RAMANUJAN QUIZ DAY - 5

 Hello Participants,

Thanks a lot to all of you. In the last 4 days, more than 10,000 students have tried to answer the questions based on the life of mathematical genius Srinivas Ramanujan, whose birthday is being celebrated as National Mathematics Day (22nd December) in India.

Let's get inspired by knowing few facts related to Ramanujan's life.

1. Ramanujan was a child prodigy . Mathematics was his passion but he never scored 100 out of 100 in mathematics. It doesn't mean that his knowledge of the subject Mathematics was less than those having 100 marks.

2.  Prof G H Hardy was very supportive to Ramanujan. On receiving the letter from Ramanujan , he immediately responded him back. From 1914 to 1917, Hardy and Ramanujan collaborated on more than half a dozen research papers. At the same time, Ramanujan published more than 30 research papers in three years.

3. Ramanujan returned to India in 1919 after the end of World War I. He left for heavenly abode on 26th April 1920 at the age of 32. After his death, all the loose sheet, Ramanujan had written were sent back to Hardy including this letter to inform him about the sad demise of Ramanujan.
