Srinivasa ramanujan Life and works
FROM: KAVYA AND AKANKSHA
Srinivasa Ramanujan was one of India's greatest mathematical geniuses. He made substantial contributions to the analytical theory of numbers and worked on elliptic functions, continued fractions, and infinite series.
INTRODUCTION
He was born on 22nd December. 1887 in a small village in Tamil Nadu named erode in his grandmother’s house
He offered alternative method of solving the same questions in an easier way, to the teacher and took half the time to finish his maths examinations.
One of the greatest reasons of his success is that he didn’t waste his time and used it judiciously.
HIS WORKS
CYCLICITY
The last digits of the exponents of all numbers have cyclicity i.e. every Nth power of the base shall have the same last digit, if N is the cyclicity of the number.
21 ends with 222 ends with 423 ends with 824 ends with 625 ends with 226 ends with 427 ends with 8 And so on,
31 ends with 332 ends with 933 ends with 734 ends with 135 ends with 336 ends with 937 ends with 7And so on,

USE OF CYCLICITY Unit digit for 359
We know that the cyclicity of 3 is 4. 59 ÷ 4 The remainder will be 3. So, the unit digit for 359 will be same as the Unit digit for 33 i.e. “7"

HARDY NUMBERSWhile travelling in taxi hardy noticed it’s numbers ,1729 . He must have thought about it a little because he entered the room where Ramanujan lay in bed and, with scarcely a hello, blurted out his disappointment with it. It was declared a dull number.Ramanujan denied it saying that it is a very interesting number. It is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways.
