Srinivasa Ramanujan was an Indian mathematician who made extraordinary contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. Born in 1887 in Erode, Tamil Nadu, Ramanujan displayed a natural aptitude for mathematics from a young age, despite having little formal training. His work was largely self-taught, and he developed many of his theories independently, leading to groundbreaking findings that would later influence various mathematical disciplines.

Ramanujan's collaboration with British mathematician G.H. Hardy was pivotal in his career. After sending a letter filled with his mathematical discoveries to Hardy, he was invited to England, where they worked closely together. Despite facing cultural differences and health challenges, Ramanujan's genius shone through, culminating in numerous theorems and results that remain influential today. His legacy endures through the continued exploration of his work and the establishment of the Ramanujan Prize for young mathematicians.
