Born: 22 December 1887 in Erode, British India Died : 26 April 1920 in Chetput,British India because of hepatic amoebiasis(a parasitic

c infection of the liver)

He could not spent a stable childhood because of his poor family and their life standarts About his talent,G.H. Hardy, who was known a big mathematician and one of Ramanujans academic advisors with J.E. Littlewood, said only a few giant mathematicians like Euler,Gauss,Newton had the same talent which Ramanujan had.

He was invited England to improve his works by G.H. Hardy and J.E. Littlewood,who were two of big mathematicans at this time. He was elected to the London Mathematical Society and he became a Fellow of the Royal Society. Ramanujan has left a number of theorems and his notebooks which have still been being worked on.

Ramanujan found the mistery in the number,1729,while he was in his bed when he was sick. Hardy was asked about 1729 what he thought about it and he said it has nothing interesting.Then Ramanujan stated that 1729 is the smallest number which could be represented as in two different ways as a sum of twu cubes. After that,1729 have been called Ramanujan-Hardy number.
In memoriam of Ramanujan,books have been written and movies were made since he died.An example could be the movie named The Man Who Knew Infinity: A Life of the Genius Ramanujan based on the book.

Digits and Values: The placevalue system, first seen in the 3rd century Bakhshali Manuscript, was clearly in place in his work. Zero: Knowledge of zero was implicit in Aryabhata's place-value system as a place holder for the powers of ten with null coefficients Value of PI: Aryabhata worked on the approximation for pi (), and may have come to the conclusion that is irrational. Trignometry:In Ganitapada 6, Aryabhata gives the area of a triangle as "for a triangle, the result of a perpendicular with the half-side is the area." Algebra: In Aryabhatiya Aryabhata provided elegant results for the summation of series of squares and cubes:

In 1980, she gave the product of two, thirteen digit numbers within 28 seconds, manycountries have invited her to demonstrate her extraordinary talent. In Dallas she competed with a computer to see who give the cube root of 188138517 faster,she won. At university of USA she was asked to give the 23rd root of 916748676920039158098660927585380162483 10668014430862240712651642793465704086709 65932792057674808067900227830163549248523 80335745316935111903596577547340075681868 8305 620821016129132845564895780158806771. She answered in 50 seconds. The answer is 546372891. It took a UNIVAC 1108 computer,full one minute (10 seconds more) to confirm that she was right after it was fed with13000 instructions. Now she is known to be Human Computer.

He was born in a village of Mysore district. He was the first to give that any number divided by 0 givesinfinity (00). He has written a lot about zero, surds, permutation andcombination. He wrote, The hundredth part of the circumference of acircle seems to be straight. Our earth is a big sphere andthats why it appears to be flat. He gave the formulae like sin(A B) = sinA.cosB cosA.sinB

An ancient Greek mathematician, physicist, astronomer and engineer. Although little is known of his life, he is regarded as one of the leading scientists in classical antiquity. His early use of calculus included the first known summation of an infinite series with a method that is still used today. He is also credited with designing innovative machines, including weapons and the screw pump that bears his name. He is best known for allegedly exclaiming "Eureka!" after discovering what is known today as Archimedes' principle.

English mathematician, philosopher, and mechanical engineer who originated the idea of a programmable computer. Parts of his uncompleted mechanisms are on display in the London Science Museum. In 1991 a perfectly functioning difference engine was constructed from Babbage's original plans.

German mathematician and scientist who contributed significantly to many fields, including number theory, statistics, analysis, differential geometry, geodesy, electrostatics, astronomy, and optics. Sometimes known as "the prince of mathematicians" and "greatest mathematician since antiquity", Gauss had a remarkable influence in many fields of mathematics and science and is ranked as one of history's most influential mathematicians. Gauss was a child prodigy, of whom there are many anecdotes pertaining to his astounding precocity while a mere toddler, and made his first ground-breaking mathematical discoveries while still a teenager.

German polymath (a person with encyclopedic, broad, or varied knowledge or learning) who wrote primarily in Latin and French. He discovered calculus independently of Newton, and his notation is the one in general use since. He also discovered the binary system, foundation of virtually all modern computer architectures. Leibniz was groping towards hardware and software concepts worked out much later by Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace, 1830 45. In 1679, while mulling over his binary arithmetic, Leibniz imagined a machine in which binary numbers were represented by marbles, governed by a rudimentary sort of punched cards.

English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, and alchemist. His treatise Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, published in 1687, described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion, laying the groundwork for classical mechanics, which dominated the scientific view of the physical universe for the next three centuries and is the basis for modern engineering. Newton shares the credit with Gottfried Leibniz for the development of the calculus. He also demonstrated the generalized binomial theorem, developed the so-called "Newton's method" for approximating the zeroes of a function, and contributed to the study of power series.

French mathematician, physicist, and religious philosopher. He was a child prodigy who was educated by his father. The work done by Fermat and Pascal into the calculus of probabilities laid important groundwork for Leibniz's formulation of the infinitesimal calculus Following a mystical experience in late 1654, he abandoned his scientific work and devoted himself to philosophy and theology. His two most famous works date from this period: the Lettres provinciales and the Penses. Pascal suffered from ill health throughout his life and died two months after his 39th birthday.

Pythagoras of Samos was a Greek philosopher and founder of the religious movement called Pythagoreanism. He is often revered as a great mathematician, mystic and scientist; however some have questioned the scope of his contributions to mathematics or natural philosophy. We do know that Pythagoras and his students believed that everything was related to mathematics and that numbers were the ultimate reality and, through mathematics, everything could be predicted and measured in rhythmic patterns or cycles. The Pythagoreans were musicians as well as mathematicians. Pythagoras wanted to improve the music of his day, which he believed was not harmonious enough and was too hectic.

Euler may be the most influential mathematician who ever lived. His notations and methods in many areas are in use to this day. He gave the world modern trigonometry. He invented graph theory. Euler was first to explore topology, proving theorems about the Euler characteristic. he settled an arithmetic dispute involving 50 decimal places of a long convergent series. Four of the most important constant symbols in mathematics (, e, i = -1, and = 0.57721566...) were all introduced or popularized by Euler.
