

[@FloydMaxwell]

Certainly similar to Tesla. Whereas Newton was just a very very very hard worker, with a singular focus his entire life. And Einstein is just way overrated -- others (Poincare, etc) came out with relativity before him, and he needed help from David Hilbert (& others), and....relativity is a home in the clouds -- nothing new has been built with it.

[@SurprisedDivingBoard-vu9rz]

Because he drank only milk and blood. Okay sometimes curd.

[@walterpoelzing9765]

Well I will say this comment is someone ignorant. Ramanujan was a vegetarian and a healthy body most certainly allows for a HEALTHY MIND.
