Ramanujan was born on 22 December 1887 in a Tamil Family in Tamil Nadu, India.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He has given more than 3500 mathematical equations\/ Formulae which are yet to be proved by the present time scientists and mathematicians. He offered new ideas and created a new path for contemporary mathematicians.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He contributed to many mathematical theories and concepts like number theory, mathematical analysis of infinite series, continued fractions, so on. A few of his noteworthy contributions are the Riemann series, Divergent Series Theory, elliptic integrals, Hypergeometric series.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With his extraordinary talent in mathematics, Ramanujan became one of the most prominent mathematicians in the history of Mathematicians. His research and founding still influence and direct the field of Mathematician.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ramanujan had an innate talent for mathematics. His talent for mathematics was discovered by his colleague. With the help of his co-worker, Ramanujan came in contact with Professor Godfrey Harold Hardy, who was a professor at Trinity College, Cambridge University.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">G. H. Hardy was very impressed with Ramanujan. With the help of Hardy, Ramanujan pursued his B.Sc. Degree from Trinity College.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His research in the Theory of Numbers and Elliptic Functions gave him a fellowship of Royal Society in 1918. Ramanujan also became the first Indian to become a fellow of Trinity College.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the age of 32, Ramanujan succumbed to tuberculosis. In his short life span, Ramanujan gained much recognition and applause for his extraordinary talent in Mathematics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"National_Mathematics_Day_FAQs\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National Mathematics Day: FAQs<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Q1.
