Srinivasa Aaiyangar Ramanujan is arguably the undisputed king of Indian Mathematics. Born to a poor family at Erode in Tamil Nadu, Ramanujan was largely self-taught. With almost no formal training in pure mathematics, this mathematical wonder made astonishing contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. Isolated from the larger mathematical community, which was centered in Europe at the time, Ramanujan went on develop his own mathematical research in remoteness. Consequently, this genius frequently rediscovered known theorems, as well as went on to produced new ones. Regarded as a natural genius by a famous English mathematician G. H. Hardy, Ramanujan is said be in the same league as Euler, Gauss and other renowned mathematicians. But unfortunately, mother India lost one of its most revered sons to tuberculosis when he was just 32 years old.
