He demonstrated unusual He joined another college to pursue independent mathematical research, working as a clerk in the Accountant-General's office at the Madras Port Trust Office to support himself. In his biography of Ramanujan Robert Kanigel describes that by the time he was eleven ``his classmates were coming to him for help'', a year later he was ``challenging his teachers'' and by the time he was thirteen her had mastered S.L. In these lectures, I will present an account of his romantic life, provide a few glimpses into his mathematics and relate the increasing interest in his work and its relevance even today. He demonstrated a natural ability, and was given books on advanced trigonometry written by S. He was starving and getting more and more ill in Cambridge. The first was the result of an astounding piece of mathematics by Ken Ono and his colleagues on the theory of partitions, bringing to a conclusion some of Ramanujan's most interesting work in number theory. Included are technical lectures on mathematics influenced by Ramanujan's work, public presentations on Ramanujan's notebooks, dance performances and a film about Ramanujan's life. Well, his dear UK colleagues let him die of starvation and without medical care. University Press, 1st edition, 1940. Hardy and Ramanujan weren't just mathematical collaborators, they were also great friends.
