Beyond the Book: The "Index" as a Film Companion

With the release of the 2015 film The Man Who Knew Infinity (starring Dev Patel and Jeremy Irons), the book’s index has taken on a new role. Film viewers use the index to find "scenes cut from the movie."

Cambridge Years and Mathematical Contributions
Invited to Cambridge, Ramanujan arrived in 1914. Over the next five years, under Hardy’s mentorship (and sometimes stern guidance), Ramanujan published dozens of papers and further filled his notebooks. His work spans many areas, but some highlights include:

  1. G.H. Hardy: Ramanujan's letters to Hardy, a renowned mathematician, caught the latter's attention. Hardy was impressed by Ramanujan's work and invited him to Cambridge.
  2. J.J. Thomson: Ramanujan also corresponded with Thomson, another prominent mathematician, who encouraged him to pursue a career in mathematics.
