SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN (1887-1920) BELONGS TO THE PANTHEON OF GREAT MATHEMATICIANS OF INDIA WHOSE LINEAGE STRETCHES BACK AT LEAST 25 CENTURIES, AND WHOSE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES HAVE OFTEN BEEN PIONEERING AND REVOLUTIONARY. RAMANUJAN WAS BORN IN ERODE IN TAMIL NADU, ON 22-12-1897. LATER HIS FAMILY MOVED TO KUMBAKONAM IN CHENNAI  HE WAS UNEMPLOYED FOR A LONG TIME AND BACK OF SUFFICIENT MEANS OF LIVELIHOOD HAUNTED HIM IN HIS EARLY YOUTH. AFTER SOME STRUGGLE HE OBTAINED A CLERICAL POST WITH THE MADRAS PORT TRUST AT CHENNAI. MEANWHILE, RAMANUJAN’S MATHEMATICAL WORK CONTINUED VIGOROUSLY. HE ALSO BEGAN TO POSE AND SOLVE PROBLEMS IN THE JOURNAL OF THE INDIAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY. RAMANUJAN HAD AN INSTINCTIVE KNOWLEDGE OF MATHEMATICS, MOST OF WHICH HE HAD WORKED OUT BY HIMSELF. HE HAD ONLY THE VAGUEST IDEA, HOWEVER OF WHAT CONSTITUTES A MATHEMATICAL PROOF. IN 1918 HE BECAME THE FIRST INDIAN TO BE ELECTED TO THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. HE WAS ALSO ELECTED A FELLOW OF TRINITY COLLEGE CAMBRIDGE  THE SAME YEAR. INDIA POST PAYS HOMAGE TO THIS MATHEMATICAL GENIUS BY ISSUING A COMMEMORATIVE POSTAGE STAMP.

Srinivasa Ramanujan was a mathematician par excellence. He is widely believed to be the greatest mathematician of the 20th Century. Srinivasa Ramanujan made significant contribution to the analytical theory of numbers and worked on elliptic functions, continued fractions, and infinite series.

Srinivasa Aiyangar Ramanujan was born on December 22, 1887 in Erode, Tamil Nadu. His father worked in Kumbakonam as a clerk in a cloth merchant’s shop. At the of five Ramanujan went to primary school in Kumbakonam. In 1898 at age 10, he entered the Town High School in Kumbakonam. At the age of eleven he was lent books on advanced trigonometry written by S. L. Loney by two lodgers at his home who studied at the Government college. He mastered them by the age of thirteen. Ramanujan was a bright student, winning academic prizes in high school.

At age of 16 his life took a decisive turn after he obtained a book titled” A Synopsis of Elementary Results in Pure and Applied Mathematics”. The book was simply a compilation of thousands of mathematical results, most set down with little or no indication of proof.

Date Of Issue:-23.12.2011.


Born at Erode, Madras Presidency (now Tamil Nadu) in a Tamil Brahmin family of Thenkalai Iyengar sect^[2][3][4] Ramanujan's introduction to formal mathematics began at age 10. He demonstrated a natural ability, and was given books on advanced trigonometry written by S. L. Loney that he mastered by the age of 12; he even discovered theorems of his own, and re-discovered Euler's identity independently.^[5] He demonstrated unusual mathematical skills at school, winning accolades and awards. By 17, Ramanujan had conducted his own mathematical research on Bernoulli numbers and the Euler–Mascheroni constant.Srinivasa Ramanujan FRS ( pronunciation (help·info)) (Tamil: ஸ்ரீனிவாஸ ராமானுஜன்; 22 December 1887 – 26 April 1920) was an Indian mathematician and autodidact who, with almost no formal training in pure mathematics, made extraordinary contributions tomathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. Living in India with no access to the larger mathematical community, which was centred in Europe at the time, Ramanujan developed his own mathematical research in isolation. As a result, he sometimes rediscovered known theorems in addition to producing new work. Ramanujan was said to be a natural genius by the English mathematician G. H. Hardy, in the same league as mathematicians such as Euler and Gauss.^[1] He died at the age of 32.

