Based on a book of the same name by Robert Kanigel, #TheManWhoKnewInfinity is the story of the mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan (played by Dev Patel) from Tamil Nadu in India.
The film presents #mathematics as art and as a creative process of discovery. To Ramanujan, it reveals “thoughts of God”.PS: 1729 is the smallest number expressible as a sum of two cubes in two different ways, the two ways being 13 + 123 and 93 + 103 💓
