I was going to name him too very cool man imo@@vedantmungre1702

Srinivasa Ramanujan was a self-taught genius who made substantial contributions to mathematics. His work continues to inspire and challenge mathematicians around the world. It’s amazing how much he accomplished in his short life.. i feel proud as a Indian.
Indeed, India has a fine heritage and still produces many world class academics.
interesting thing is he never went to school because of colonial loot and scarcity. Still his interest in Mathematics developed and he achieved a great milestone in the history of mathematics.

“Unlikely”-ness 😂 is not at all ignorant or racist idea. A country that invented decimal numbers, zero, algebra, calculus, .. knew the circumference of a spherical earth 1500 years ago .. is an “unlikely” place of origin for a math genius.
This.
Should be liked more and should be top comment
Couldn't agree more👏
Let them be , ignorant can't be taught, without india they wouldn't even know how to count😂
Let others be as racist as they can. Our achievements will be our comebacks to them.
Newton was the one who invented calculus..
The world was robbed of Ramanujan's genius much too early. Had Ramanujan lived another 32 years, just imagine the additional wealth of Mathematical knowledge & insight he would have left us. It's amazing that his genius has benefited, not just Mathematica, but Physics and Science as a whole.

The Man Who Knew Infinity is a great movie for anyone who is interested in learning more

Amen! I love the movie! Show it in my high school math classes.
It is also a good book by Robert Kanigel that explains and goes more in detail of Ramanujan's life.

Great film yaar
Ramanujan's story shows why eliminating poverty and giving everyone the opportunity develop their potential (not to mention universal healthcare) is so important. We are extremely lucky he managed to share his brilliance with the world at all.
It's crazy sad to imagine now 12:59 how many untapped minds like Ramanujan's exist/existed out there in history, and never got their chances to a breakthrough, to be "discovered". Because of no support system, no way to reach out, the recipients not believing them, losing interest etc. And than you got western kids who say "oh when am I ever ganna use any of this?" "I can retake the class, who cares" 🤡🤡
And who knows what he could have accomplished had he not died so young.
@@IntrinsicPalomides He was on a crazy tear when he died, he was coming up with ground breaking formulas almost at will. If had lived a long life chances are we would be many decades ahead in many areas of mathematics compared to today.
❤absolutely CORRECT and true well said and well OBSERVED
"Ramanujan's story shows why eliminating poverty and giving everyone the opportunity develop their potential (not to mention universal healthcare) is so important. " You are drawing the opposite conclusion from what the facts show. The facts are that even the poor can achieve a lot. OTOH, Trump grew up rich and accomplished little in mathematics or elsewhere.
He was one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. And as an Indian, I can bet that there are many underground mathematics genius here in India who are still undiscovered or unknown.
definitely

"An Equation For Me Has No Meaning Unless It Expresses A Thought Of God." -Srinivasa Ramanujan

Lies again? Tushy Vigrx Plus
I was extremely amazed and impressed by one of his theorems, it seemed to be impossible at first, but it was proved just by using simple calculations and other stuff, he was a true genius, discovered such theorems no one else thought possible.
P/S: I wonder if you could make a video about John Nash Jr., I want to find out more about his life and his contributions to mathematics and economics
When I was in school each year on his birth anniversary -22 Dec we would celebrate his remarkable short and very inspiring life.
They deserve a recognition, good you made a video on him
I am deeply humbled by Srinivasa Ramanujan's tenacity and burning desire to leave our world with such a treasure trove of Mathematics despite his unpromising life and survival. He truly was a self made Math prodigy. Mr. Hardy by just being there and have his work recognized saved the world from a 1000 years or more of Mathematical deprivation.
I think ufos gave him this knowledge
Just imagine the billions of people who live in poverty today. How many of them are geniuses or potential geniuses whose light will never shine due the constraints brought about by poverty
Sadly that's true

