- Why Does Ramanujan, "The Man Who Knew Infinity," Matter?
Lecture by Professor Ken Ono, Emory University
Srinivasa Ramanujan, one of the most inspirational figures in the history of mathematics, was a poor gifted mathematician from lush south India who left behind three shabby notebooks that engineers, mathematicians, and physicists continue to mine today.
Born in 1887, Ramanujan was a two-time college dropout. He could have easily been lost to the world, a thought that scientists cannot begin to absorb. He died in 1920.
Ono will explain why Ramanujan matters today, and will share several clips from the film, “The Man Who Knew Infinity,” starring Dev Patel and Jeremy Irons.
Professor Ono served as an associate producer and mathematical consultant for the film.
The lecture is sponsored by New College, the Department of Mathematics, the Department of Physics & Astronomy, and University Libraries.
Many people outside of india is watching this movie and talking about it but you will find many people in our country India from the same mathematics stream do not know about this legend
ramanujan is a genius
Prof Ken doesn't get enough credit for his incredible works in every field that he's in...
Great presentation by a genius about a genius
Good lecture and a very good research on Ramanujan that you have done Prof. Ono.
Thanks for bringing to light the life and times of the great genius.
Its indeed very astonishing and incredible teaching and researched you had shared here Professor Ken 🙏 Thank you so much.. 🤓💯 I did learn so much important lecture about The Greatness of Ramanujan and his magnificent mind that beyond belief to understand. Despite the tragic of his life Ramanujan indeed " The Great Mathematician " in the world that had lived among us.
We should indeed search the world for the next Ramanujan
