With a passion for detail, Robert Kanigel takes us from to the slums of Madras
to the courts of Cambridge University where Srinivasa Ramanujan, a young
unschooled Indian clerk, tested his brilliant theories alongside G.H. Hardy, the
great English mathematician. Ramanujan died at the age of thirty-two, but he
left behind a magical and inspired legacy that is still being plumbed for its
secrets today.
