Srinivasa Ramanujan
The Majestic Mathematician
The work by Srinivasa Ramanujan is on a level so high that few of his peers understood his Out of the Cosmos math
In The Indian Clerk, David Leavitt wrote:
The early 20th century mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan was, ‘of all Indians, . . . the first whom the English knew to be innately the equal of their greatest men,’ E. H. Neville, a Cambridge mathematician and contemporary, said. But David Leavitt’s novel, The Indian Clerk, shows how its subject did not exactly fit the West’s conception of a rational thinker. It reveals a striking gap between Indian and Western tolerance for extra-rational ideas and beliefs.
Halfway through The Indian Clerk, David Leavitt’s novelisation of six fateful years that the Indian mathematical genius Srinivasa Ramanujan spent at Cambridge – before and during World War I – his fellow-mathematician and tutor in Western maths, G. H. Hardy, muses about his friend’s hopeless exoticism.
Wikipedia Quotes:
Ramanujan initially developed his own mathematical research in isolation. According to Hans Eysenck, "he tried to interest the leading professional mathematicians in his work, but failed for the most part.
What he had to show them was too novel, too unfamiliar, and additionally presented in unusual ways; they could not be bothered."[1]
Seeking mathematicians who could better understand his work, in 1913 he began a mail correspondence with the English mathematician G. H. Hardy at the University of Cambridge.[2] Recognising Ramanujan's work as extraordinary, Hardy arranged for him to travel to Cambridge.
In his notes, Hardy commented that Ramanujan had produced groundbreaking new theorems, including some that "defeated me completely; I had never seen anything in the least like them before",[3] and some recently proven but highly advanced results.
