Ramanujan was born on 22 December 1887 in the city Erode, Tamil Nadu, India, at the residence of his maternal grandparents. His father, K. Srinivasa Iyengar worked as a clerk in a sari shop and hailed from the district of Thanjavur. His mother, Komalatammal or Komal Ammal was a housewife and also sang at a local temple.They lived in Sarangapani Street in a traditional home in the town of Kumbakonam. The family home is now a museum. When Ramanujan was a year and a half old, his mother gave birth to a son named Sadagopan, who died less than three months later. In December 1889, Ramanujan had smallpox and recovered, unlike thousands in theThanjavur district who died from the disease that year. He moved with his mother to her parents' house in Kanchipuram, near Madras (now Chennai). In November 1891, and again in 1894, his mother gave birth, but both children died in infancy.
On 1 October 1892, Ramanujan was enrolled at the local school.In March 1894, he was moved to a Telugu medium school. After his maternal grandfather lost his job as a court official in Kanchipuram, Ramanujan and his mother moved back to Kumbakonam and he was enrolled in the Kangayan Primary School. After his paternal grandfather died, he was sent back to his maternal grandparents, who were now living in Madras. He did not like school in Madras, and he tried to avoid going to school. His family enlisted a local constable to make sure he attended school. Within six months, Ramanujan was back in Kumbakonam
Hardy was also impressed by some of Ramanujan's other work relating to infinite series.

He waited for a solution to be offered in three issues, over six months, but failed to receive any. At the end, Ramanujan supplied the solution to the problem himself. On page 105 of his first notebook, he formulated an equation that could be used to solve the infinitely nested radicals problem.
In algebra, a nested radical is a radical expression that contains another radical expression.

The first two professors, H. F. Baker and E. W. Hobson, returned Ramanujan's papers without comment. On 16 January 1913, Ramanujan wrote to G.H. Hardy. Coming from an unknown mathematician, the nine pages of mathematical wonder made Hardy initially view Ramanujan's manuscripts as a possible "fraud". Hardy recognized some of Ramanujan's formulae but others "seemed scarcely possible to believe".
As you can see, Srinivasa Ramanujan was a very successful man and he had a big effect on math back then, and today. He has made a big impact on math and his experiences and tests have proven many new math theories and lessons. :D

~Srinivasa Ramanujan~
{Math.jpeg}
Srīnivāsa Aiyangār Rāmānujan FRS, better known as Srinivasa Iyengar Ramanujan (22 December 1887 – 26 April 1920) was an Indian Mathematician and autodidact ( a person who is self taught) who, with almost no formal training in pure mathematics made substantial contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series and continued fractions. Ramanujan's talent was said by the English mathematician G.H. Hardy to be in the same league as legendary mathematicians such as Euler, Gauss, Newton and Archimedes.
Born in Erode, Tamil Nadu, India, Ramanujan first encountered formal mathematics at age 10. He demonstrated a natural ability, and was given books on advanced trigonometry (the branch of mathematics that deals with the relations between the sides and angles of plane or spherical triangles, and the calculations based on them) written by S. L. Loney. He mastered them by age 12, and even discovered theorems of his own. He demonstrated unusual mathematical skills at school, winning accolades and awards. By 17, Ramanujan conducted his own mathematical research on Bernoulli numbers and the Euler–Mascheroni constant. He received a scholarship to study at Government College in Kumbakonam, but lost it when he failed his non-mathematical coursework. He joined another college to pursue independent mathematical research, working as a clerk in the Accountant-General's office at the Madras Port Trust Office to support himself. In 1912–1913, he sent samples of his theorems to three academics at the University of Cambridge. Only Hardy recognized the brilliance of his work, subsequently inviting Ramanujan to visit and work with him at Cambridge. He became a Fellow of the Royal Society and a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, dying of illness, malnutrition and possibly liver infection in 1920 at the age of 32.