Ramanujan received a scholarship to study at Government College in Kumbakonam, which was later rescinded when he failed his non-mathematical coursework. He joined another college to pursue independent mathematical research, working as a clerk in the Accountant-General's office at the Madras Port Trust Office to support himself.^[6] In 1912–1913, he sent samples of his theorems to three academics at the University of Cambridge. G. H. Hardy, recognizing the brilliance of his work, invited Ramanujan to visit and work with him at Cambridge. He became a Fellow of the Royal Society and a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. Ramanujan died of illness, malnutrition, and possibly liver infection in 1920 at the age of 32.

During his short lifetime, Ramanujan independently compiled nearly 3900 results (mostly identities and equations).^[7] Nearly all his claims have now been proven correct, although a small number of these results were actually false and some were already known.^[8]He stated results that were both original and highly unconventional, such as the Ramanujan prime and the Ramanujan theta function, and these have inspired a vast amount of further research.^[9] However, the mathematical mainstream has been rather slow in absorbing some of his major discoveries. The Ramanujan Journal, an international publication, was launched to publish work in all areas of mathematics influenced by his work.^[10]

In December 2011, in recognition of his contribution to mathematics, the Government of India declared that Ramanujan's birthday (22 December) should be celebrated every year as National Mathematics Day, and also declared 2012 the National Mathematics Year.

A GAP IN THE UPPER LIP IS CALLED A CLEFT. THIS IS ONE OF THE COMMONEST FORMS OF BIRTH DEFECTS AMONG HUMANS. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT ONE CHILD IN EVERY 700 BORN ARE AFFLICTED WITH THIS DEFECT. ANY BIRTH DEFECT IS TRAGIC AND PAINFUL. A CLEFT RESULTS IN EXTREME FACIAL DEFORMITY. THE CHILD IS UNABLE TO EAT OR SPEAK PROPERLY AND OFTEN OTHER DIFFICULTIES SUCH AS HEARING IMPAIRMENT ACCOMPANY A CLEFT. IF UNTREATED THE CHILD IS LEFT HELPLESS AND CONDEMNED TO LEAD LIFE AS A SOCIAL OUTCAST. HOWEVER, THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW BIRTH DEFECTS THAT CAN BE EASILY CORRECTED BY SURGICAL REPAIR THAT COULD TAKE AS LITTLE AS 45 MINUTES. THE SMILE TRAIN IS A GLOBAL CHARITY ORGANIZATION REACHING OUT OT MILLIONS OF CHILDREN SUFFERING FROM CLEFT DEFECTS AND DEFORMITIES. THE SMILE TRAIN BEGAN IN 1999 WITH ONE SURGERY IN CHINA PERFORMED BY A LOCAL MEDICAL TEAM AND HAS SINCE GROWN INTO THE LARGEST CLEFT ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD. THE SMILE TRAIN HAS ALREADY TRAINED MORE THAN 1100 DOCTORS AND SPONSORED MORE THAN 1,60,000 SURGERIES IN INDIA. THE AIM OF THE SMILE TRAIN IS NOT JUST TO PUT SMILES ON THE FACES OF KIDS THAT HAVE NEVER KNOWN ONE, BUT TO GIVE THEM A SECOND CHANCE IN LIFE. INDIA POST IS HAPPY TO ISSUE A COMMEMORATIVE POSTAGE STAMP ON ‘THE SMILE TRAIN-CLEFT SURGERY’.

The Smile train is a global charity organization reaching out to the millions of children suffering from cleft defects and deformities.

The Smile Train has already trained more than 1100 doctors and sponsored more than 1,60,000 surgeries in India. The aim of the Smile Train is not just to put smiles on the faces of kids that have never known one, but to give them a second chance in life.

India Post issued a stamp on 6th December 2011 on Smile Train - Cleft surgery.

A cleft is a birth defect and often the No.1 birth defect in most developing countries – nutrition is one of the leading factors and lack of folic acid. Babies are born with clefts everywhere in the world including the U.S. But you seldom see clefts in the U.S. and Europe because they are repaired automatically soon after birth. Clefts are usually NOT repaired in developing countries because most of the families are too poor to afford surgery and the government will not provide free surgery. A gap in the upper lip is called a cleft. Any birth defect is tragic and painful. A cleft results in extreme facial deformity. The child is unable to eat or speak properly. However this is one of the few birth defects that can be easily corrected by surgical repair that could take as little as 45 minutes.

The smile train is a global charity organization reaching out to millions of children suffering from cleft defects and deformities. The Smile Train began in 1999, with one surgery in China performed by a local medical team, and has since grown into the largest cleft organization in the world.
