A new study reveals that Srinivasa Ramanujan’s century-old formulas for calculating pi unexpectedly emerge within modern theories of critical phenomena, turbulence, and black holes. In school, many of ...

Ramanujan's pi-computing machinery exactly mirrors the necessary structure in modern physical theories (LCFTs).

Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in ...

IISc researchers connect Ramanujan’s century-old pi formulae with modern physics, uncovering surprising mathematical ...

Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan is known for creating over 3,900 identities and equations in his short life of 32 years, earning him the nickname 'The Magician of India.' Ramanujan's numerous ...

>> Srinivasa Ramanujan displayed advanced mathematical ability since age 11 after reading a book on advanced trigonometry written by S. L. Loney, lent by two college students, who were lodgers at his ...

While on his death bed, the brilliant Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan cryptically wrote down functions he said came to him in dreams, with a hunch about how they behaved. Now 100 years later, ...

December 22, 2012, marks the 125th anniversary of the birth of legendary Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. An intuitive mathematical genius, Ramanujan's discoveries have influenced several ...

The number 1729 is one of my favorites. To mathematicians it is known as the “taxicab of 2.” The story of how it got that name is one of the great legends in modern mathematics. It is told again in ...

In 1914, Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan made public a collection of 17 mathematical expressions for calculating pi, an iconic constant used worldwide. These formulations, compact yet highly ...
