ABSTRACT / INHALTSTEXT
THIS BOOK IS A COLLECTION OF ARTICLES, ALL BY THE AUTHOR, ON THE INDIAN
MATHEMATICAL GENIUS SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN AS WELL AS ON SOME OF THE
GREATEST MATHEMATICIANS IN HISTORY WHOSE LIVES AND WORKS HAVE THINGS IN
COMMON WITH RAMANUJAN. IT PRESENTS A UNIQUE COMPARATIVE STUDY OF
RAMANUJAN’S SPECTACULAR DISCOVERIES AND REMARKABLE LIFE WITH THE
MONUMENTAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF VARIOUS MATHEMATICAL LUMINARIES, SOME OF
WHOM, LIKE RAMANUJAN, OVERCAME GREAT DIFFICULTIES IN LIFE. ALSO, AMONG
THE ARTICLES ARE REVIEWS OF THREE IMPORTANT BOOKS ON RAMANUJAN’S
MATHEMATICS AND LIFE. IN ADDITION, SOME ASPECTS OF RAMANUJAN’S
CONTRIBUTIONS, SUCH AS HIS REMARKABLE FORMULAE FOR THE NUMBER Π, HIS
PATHBREAKING WORK IN THE THEORY OF PARTITIONS, AND HIS FUNDAMENTAL
OBSERVATIONS ON QUADRATIC FORMS, ARE DISCUSSED. FINALLY, THE BOOK
DESCRIBES VARIOUS CURRENT EFFORTS TO ENSURE THAT THE LEGACY OF RAMANUJAN
WILL BE PRESERVED AND CONTINUE TO THRIVE IN THE FUTURE.THUS THE BOOK IS
AN ENLIGHTENING STUDY OF RAMANUJAN AS A MATHEMATICIAN AND A HUMAN BEING.
FROM THE FOREWORD BY GEORGE ANDREWS—ONE OF THE GREATEST EXPERTS ON
RAMANUJAN S WORK: “ALLADI, WHO HAS WORKED IN SEVERAL AREAS OF NUMBER
THEORY AND ANALYSIS, AND WHO, AS EDITOR OF THE RAMANUJAN JOURNAL, IS
UNIQUELY QUALIFIED TO WRITE THESE HISTORICAL SKETCHES WHICH PROVIDE AN
UNUSUAL AND COMPELLING VIEW OF RAMANUJAN.” ABOUT THE AUTHOR
KRISHNASWAMI ALLADI IS PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
FLORIDA, WHERE HE WAS THE DEPARTMENT CHAIRMAN DURING 1998–2008. HE
RECEIVED HIS PHD FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES,IN
1978. HIS RESEARCH AREA IS NUMBER THEORY, WHERE HE HAS MADE NOTABLE
CONTRIBUTIONS. IN 1987, DURING THE RAMANUJAN CENTENNIAL IN INDIA, HE GOT
THE INSPIRATION TO LAUNCH THE RAMANUJAN JOURNAL (NOW PUBLISHED BY
SPRINGER), DEVOTED TO ALL AREAS OFMATHEMATICS INFLUENCED BY
RAMANUJAN.HE ANNUALLY WRITES ARTICLESABOUT RAMANUJAN AND HIS PLACE IN
THE WORLD OF MATHEMATICS, FOR JOURNALS AND NEWSPAPERS. HE IS PRESENTLY
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF THE RAMANUJAN JOURNAL, EDITOR OF THE BOOK SERIES
DEVELOPMENTS IN MATHEMATICS (SPRINGER), AND ASSOCIATE EDITOR OF NOTICES
OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY
