    About Ramanujan :-

    Srinivasa Ramanujan was an exceptional Indian Mathematician who was born on December 22, 1887
    in Erode, Tamil Nadu. He was mostly self-taught, he largely learned about mathematics himself. His
    Father, Srinivasa Iyengar worked as a clerk in saree shop. Just before turning 10, on November 10,
    1897 he passed his exam in English, Tamil, Geography and Arithmetic with the highest marks in his
    whole district.

    At 11, he has already defeated the mathematical knowledge of two college student who were
    lodgers at his home. He was also lent a book on advanced trigonometry by S.L Looney which he
    mastered by 13 and even discovered his own complex theorems. He completed all of his
    mathematics exams in only less than half the time. By 16, he got a library copy of A Synopsis of
    Elementary Results in Pure and Applied Mathematics, G. S. Carr's collection of 5,000 theorems.
    He studied the book and also by the next year he developed and investigated Bernoulli numbers
    himself.

    In 1904, Ramanujan was awarded the K. Ranganatha Rao prize for mathematics by the school's
    headmaster, Krishnaswami Iyer. I

    n 105 he fled from his home toward Vishakhapatnam where he failed every other subject than
    mathematics.

    By 1910 he was invited by a committee of mathematics in madras and he was appointed as a


    researcher in university of madras. He made many revolutions to mathematics while giving many
    interesting mathematical topics on Mathematical analysis, Number theory, Infinite theory and
    continued fractions.

    In 1913 Ramanujan mailed some of his research to mathematician G.H Hardy. His exceptional talent
    was soon recognized by the mathematician. With Hardy, He collaborated with him at Cambridge
    University. Ramanujan’s work showed us path towards advanced mathematics even though his work
    was both original and unconventional such as Ramanujan prime and Ramanujan theta function. His
    legacy continued to inspire mathematicians worldwide. Even after his death in 1920, the wealth of
    mathematics he left was priceless and people still remember him for his remarkable achievements,
    his contribution and his exceptional feat.

    Hardy Ramanujan Number (Taxicab Number)

    Once, Ramanujan came to know that Hardy was coming in a taxi. The moment they met Ramanujan
    asked the number of the taxi, Hardy uninterestingly said it was 1729. Ramanujan eyes glared as he
    said oh this one is a bit interesting 1729 can be expressed as sum of two cubes in a different way.
    This story became famous among mathematicians and they started calling it the Hardy-Ramanujan
    Number

    Hardy Ramanujan Number :-


    So according to hardy Ramanujan number 1729 is the sum of two cubes
    13 + 123 = 93 + 103
    1x1x1 + 12x12x12 = 9x9x9 + 10x10x10
    1 + 1728 = 729 + 1000
    1729 = 1729
