| Summary |
Growing up poor in Madras, India, Srinivasa Ramanujan Iyengar earns admittance to Cambridge University during WWI, where he becomes a pioneer in mathematical theories with the guidance of his professor, G.H. Hardy. The pair would go on to become unlikely friends and make up one of history's most bewildering and productive collaborations. As mathematicians they worked on the most complex problems known to man and much of Ramanujan's work is still relevant in maths and science today. |
