More than a hundred years ago, long before anyone imagined supercomputers or black hole ...

A new study reveals that Srinivasa Ramanujan’s century-old formulas for calculating pi unexpectedly emerge within modern theories of critical phenomena, turbulence, and black holes. In school, many of ...

Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in ...

IISc researchers connect Ramanujan’s century-old pi formulae with modern physics, uncovering surprising mathematical ...

Why did Ramanujan’s formulae stay relevant for a century? His set of 17 expressions offered huge speed. They gave long digit ...

Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan is known for creating over 3,900 identities and equations in his short life of 32 years, earning him the nickname 'The Magician of India.' Ramanujan's numerous ...

While on his death bed, the brilliant Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan cryptically wrote down functions he said came to him in dreams, with a hunch about how they behaved. Now 100 years later, ...

Professor Gerald Lambeau: You ever heard of Ramanujan? Dr. Sean Maguire:... no. Lambeau: … lived over 100 years ago. He was Indian, dot (pointing to forehead). Maguire: Not feathers, yeah. Lambeau: He ...

The number 1729 is one of my favorites. To mathematicians it is known as the “taxicab of 2.” The story of how it got that name is one of the great legends in modern mathematics. It is told again in ...

A century-old Ramanujan formula for calculating pi has been discovered to emerge naturally in modern high-energy physics. Researchers at IISc show it governs black holes.

IISc researchers reveal connections between Ramanujan's pi formulae and modern high-energy physics, enhancing calculations in turbulence and black hole theories.
