    Extractions: Bhupendra M. Gandhi It was a simple request, expressed in a letter to AV, by Ms. Jyoti Shah, whose curiosity was aroused after watching a documentary on Channel four. Although she only mentioned that it was about an Indian mathematician, who was a genius in his chosen field, the alert and knowledgable readers were soon on the right track and I was inundated with information, by phone, fax and email. Srinivas Ramanujam Aiyangar was born on 22nd December 1887, in a poor Brahmin family, in a small village in the State of Tamil Nadu. He suffered from poor health all his life and died on 26th April 1920, at a very young age of 32. He was a natural-born mathematician, at least 50 years ahead of his time, in his research and his working method. He was not always right or even on right track. In fact he made many mistakes but he dared to explore and write formulas which no one would dare to enter into. He crossed the frontier of science that others would only dream about. Although Ramanujam was a genius in pure mathematics, he was, equally very poor in other subjects, perhaps he concentrated all his energies on mathematics. His scholarship to Government College in Kumbakonam was terminated after only one year, as he did so badly in all his subjects except pure mathematics.

The CUNY Dispute Resolution Consortium [CUNY DRC] invites students of bicultural Asian backgrounds to participate in a pilot project that will provide culturally-relevant conflict resolution skills for professional and personal development vital in a culturally diverse society. Grounded in the Asian American bicultural experience, this unprecedented training project will provide students with crucial skills that will better equip them to handle conflicts within themselves and with others in their environment on campus, in their future careers, and at home. In this first of its kind project, an initial group of fifteen (15) Asian American students at CUNY will be chosen to participate in a daylong intensive training course on June 1

    Extractions: Of Lives and Works..... Indian Scientist (3) Srinivasa Ramanujan : The Great Mathematics of Modern India Ramanujan’s brief life and death are symbolic of conditions in India. Of our millions how few get any education at all; how many live on the verge of starvation. Jawaharlal Nehru in his Discovery of India Robert Kanigel the biographer of Ramanujan rightly wrote: “Ramanujan’s life can be made to serve as parable for almost any lesson you want to draw from it.” Ramanujan’s life is full of strange contrasts. He had no formal training in mathematics but yet he was “in terms of natural mathematical genius, in the class of Gauss and Euler.” Probably Ramanujan’s life has no parallel in the history of human thought. Ramanujan’s example stirred the imagination of many particularly that of mathematicians. According to As Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar (1910-95), the Indian born astrophysicist, who got Nobel Prize in 1983, said : “ all the mathematicians who reached distinction during the three or four decades following Ramanujan were directly or indirectly inspired by his example.” Even those who do not know about Ramanujan’s work are bound to be fascinated with his life. Srinivasa Ramanujan Iyengar (best known as Srinivasa Ramanujan) was born on December 22, 1887, in Erode about 400 km from Chennai (then Madras) where his mother’s parents lived. After one year he was brought to his father’s town Kumbakonam. His parents were K. Srinivasa Iyengar and Komalatammal. He passed his primary examination in 1897, scoring first in the district and then he joined the Town High School. In 1904 he entered Kumbakonam’s Government College as F.A. student. He was awarded a scholarship. However, after school Ramanujan’s total concentration was focussed on mathematics. The result was that his formal education did not continue for long. He first failed in Kumbakonam’s Government College. He tried once again in Madras from Pachaiyappa’s College but he failed again.

The success of Indian mathematics was mainly due to the fact that Indians had a clear conception of the abstract number as distinct from the numerical quantity of objects or spatial exten sion."

    Extractions: Indian mathematician who was self-taught and had an uncanny mathematical manipulative ability. Ramanujan was unable to pass his school examinations in India, and could only obtain a clerk's position in the city of Madras. However, he continued to pursue his own mathematics, and sent letters to three mathematicians in England (which arrived in January of 1913) containing some of his results. While two of the three returned the letters unopened, G. H. Hardy recognized Ramanujan's intrinsic mathematical ability and arranged for him to come to Cambridge. Because of his lack of formal training, Ramanujan sometimes did not differentiate between formal proof and apparent truth based on intuitive or numerical evidence. Although his intuition and computational ability allowed him to determine and state highly original and unconventional results which continued to defy formal proof until recently (Berndt 1985-1997), Ramanujan did occasionally state incorrect results. Ramanujan had an intimate familiarity with numbers, and excelled especially in

Mathematicians not only study, but also research, and this must be given prominent mention here, because a misconception that everything in mathematics is already known is widespread among persons not learned in that field. In fact, the publication of new discoveries in mathematics continues at an immense rate in hundreds of scientific journals, many of them devoted to mathematics and many devoted to subjects to which mathematics is applied (such as theoretical computer science, physics or quantum mechanics).