"Great knowledge comes from the humblest of origins"
1729 hardy ramanujan number should have been a great addition I think. It was a beautiful coincidence story of how much he loved numbers, but loved to see this video of Ramanujan 👍
Fun fact : There is a reputed College in Delhi University called Ramanujan College which was officially established as a full time college in 2010
Ramanujan was probably the greatest mathematician that ever lived , considering the age at which he united with god
What maths qualifications do you have to make such a bold statement?
@@Straight_Talk His life itself is a proof that he is the best! He was not a mathematician but maths itself. Think Hard for a second. Read about his life in detail... compare it to every other mathematician who has ever lived. No one achieved what he did in his 32 years of lifetime even with his circumstances. Think about what he could have achieved in another 50 years.
@@anirudhchamoli8102 How is his life proof that he is the best? How does it prove that he is a greater mathematician than Newton, Euler, Gauss, von Neumann, and other greats. I fail to see your logic. Possibly that’s because your thinking is guided by nationalism rather than logic.
@@Straight_Talk Just because you failed to see my logic doesn't mean that whatever I wrote was out of nationalism. Newton discovered gravity at the age of 23 and continued for decades, But if you measure it upto 32 years of his life ... he was just starting, same goes for all. My logic is simple as Hardy and other professors of that time shared that ramanujan was giving theorems that couldn't be understood and discovered. They key behind my logic is that He was doing something impossible so quick and fast, he died at 32 but his contributions is compared to the greatest of science masters like newton, einstein etc. I said that he is the greatest for his fast paced achievement in he shortest time possible and that too in the worst circumstances. Moreover, Saying someone is the greatest is one's personal opinion as everyone's opinion differs so for you it might be someone else but for me the greatest mathematician will be Shrinivasa Ramanujan.
@@anirudhchamoli8102 Your post is garbled and incoherent. On the issue of contibutions at a young age, Newton discovered calculus, among other great discoveries, while in his 20s. Einstein likewise made fundamental contributions to physics, such as relativity, in his 20s.
This is an excellent presentation. Clear and complete
Let us appreciate the unsung hero here, Hardy who had an open mind and gave everyone their chance
Ramanujan is the main protagonist of this story but the real hero is Hardy.
@@dummy9517like a narrator
That's indeed true and important to take note of.
Not only Srinivas Ramanujan India has produced many great mathematician🇮🇳. And it is true that Goddess (Devi) used to explain Maths to Ramanujan in his Dream.
Ramanujan Said ~
*"An equation for me has no meaning unless it expresses a thought of God"*
India has produced extremely few great mathematicians. Over the past 500 years, at least 95% of truly great mathematicians have been Western.
@@Straight_Talk True, thats because the Indian era has long ended. Advanced calculus was already in use when Newton wasn't even born. The 9 planets (+ pluto) were already known and were worshipped daily, pythagoras theorem, the preparation of dry battery, every field of science was being mastered in India till Islamic Invasions happened and the rest is history. But whenever I say this, westerns start crying about how Indians claim everything that has been discovered.
No need to trust me... Just google it up.... and since everyone trust western source only.... there are plenty of western videos that has way way more than I have written! , not even as an Indian but as a human it feels bad that so much has been lost and so much time has been wasted in rediscovering things that had already been discovered somewhere else.
This is fake propaganda run by people who earns money from temple and politicise community or region votes in the name of religion so called hindus
@@Straight_Talkwe were busy freeing ourselves that's why. But we have discovered a lot in maths from zero, to infinity.
@@Straight_Talk😂😂 ramanjun alone is equivalent for every western mathematician from past 500 yrs
Sometimes I just wonder what if God gifted Talents like Ramanujan a longer life just how much of more would they have achieved is beyond imagination, well somewhere someone might be preparing to continue his work we never know...
But just think about our school and college syllabus
They must have doubled even if some great people like him
lived an extra 4- 5 years
But I honestly wonder how most of these great people were just born weaker and their life spans were so small
@@Nisha.lilac9 well speaking for the case of Ramanujan he could have lived a long life if he stayed in india as by going to england made his body prone to many things biologically his body wasnt immune to also as he was stirictly veg he found it hard to have a good meal which was vegetarians well alas if he stayed in india we might never talked about him anyways i guess by looking at the opportunities available in India at that time

I knew of him already but I like that at the end you highlight the importance of nurturing talent. It is so difficult as a parent sometimes to know when to let them have free slack line and when they need to be reeled in. Kind of like fishing ;-) Parenting is the most important job in the universe.
There are notes which he wrote, are still enigma for the world. Even today his papers are not being decoded by any genius on the planet. All knowledge and wisdom he got through "DEVI" goddess in his dream. Greatest mathematician ever lived. 🎉👏🙏

