He was born in 1887 in Erode, India, and died in 1920 in Kumbakonam, India.<\/p>\n<p>Ramanujan&#8217;s mathematical talent was evident from a young age. He began to study mathematics on his own, and by the age of 16, he had mastered the works of Euclid, Diophantus, and other mathematicians. In 1909, he wrote a letter to the English mathematician G.H. Hardy, in which he shared some of his mathematical discoveries. Hardy was impressed by Ramanujan&#8217;s work, and invited him to come to England to study at Cambridge University.<\/p>\n<p>Ramanujan&#8217;s work at Cambridge was groundbreaking. He made significant contributions to number theory, including the development of the Ramanujan prime, the Ramanujan theta function, and the Ramanujan conjecture. He also worked on the theory of modular forms and the theory of elliptic curves.<\/p>\n<p>Ramanujan&#8217;s work was not without its challenges. He often struggled with the formal rigor of mathematics, and he had difficulty communicating his ideas to other mathematicians. However, he was a brilliant mathematician, and his work has had a profound impact on the field of mathematics.<\/p>\n<p>The book &#8220;The Man Who Knew Infinity&#8221; by Robert Kanigel is a biography of Srinivasa Ramanujan. It was published in 1991, and it won the Pulitzer Prize for Biography. The book tells the story of Ramanujan&#8217;s life and work, and it explores his extraordinary mathematical genius.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect. Sir C. V.
