There are many mathematical geniuses in history. They come from all over the world, but most of them are from developed countries. There are very few who are actually born in , the third world, (, Asia, Africa, Latin ).
mathematical geniuses are all great
Srinivasa Ramanujan is a mathematical genius from Asia. Ramanujan was born in India. She lived only 33 years old, but she left behind 3900 strange formulas, which are an important magic weapon for decrypting black holes.
genius childhood
Ramanujan was born in 1887. At this time, India was still a colony of British . Indian people suffered inhumane exploitation, their lives were not guaranteed, and their education level was quite backward.
What’s amazing is that this mathematical genius grew up in such an environment, Ramanujan has never received systematic knowledge theory teaching .
Ramanujan
For Ramanujan, all formulas are derived based on their own intuition, and later generations have proved that these derivations are often correct.
Although Ramanujan was born in the colony, belongs to the Brahman caste , and has the highest status among Indians.
Therefore, when Ramanujan was 10 years old, he entered a local elementary school, while other children of the same age had already started farm work.
When I was in school, Ramanujan showed his super talent level . Ramanujan's math scores have always ranked first in school. Ramanujan, who is not satisfied with elementary school mathematics, began to study high school mathematics by himself.
Ramanujan When he was a child
Later, Ramanujan felt that high mathematics was too simple, so he started to ask his tenants in his home.
Ramanujan's tenant is an college student who is studying mathematics. At the age of 13, Ramanujan had fully mastered the knowledge of advanced trigonometric function , and often went to the library to borrow books about mathematics knowledge.
However, it is precisely because of Ramanujan's love for mathematics that Ramanujan's biased nature, because Ramanujan has no time to learn other knowledge, and so in Ramanujan's theory, there is only the complex calculation formula , without any text description.
Ramanujan's formula notes
When Ramanujan was 14 years old, had already won many honors and scholarships . Even the teachers in the school often discussed math problems with Ramanujan and admired Ramanujan very much.
After going to high school, Ramanujan became more obvious in subjects, which led to basically failing other subjects in addition to mathematics, and it is difficult for the school's scholarship to fall on Ramanujan.
This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to for Ramanujan . There are many brothers and sisters in his family waiting to use money, and his parents have no time to take care of Ramanujan.
award-winning Ramanujan
During this period, Ramanujan spent the period of starvation and cold, but still did not forget to learn math knowledge.
genius journey
After graduating from high school, Ramanujan returned to his hometown. parents helped Ramanujan find a wife, and the two got married .
Since Ramanujan's wife is only 10 years old , she must spend her time in her hometown before adolescence, so Ramanujan can only find a job by .
Out of love for mathematics, Ramanujan wanted to find an accounting job. In India at that time, the education level of high school could already be preferentially treated , so Ramanujan quickly found a satisfactory job.
Ramanujan's wife
There is an British at the location where Ramanujan works. This British discovered Ramanujan's mathematical talent in his conversation with Ramanujan, and was amazed at Ramanujan, and suggested that Ramanujan should go to Cambridge University for scientific research.
Ramanujan also thinks the same way, because Ramanujan wants to devote himself to mathematical research instead of working.
So, Ramanujan found a famous Indian mathematician , and after a long talk with the mathematician, he decided that the two of them jointly published a mathematical paper internationally.
only mathematics in my mind
is nominally published together, but in fact, Ramanujan is fiddling with this paper. Unfortunately, Ramanujan's language ability is really limited. The entire paper is full of the obscure formula , which almost no one can understand. After publication, it feels like a rock sinking into the sea, which hit Ramanujan.
However, there is no way out. In 1913, Hardy, an academician of Trinity College, Cambridge University, UK, noticed Ramanujan's talent.
Hardy said, "Just look at them (Ramanujin's formula) you will know at a glance that only first-class mathematicians can write them."
Ramanujan's formula left by
Hardy happily contacted Ramanujan and expressed his wishes to accept Ramanujan to Cambridge University for joint research.
But after all, Ramanujan's family still has brothers and sisters to raise. If he leaves India, he is very irresponsible, so Ramanujan did not agree immediately.
Until one day, Ramanujan's mother claimed to be guided by God in her dream, and God said that she would not stop Ramanujan from going abroad.
For Brahman caste, God's guidance is above everything else, so Ramanuqin set off immediately, heading to the University of Cambridge, England .

Research career
It was not until after being exposed to mathematical research that Ramanujan's talent was fully revealed . The graduate students at Cambridge University admired Ramanujan with great confidence.
students find it hard to believe that Ramanujan is just a person who graduated from high school with , because Ramanujan's ability in mathematics is no less than that of Academician Hardy.
Hardy was also very happy and discovered such a genius himself.
In Ramanujan's notes, there is a calculation formula called simulated θ function . When scientists study the structure of space-time quantum , they need to use the simulation θ function.
The integral of the θ function of Ramanujan represents (partially)
. The degree of space-time distortion in the black hole is beyond imagination. When simulating the θ function, it is an irreplaceable existence when calculating black holes.
Scientists believe that simulates the θ function is the key to decrypting black holes . Only when the mathematical community completes the proof of all simulated θ functions, can humans uncover the mystery of black holes.
simulates the θ function and is quite abstract and is a very brain-burning theoretical formula in the mathematics community. Ramanujan only leaves part of the proof for later people.
It’s a pity that God is jealous of talent. suffered from various diseases when Ramanujan was the youngest.

Ramanujan dies
During his research at the University of Cambridge, Ramanujan successfully crossed the stage of study with his own talent, and became an academician of the University of Cambridge , and won the highest honor in the scientific community and a member of the Royal Society of the United Kingdom.
Koramanujin is too serious about studying . He works until midnight every time and gets up before 6 o'clock the next morning to continue research.
plus The outbreak of in World War I, lack of vegetables around the world, Ramanujan's nutrition is not guaranteed , which makes Ramanujan's health worry.

1919 Ramanujan was diagnosed with severe tuberculosis in the UK and needed to take care of her. Her colleagues advised Ramanujan to carry out scientific research after she was well maintained.
Ramanujan decided to return to India for recuperation and returned to his hometown in India that year, but the medical conditions in India were really poor.
During Ramanujan's care, relapsed due to the recurrence of disease and the invasion of tuberculosis, 920 Ramanujan died of illness in his home .
Before his death, Ramanujan discovered the Ramanujan θ function, which is Ramanujan's last gift for the world.
Ramanujan died young
Later, Ramanujan's wife moved to Mumbai and sorted out Ramanujan's notes. Although Ramanujan's wife did not understand mathematics, she got the notes in and saved in after the notes were sorted out, and it was passed down.
Ramanujan's notes have a total of three , the first 351 pages, the second 256 pages, and the third 225 pages. These three notes inspired countless papers in later generations.
However, in the notes, many formulas have only results, but no proof process , and people also spread this genius to its level.
Ramanujan's three notes
However, some historians said that in the era in which Ramanujan lived, paper was expensive, , Ramanujan wrote the process of proof on the stone slab, and precious conclusions were recorded using paper.
and so many formula processes have been lost in history, and has troubled today's scientists .
Some people also believe that Ramanujan's formula is guided by God, and even Ramanujan himself cannot prove it.
No matter what, Ramanujan's contribution to in the mathematical world is incalculable. Some people call Ramanujan the greatest genius in India in a thousand years.

The more people study Ramanujan's formula, the more they can find out where Ramanujan's genius is. Even some of the proof process of Ramanujan is jumping, which is completely incomprehensible, but it is correct!