Greatest mathematician? Stop the cap. Say one of the greatest mathematicians. You don't know any mathematician beside ramanujan to begin with. And ramanujan worked in number theory which is one of the most useless branch of mathematics. Number theory isn't even main course in any university for math undergraduates
ரொம்ப நன்றி சார் ராமானுஜன் பற்றிய பதிவிற்கு 🙏
[Thank you so much for making video for Sir Ramanujan]
A rather sad thing is the way He's been kinda sidelined in the modern mainstream affairs of India while the Hollywood made a feature film on Him.
That's India... Dumb people with power. People like Ramanujan starving for light.
Who knows how many Ramanujans we have lost. Some bitten by Scorpios cause he couldn't afford footwear.
Some starved to death.
Some working in a restaurant because of being poor.
The light isn't falling on the people it should fall on.
He is the self taught genius. ❤ Really a God gift ❤🕉️🙏
People like him are prevalent, probably not to the point of his caliber but close (which is still super impressive) because they want to focus on that one thing that intrigues them. Yet we have a school system that wants us to diverse our expertise and subject it to a GPA and it leads to many people losing confidence and missing out on their potential. One day I hope we can combat this.
Are you as intelligent as Ramanujan.
Actually, would be you be able to work as hard as Ramanujan? Lol.
Yet people like you, probably out of laziness, has a lot of criticism about grades.
Of course, why wouldn’t you want to abolish grades/CGPA when you can laze around while other work likes dogs yet get the same recognition.

The Indian accent voice over wouldn’t have been of a Tamil speaker, such as Ramanujan. Probably a modern Hindi native speaker would have such an accent. India is rather a linguistically and ethnically diverse one cannot claim the Indian dialect of English is spoken with just one accent.
I have never heard of such a Godlike Genius who completely built himself from scratch. Too strange tl believe in this era.
I don't think it was unusual. India that is bharat has a rich history of mathematics with great mathematics contributing to it.
Hey thank you for covering him.He is India's pride.

If he could live a little longer, he would have discovered more about the universe.
His life will continue to inspire millions.

Additionally, India's mathematical heritage extends further with noteworthy contributions such as:
The Bakhshali Manuscript (circa 3rd century CE): This ancient text contains early examples of algebraic and geometric methods for solving mathematical problems.
Madhava's Infinite Series (14th century CE): Madhava, a Kerala school mathematician, developed infinite series expansions for trigonometric functions, paving the way for later developments in calculus.
Kerala School of Mathematics (14th-16th centuries CE): This school made significant contributions to the study of calculus, including methods for computing derivatives and integrals.
Aryabhata's Aryabhatiya (499 CE): This influential work contains mathematical ideas, including spherical trigonometry and the concept of π (pi).
Bhaskara I's Lilavati (12th century CE): Lilavati covers various mathematical topics, including arithmetic, algebra, and geometry, and is known for its engaging problem-solving examples.
Bhaskara II's Siddhanta Shiromani (12th century CE): This text includes sections on algebra, trigonometry, and astronomy and provides valuable insights into Indian mathematical achievements.
Indian Astronomy: India's mathematical prowess extended into astronomy, with scholars like Brahmagupta (7th century CE) contributing to the understanding of celestial movements and calculations.

