In 1914, Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan published a short paper detailing several unusual formulas for calculating ...

Written as pure mathematics in 1914, Ramanujan’s formulas lay unnoticed for a century. Scientists now say they mirror the ...

Ramanujan’s century-old pi formula is finding new relevance in modern physics, with scientists linking his mathematics to ...

For more than a century, Srinivasa Ramanujan’s uncanny formulas for the number pi have looked like pure mathematical ...

Although not a household scientific name like Albert Einstein or Isaac Newton, Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan—who tragically died in 1920 at the age of 32—was one of the greatest minds in ...

In 1914, Srinivasa Ramanujan arrived at Cambridge with a notebook filled with 17 extraordinary infinite series for 1/π. They were strikingly efficient, producing accurate digits of the world’s most ...

Ramanujan’s elegant formulas for calculating pi, developed more than a century ago, have unexpectedly resurfaced at the heart of modern physics. Researchers at IISc discovered that the same ...

Earlier this month, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, professor Aninda Sinha and his former doctoral student Faizan Bhat linked the esoteric mathematics of Srinivasa Ramanujan with the ...

A quiet idea from 1914 still shapes new science. A young Srinivasa Ramanujan once shared bold pi equations. Today those same lines guide hard work in physics. A fresh study now links his ideas to ...

While building a simpler model for particle interactions, scientists made a sleek new pi. Representations of pi help scientists use values close to real life without storing a million digits. The ...
