The Late Srinivasa Ramanujan

Abstract

IN the notice contributed to the issue of NATURE for June 17 last, Prof. Hardy was unable to give any account of the late Srinivasa Ramanujan's early life, and made no attempt to describe his appearance or character. The June number of the Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society has memorial articles by Prof. P. V. Seshu Aiyar, of Madras, and Dewan Bahadur Ramachandra Rao, and the first of these gives biographical details that have not hitherto been published in England.
