A scientist from US had finally proved the mathematical relation -
discussed by great Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan with his
mentor G H Hardy in one of his last letters.
Srinivasa Ramanujan,
the young genius who died at the age of 32, often managed to jump from
insight to insight without formally proving the logical steps in
between.
Now the proof was found for a connection that he seemed to mysteriously comprehend between two types of mathematical functions.
It
was Ken Ono of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia who had previously
unearthed hidden depths in Srinivasa Ramanujan’s work, and now he was
prompted by. Ramanujan’s 125th birth anniversary to look once more at
his writings.
