SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN
Contribution to Mathematics
His chief contribution in mathematics lies
mainly in analysis, game theory and infinite series. He made in depth analysis
in order to solve various mathematical problems by bringing to light new and
novel ideas that gave impetus to progress of game theory. Such was his
mathematical genius that he discovered his own theorems. It was because of his
keen insight and natural intelligence that he came up with infinite series for
π
This series made up
the basis of certain algorithms that are used today. One such remarkable
instance is when he solved the bivariate problem of his roommate at spur of
moment with a novel answer that solved the whole class of problems through
continued fraction. Besides that he also led to draw some formerly unknown
identities such as by linking coefficients of and providing identities for
hyperbolic secant.
