Ramanujan’s genius Proved by US Mathematician

A scientist from US had finally proved the mathematical relation - discussed by great Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan with his mentor G H Hardy in one of his last letters.

Srinivasa Ramanujan, the young genius who died at the age of 32, often managed to jump from insight to insight without formally proving the logical steps in between.

Now the proof was found for a connection that he seemed to mysteriously comprehend between two types of mathematical functions.

It was Ken Ono of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia who had previously unearthed hidden depths in Srinivasa  Ramanujan’s work, and now he was prompted by. Ramanujan’s 125th birth anniversary to look once more at his writings.
