Hardy that forever changed mathematics. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1913, a young unschooled Indian clerk wrote a letter to G H Hardy, begging the pre-eminent English mathematician's opinion on several ideas he had about numbers.  Realising the letter was the work of a genius, Hardy arranged for Srinivasa Ramanujan to come to England.  Thus began one of the most improbable and productive collaborations ever chronicled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a passion for rich and evocative detail, Robert Kanigel takes us from the temples and slums of Madras to the courts and chapels of Cambridge University, where the devout Hindu Ramanujan, 'the Prince of Intuition,' tested his brilliant theories alongside the sophisticated and eccentric Hardy, 'the Apostle of Proof'.  In time, Ramanujan's creative intensity took its toll:  he died at the age of thirty-two and left behind a magical and inspired legacy that is still being plumbed for its secrets today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdapted into a film in 2016 starring Dev Patel, Jeremy Irons, Stephen Fry, Toby Jones and Devika Bhise.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little, Brown Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54228690305368,"sku":"9780349104522","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780349104522_e906d140-1ce1-472d-b94b-e9d232d5217f.jpg?v=1780137909","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/man-who-knew-infinity","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