People always say Brahmins are rich and oppressive and this guy could barely feed himself. The lies need to stop.
Ramanujan was dirt poor but still a practitioner of the rigid caste system which divided India over the ages & caused India to be subjugated for over a 1000 years. He was at the highest end. Imagine what it could have been living as an “untouchable” carrying the excreta of people like Ramanujan scraped off the floor on their heads? Remember, no flowing toilets. This system destroyed India & Ramanujan & still to this day, countless others. Stop gloating on this ancient stupidity & try to change for the better.
@@Gengingen The varna system in India saved it from being conquered by Islam and Christianity, and it is the reason why despite all the set backs India can produce people like Ramanujan. India never had slaves like other civilizations in its 8,000 year + history. And people don't like to admit it but "untouchablity" is the product of Buddhist and Jain thought, it has nothing to do with the vedic dharma.
If someone proposes that untouchability is the product of Buddhist and Jain thoughts, he/she, then, is requested to kindly read Vedic literature, especially Dharmasastras (Baudhayana, Vashistha, Gautama, and Manu).
A lot of research works have already been done on this issue and Indologists, historians, scholars of literature and sociologists agree to the proposition that Caste system and Untouchability are the Vedic product to Indian civilization.
However, imagine what could have actually happened if Ramanujan were a Tamil Dalit??????????????????
@@ambedkaritesofbengal790 Vedic science deals with 4 varnas only. There are those who fall outside the varna system such as foreigners, some tribal communities and the like but that is a separate matter.
Buddhism and Jainism are two darshanas which through their stance of absolute non-violence, made certain occupations such as butcher, hunter, fisherman, etc "unclean," and that laid the foundation for whole communities to become what would later be called the untouchable class.
@@calmislamly
The thesis that untouchability is based on certain dirty occupations is one of the many theories of defining this system. There are other theories, such as the theory of mixed race that violated the strict Varna order. In the later Vedic period which is the extention of Vedic teachings the Dharmasastras and Dharmasastras all composed by Brahmins became more rigid and doctrinal. In this period, especially in the Bouddhayana Dharmasutra many terms such as Antyaja, Asprishya, Antevasin were used to refer to two groups of people: many indigenous groups and people of mixed race. Therefore, the practice of untouchability in ancient India was purely a Brahminical invention.
If someone proposes that Buddhism being a doctrine of Non-violence terms different occupations and its practitioners as untouchable is untenable and unverified claim. Historians have dealt with it and they already exhausted the research by claim that Caste system and Untouchability were the Vedic, Brahminical invention.
Compared to Brahminical Varna order, Buddhist order opened its way for people of all classes and occupations.
Even if someone claims that Buddhism and Jainism created Untouchability, it sounds quite historical ignorance. One has to read Ambedkar and other Buddhist scholars for further clarification on this matter.
His knowledge came from some divine sources, considering what he did with almost nothing. People work their entire lives with all the education in the world and do nothing like what he did. The human brain is truly a mystery

Great narration, voice, and storytelling. I'm grateful to have learned about Ramanujan's life and gifts.
Probably the smartest person that ever lived
One of my favorite mathematicians. Cool episode.
There is a good movie about him, "The Man Who Knew Infinity"
Wow that was can amazing biography on sir ramanujan.
Ramanujan DID know how to prove results. The main reason he did not include proofs in letters was simple and sad: he was too poor to afford postal paper.
I guess connecting everything to each other with the internet would help amazing people but that still doesn’t address cost/tuition and being able to support basic life necessities. I guess if I had to solve this problem it would be to write a rebuttal of a published paper in the field of studies. However, still have a problem with sustainment and having access to clean environments. Life does find a way though so I guess I would trust our spiritual connection
I believe that he also knew how to access the Akashic Records.
The problem of the "middle house" that illustrates his genius, formulated slightly differently was (I was told) solved by the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss born in 1777... in a few seconds in his class when he was 6! (An anecdote that our math teacher told us when we were kids, I don't have a reference.).
From what I know Gauss didn't solve that problem but the addition of numbers using the formula [n(n+1)]/2 (Sum of N natural numbers)
I guess that was arithmetic progression
Gauss "The Prince Of Mathematics"
I saw the movie the man who knew infinity i enjoyed it this man was brilliant he was a autodidact

