The Legend lives..........
This post is another gem added to the crown of the great mathematician
SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN. Mathematicians from a US university have solved a cryptic puzzle that renowned Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan claimed came to him in his dreams on his deathbed.While on his death-bed in 1920, Ramanujan wrote a letter to his mentor, G H Hardy, outlining several new mathematical functions never before heard of, along with a hunch about how they worked, the Daily Mail said.Now, researchers say they have proved Ramanujan was right, and that the formula could explain the behaviour of black holes. "We've solved the problems from his last mysterious letters," Ken Ono, a mathematician from Emory University in Georgia, US, said.Ono said Ramanujan spent so much time thinking about maths that he flunked out of college in India twice. A devout Hindu, he thought these patterns were revealed to him by the goddess Namagiri
