In 1913, a young unschooled Indian clerk wrote a letter to G H Hardy, begging the preeminent English mathematician's opinion on several ideas he had about numbers. Realizing the letter was the work of a genius, Hardy arranged for Srinivasa Ramanujan to come to England.
Thus began one of the most improbable and productive collaborations ever chronicled. Devout Hindu Ramanujan, "the Prince of Intuition," tested his brilliant theories alongside the sophisticated and eccentric Hardy, "the Apostle of Proof."
In time, Ramanujan's creative intensity took its toll: he died at the age of thirty-two, but left behind a magical and inspired legacy that is still being plumbed for its secrets today.
१९१३ मध्ये एका तरुण अशालेय भारतीय क्लार्कने जी एच हार्डी यांना एक पत्र लिहून, त्यांच्या संख्येबद्दल असलेल्या अनेक कल्पनांबद्दल प्रख्यात इंग्रजी गणितज्ञांच्या मताची भीक मागितली.
हे पत्र एका प्रतिभावंताचे काम आहे हे लक्षात आल्यावर हार्डीने श्रीनिवास रामानुजन यांना इंग्लंडमध्ये येण्याची व्यवस्था केली. अशा प्रकारे आतापर्यंतच्या सर्वात अशक्य आणि उत्पादक सहकार्यांपैकी एक गोष्ट सुरू झाले. श्रद्धाळू हिंदू रामानुजन या अत्याधुनिक आणि विक्षिप्त हार्डीबरोबर आपल्या चमकदार सिद्धांतांची चाचणी घेतली. कालांतराने रामानुजनच्या सर्जनशील तीव्रतेचा परिणाम झाला: वयाच्या बत्तीस व्या वर्षी त्याचा मृत्यू झाला, परंतु एक जादूई आणि प्रेरित वारसा मागे ठेवला जो आजही अनेक रहस्य उलगडत आहे.