We did not steal, murder , loot , colonize other countries.
And yet, we produced the basics of modern math, science, medicine and astronomy.
And here we are, seen as a backward country just because we dont have enough wealth.
Wealth and values are different. We know we will get wealthy in the next 2 decades. But we'd rather be known for our values.
We are India.
Cry harder
lmao what basics?You did shit nothing,just try to take credit for everything
Stop it man it's embarrassing
And what was life like before British rule? Was it a peaceful utopia? What was the literacy rate? Were there any trains? How much of the economy came from foreign trade? Was the farming industry lucrative or about survival? Without the British how would Ramanujan have shared his knowledge with the world?
The British helped end the slave trade. The British ended the violence between indigenous groups in North America (lookup origins of lacrosse for example). The British helped create and expand international law. Many inventions you use every day are from the British. Your watching this video and commenting in English is thanks to the British. Stop feeding division and turn to gratitude.
As a Brit I am grateful to India for many things, beginning with yoga. I have met Indian friends who have changed my world view for the better. The hate on the west needs to end because our world has never been so divided both within countries and between them and continents. It won't end well if you pour fuel on the fire instead of helping to collect rain.
I also don't view India as a backward country. I don't know why you think people in the West view it that way, we aren't a monolith just like India isnt. My biggest concern about India is the religious extremism that has increased under Modi, his human rights record, and increased tensions with Pakistan. I don't like the Khalistan and Punjab situation, racism and the caste system that Indian immigrants have brought with them to the west.
Also, I have a hard time believing the British didn't try to reduce disease in India and improve healthcare, sanitation, etc. I am against missionaries proselytizing but I'm sure missionaries from the UK worked in India to improve healthcare too.
None of the Brits involved in colonization are alive today. The overwhelming majority of Brits alive during it did not personally benefit from it. There was rampant poverty and inequality in Britain too.
Thank you
Huge respect for this man from🇧🇩🖐
Massive respect to tamilians who make this country always proud
* Indians
He was a tamil brahmin. Tamil hate brahmin and doesn't consider them as their own. But in taking credit always first
So true@@tobesuccessful1901
When you got to the letter and the accent became indian 😂
Trying to be as authentic as possible
@@Newsthink Keep up the outstanding work!! 👏 😇
@@Newsthinkthe voice was just monotonous no feel into it still great work tho🙏
Thank you for showing complete map of India ❤
To find i, the number of the house which splits two sums of the houses before and after it equally :
First you calculate the total sum of all house's numbers which gives you n(n+1)/2
This sum is also the sum from 0 to i - 1 + i + the sum from i+1 to n. Since both sums are equal you get i + (i-1)i = i*i
Therfore i*i = n(n+1)/2 which you can solve
Shrinivasa Ramanujan said that "mathamatical equations are nothing to to him than a thought of god"....infact he said that he didnt know how he was doing the math.. why or how he wrote these equations...he was a stong beliver of a hindu goddess who he worshiped all the time and meditate upon her grace...he said it was her who told him to write these equations down to help the world and that he had no other explaination of how he did it.
i belive that this is an extremely important aspect of his life and must be talked about more often for a Genius like him, every acpect of his life must be as important, brilliant, inspiring, exciting..and helpful in further understanding the true nature of the world and life. just because something relates to religious aspects doesn't mean it should be shrugged off as unvaluable or false immediately.
Genius has no pattern it comes in varieties
It often depends in their age + environment + experience + hard-work
Great video. I am from Tamil Nadu so this makes me proud. And by the way Erode is spelled- ee-row-d.
Thank you for highlighting his life, and as an Indian, I believe there are hundreds of Ramanujans facing similar struggles as he did in the past.
Ramanujan provided the equation 1+2+3+...=-1/12 which is now used in string theor
yea sure,all positive integers will totally add up to *fractional negative rational number*
He is a mathematics genius, the goddess help him to solve all the mathematics issues ❤
😂 Sure
@@Aman-wt9ivDallah Can't even give the shape of Earth 😂😂😂and atta to u
I’m proud to share the same birth town with this once in a century genius
Nice video.
These british people were very nice to him and enabled him, thats great and somewhat surprising
I heard that he was of the Brahmin caste. I thought that was a blessed caste. I am surprised by his poverty despite being in such a caste.
Brahmins were considered high in status as the priestly class. But not because of their wealth.
I really wish that the British people, the university, his Drs, the government. I wish they would have recognized that he was deficient in some aspects of his nutritional needs, and offered him some supplements that he would have agreed to . If that was even available in 1920.
I guess it would have been hard back then to find out what exactly he was deficient in, and advise him on what plants or supplements to take.
I don’t know how much his diet contributed to him being susceptible enough to get pneumonia, or if he would have died either way , but it’s just such a shame the world’s healthcare loses people this young when it could be prevented. Hein sight is 2020 I guess
How World without srinivasa ramanujan !?
Have you seen a CZcams title "The Unlikely Math Prodigy From USA"? Best clickbait "india" 😂
🙏🙏🙏jai sri naamgiri devi🙏🙏🙏 ❤ramanujan ,sanatan dhrma❤❤❤❤❤
After Oppenheimer the movie, I've been more and more fascinated with these brilliant mind's biography
Wonderful vedio, well scripted, beautiful visuals, amazing rendering.
But could have added 1729 story too.
During school time, we had a lesson in English named RAMANUJAN, about his mathematical abilities. But most of us are scared maths and math teacher.
