In the library at Trinity College, Cambridge in 1976, George Andrews of Pennsylvania State University discovered a sheaf of pages in the handwriting of Srinivasa Ramanujan. Soon designated as "Ramanujan’s Lost Notebook," it contains considerable material on mock theta functions and undoubtedly dates from the last year of Ramanujan’s life. In this book, the notebook is presented with additional material and expert commentary.

Download and read online ebook The Lost Notebook and Other Unpublished Papers write by Srinivasa Ramanujan Aiyangar. This book was released on 1988. The Lost Notebook and Other Unpublished Papers available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The so-called Lost Notebook of S.R. Ramanujan was brought to light in 1976 as part of the Watson bequest, by G.E. Andrews with whose introduction this collection of unpublished manuscripts opens. A major portion of the Lost Notebook - really just 90 unpaginated sheets of work on q-series and other topics - is reproduced here in facsimile. Letters from Ramanujan to Hardy as well as various other sheets of seemingly related notes are then included, on topics including coefficients in the 1/q3 and 1/q2 problems and the mock theta functions. The next 180 pages consist of unpublished manuscripts of Ramanujan, including 28 pages from the 'Loose Papers` held in the Trinity College Library. Finally a number of interesting letters that were exchanged between Ramanujan, Littlewood, Hardy and Watson, with a bearing on Ramanujan's work are collected together here with other extracts and fragments.

Download and read online ebook Number Theory in the Spirit of Ramanujan write by Bruce C. Berndt. This book was released on 2006. Number Theory in the Spirit of Ramanujan available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Ramanujan is recognized as one of the great number theorists of the twentieth century. Here now is the first book to provide an introduction to his work in number theory. Most of Ramanujan's work in number theory arose out of $q$-series and theta functions. This book provides an introduction to these two important subjects and to some of the topics in number theory that are inextricably intertwined with them, including the theory of partitions, sums of squares and triangular numbers, and the Ramanujan tau function. The majority of the results discussed here are originally due to Ramanujan or were rediscovered by him. Ramanujan did not leave us proofs of the thousands of theorems he recorded in his notebooks, and so it cannot be claimed that many of the proofs given in this book are those found by Ramanujan. However, they are all in the spirit of his mathematics. The subjects examined in this book have a rich history dating back to Euler and Jacobi, and they continue to be focal points of contemporary mathematical research. Therefore, at the end of each of the seven chapters, Berndt discusses the results established in the chapter and places them in both historical and contemporary contexts. The book is suitable for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students interested in number theory.

Lost Notebook and Other Unpublished Papers available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Srinivasa Ramanujan's achievements in research made him perhaps the greatest Indian mathematician of modern times. By the time he was 12 years old he had worked through a copy of Loney's Trigonometry. At the age of 16 he verified over 6,000 formulae in Carr's Synopsis of Pure Mathematics. By the time he was married at 21 he had already obtained several results in the areas of elliptic integrals, hypergeometric series and divergent series. In 1918 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society and a Fellow of Trinity College, but died shortly thereafter.

Download and read online ebook Ramanujan's Lost Notebook write by George E. Andrews. This book was released on 2009-04-05. Ramanujan's Lost Notebook available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In the spring of 1976, George Andrews of Pennsylvania State University visited the library at Trinity College, Cambridge, to examine the papers of the late G.N. Watson. Among these papers, Andrews discovered a sheaf of 138 pages in the handwriting of Srinivasa Ramanujan. This manuscript was soon designated "Ramanujan's lost notebook." The "lost notebook" contains considerable material on mock theta functions and so undoubtedly emanates from the last year of Ramanujan's life. It should be emphasized that the material on mock theta functions is perhaps Ramanujan's deepest work.
