One of the most amazing and wonderful mathematicians of all time is Srinivasa
Ramanujan. He provides a shining example for each of us in at least two
important ways. First, his magical genius has provided mathematicians for
the last one hundred years with wonderful research directions that have greatly
enriched our understanding of many areas of Mathematics. Second, he has
shown us that someone born in poverty can achieve success beyond our wildest
dreams. The world is a better place because he lived”.
