Whether Ramanujin is a legend or not is unknown. Anyway, he has the unique ability and personality of ordinary people.
Hardy, a super figure in Cambridge, England, once said, "We study mathematics, and Ramanukin discovered and created mathematics." Yes, today's protagonist is this legendary figure who discovered and created mathematics: Srinivasa? Ramanujan
Lamanukin was born in 1887, and Geraud in Tamil Nadu is his hometown.
Yes, he is a native Indian, and he is a descendant of Brahman. My mother is a traditional Indian housewife with five children, while my father is the most ordinary clerk, supporting the whole family with a meager salary.
It stands to reason that being born in such a family, Lamanukin should be more eager for realistic things, such as academic qualifications and diplomas, because this can help him find a good job and thus change the status quo of starvation.
But this is not the case in reality. Ramanujin likes mathematics since he was a child, especially the sum of prime numbers. Constant summation formula. Usually he likes to split integers when he is free, but he is not interested in these processes and directly deduces formulas. Because of this, many of his formulas have not been proved until today.
It should be said that this is a legendary feature. Anyway, other children will want something to eat when they are free, at least it is normal to have a full stomach. We don't understand, when Lamanukin thinks about these boring numerical formulas, will he feel hungry?
Anyway, he entered middle school at the age of 65,438+00, and then he came into contact with mathematics. However, at the age of 1 1, he mastered the mathematics knowledge of government college students who rented in his home. By the age of 12, he had begun to study the properties of arithmetic progression and proportional series.
Perhaps such a child was so strange that his classmates didn't like him at that time and the teacher ignored him. No one knows what it's like to study those numbers day after day, and he doesn't want to enter his world.
At this time, someone must be anxious: why should a child who is so motivated and hardworking be called scum? It is clearly a "fighter" in learning. Well, if Lamanukin only has one math class, then he is really a fighter among the masters, but don't people have other classes?
As for what other lessons mean to Ramanujin, it is no ordinary pain. Lamanukin had a hard time being admitted to an ordinary university, but not long after, he was directly removed from the university because of serious partiality.
A year later, Lamanukin was admitted to Yapa College in Paquet. However, five liberal arts failed twice in a row, which is not a general failure. So, he had to be fired again.
Because of this, although Lamanukin has a super academic talent in mathematics, he has no diploma. It was very difficult to find a job, and finally I had to find a job as a scribe to barely support myself. As for his research on mathematics and formulas, he completely put them in his own world because no one understands them at all.
The mathematical formula that scares off ordinary people, Bole knows that Lamanu, a "swift horse", is doomed not to be buried.
However, there is a saying that "it is gold, and it will shine sooner or later". During his work, Lamanukin never gave up his research on mathematics, so he slowly published papers. Facing the persistent master of mathematics, his friend was anxious: "Isn't it better to send these research results to mathematicians in Cambridge?"
However, only Ramanujin himself knows that his mathematical formula is not understandable by ordinary people at all, because he worked out the formula directly and there is no proof process at all. In fact, he didn't have the courage to look at these formulas himself.
But out of his love for mathematics, Ramanujin finally issued his own mathematical proposition and formula. As you can imagine, a thousand miles is easy to find, but Bole is hard to find. At that time, Cambridge mathematicians Baker and Hobbes thought that they didn't understand what Ramanukin was studying.
However, Hardy became the talented Bole. He said, "No theorem can be put into the highest math exam in the world", but at the same time he couldn't help exclaiming, "I have never seen anything like it. He is a mathematical genius. "
Among them, the formula of "golden section" continued fraction studied by Ramanukin impressed Hardy the most. Therefore, Hardy directly helped him to enter Cambridge University, instead of studying, he regarded him as his partner, and the two of them studied mathematical formulas together. This cooperation is five years, and their achievements are among the best. Even outsiders believe that Hardy's fame depends on Ramanukin.
During this period, Ramanukin published a large number of papers, although they were all with Hardy. But at the same time, he also discussed the fields of mathematics such as elliptic function, divergent series and hypergeometric function, thus making immeasurable contributions to the development of mathematics.
However, Lamanukin, who is in Cambridge, often misses his hometown. In particular, after becoming an academician of Trinity College of Cambridge University, he was accepted as a foreign member of the Royal Society by the British side. It is said that he was the first member of the society in Asia at that time.
But what is the use of homesickness? At that time, the First World War was in full swing, and Lamanukin could not return to India at all. It was during this period that he suffered from severe depression, and sometimes he even thought of suicide. In such an urgent hope, Ramanujin waited for 19 19, and he finally set foot on the road home.
But no one expected that Lamanukin died of serious illness only one year after returning to China. It is said that it is lung disease. The year is 1920, and Ramanujin is only 32 years old. So-called jealous talents probably stop here.
Anyway, after Lamanukin died, people sorted out the mathematical formulas and propositions he left behind. This number is unbelievable. According to statistics, there are 3,900 recipes alone. This is a "legacy" that is too heavy for the world to believe but stubborn, and it benefits everyone.
Of course, it is not so easy for future generations to sort out and enjoy this "heritage". First, the quantity is large, and second, it is difficult. At first, Ramanujin said that he got these answers in his dream, but later generations were not so lucky as him. He could have a dream of proving and studying the process.
So it was not until 1997 that part of it was completed and five volumes were published. Gardner, an American master of mathematical science, said that this should be the truest evaluation of Lamanukin. He said: This is one of the best and richest biographies of contemporary mathematicians published so far.
