-forbidden to eat meat/ only allowed to eat vegetables/ fruits (vegetarian)

+S. Ramanujan- has an allias of 'little wog' in trinity
-Lives in Madras, India (1914, where the story started)
-conducted his own mathematical reseachers
-working on his own formulas
*Function exactly represent the number of prime number less than in the form of an Infinites Series
*First Published "Highly Composite Numbers" at London Mathematical Society
~Flaws/ weaknesses: No degree, Unemployable
+Mamita/ Amma- mother of Ramanujan
- hated his daughter in law/ had a grudge or something
+Wife of Ramanujan- usually sent a letter to ramanujan which she first tought that her 'mother in law' mail/sent it

~Main- Trinity College (Cambridge, England)(1920)

-Library in Trinity (Wren): Epistles of Saint Paul, poems of Milton, Morgan's Bible, 'the piece de resistance' is Newton's Principia Mathematica
*A war had started in England (don't know what year)
~Madras, India (1914)- British have somewhat occupied India

Facts: - Mathematician needed proofs(as a common language) to believe in such formulas
~ For it is not that one can't see what you've claimed, it's that one is not sure how you got there
- There is a difference in 'TRADITION" between Englishman and Indian
- There are patterns in everything
-

-In math, patterns reveal themselves in the most incredible form

Words to Remember:
+Namagiri
+Integrals, Infinitive Series
+Hypergeometric Series
+Being elected as a fellow
+Divergence Theorem
+Union of Democratic Control
