Colonial India, 1913, Ramanujan is a 25-year-old shipping clerk and self-taught genius, who failed out of college because of his near-obsessive, solitary study of mathematics.
Ramanujan leaves his family and community to travel across the world to England. He works with Hardy.
Hardy fights to get Ramanujan the recognition and respect he deserves.
Ramanujan (22 December 1887 - 26 April 1920) was an Indian mathematician and autodidact. He made extraordinary contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series and continued fractions.
Ramanujan was quickly recognized by Indian mathematicians. He began a famous partnership with the English mathematician G.H.Hardy. The Cambridge professor realized that Ramanujan had rediscovered previously known theorems in addition to producing new ones.
