Product Description
The influence of Ramanujan on number theory is without parallel in mathematics. His papers, problems and letters have spawned a remarkable number of later results by many different mathematicians. Here, his 37 published papers, most of his first two and last letters to Hardy, the famous 58 problems submitted to the Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society, and the commentary of the original editors (Hardy, Seshu Aiyar and Wilson) are reprinted again, after having been unavailable for some time. In this, the third printing of Ramanujan's collected papers, Bruce Berndt provides an annotated guide to Ramanujan's work and to the mathematics it inspired over the last three-quarters of a century. The historical development of ideas is traced in the commentary and by citations to the copious references. The editor has done the mathematical world a tremendous service that few others would be qualified to do.

intended semi differential analysis March 1, 2007
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
Srinivasar was an enigma in the latter years of his life, when his work output suddenly quadrupled and his critics began to find their voices. His semiautonomials plowed new ground and his multiequanipseudonomials are said to have come to him late at night after a prolonged episode of religious fasting and penance wherein he shed 14 pounds over a 34 day period and was forced by his wife to consult 3 different doctors. Most think he was lucky to escape with his life. Such was his dedication to pure non-imaginary antinomials.
