H. Hardy]].<br /> <br /> The Cambridge professor realized that Ramanujan had rediscovered previously known theorems in addition to producing new ones.<br /> <br /> During his short life, Ramanujan independently compiled nearly 3,900 results (mostly identities and equations).<br /> <br /> Nearly all his claims have now been proven correct, although some were already known.<br /> <br /> His original and highly unconventional results, such as the [[Ramanujan prime]] and the [[Ramanujan theta function]], have inspired a vast amount of further research.<br /> <br /> The [[Ramanujan Journal]], an international publication, was launched to publish work in all areas of mathematics influenced by his work.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> <br /> * [[Continued fraction]]<br /> * [[Infinite series]]<br /> * [[Mathematical analysis]]<br /> * [[Mathematics]]<br /> * [[Number theory]]<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> <br /> [[Category:Mathematicians]]<br /> [[Category:People]]</div>
