Abstract:
This project is a study on the life of Ramanujan. We cover topics including a general description of life, his work in partitions, and the infinite pi series. The closest people to Ramanujan were his mother Komalatammal, his wife Janakiammal, and G.H Hardy (his mentor/partner). We will start by discussing his relationship to these people and the impact they had on him. Then once we get into mathematics, we can explain how Ramanujan did a lot of work in number theory with partitions. Number Theory is a subset of mathematics about studying the patterns and relationships between integers and other number groups/sets. Partitions are all the ways to add a number using non-negative integers. The poster will have photos and a description of the 3 partition congruences Ramanujan proved, and the partitions formula he created with Hardy. Partitions is significant in mathematics by giving us all possible combinations that we can apply to topics in statistics and graph theory. Finally, we will explain how Ramanujan’s infinite pi series is applied everywhere in math and physics by giving us more digits of pi.
