Srinivasa Aaiyangar Ramanujan is arguably the undisputed king of Indian Mathematics. Born to a poor family at Erode in Tamil Nadu, Ramanujan was largely self-taught. With almost no formal training in pure mathematics, this mathematical wonder made astonishing contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. Isolated from the larger mathematical community, which was centered in Europe at the time, Ramanujan went on develop his own mathematical research in remoteness.
