The Mathematical Legacy of Srinivasa Ramanujan

“This book is based on a number of talks the authors gave at various research institutes. Their aim is to survey some of Srinivasa Ramanujan’s most significant achievements and the developments they have led to over the last decades. … This volume is suitable as a first introduction to some of Ramanujan’s remarkable and deep ideas.” (C. Baxa, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vo. 180, 2016)

“The authors introduce the reader to the topics through a historical account of the origin and later developments. … We warmly recommend this book for those who would like to have a glimpse on Ramanujan’s mathematics. Without being lost in the technicalities the reader will get a good look at the shape of many central questions.” (Péter Hajnal, Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum (Szeged), Vol. 80 (1-2), 2014)

“The Murtys’ goal … is to present Ramanujan’s mathematical legacy to a broad audience, and the thrust of the book is a set of eleven chapters discussing exactly that. … the book will utterly charm you, given its accessibility, style, structure, and depth. It’s a great pleasure to read, and it’s fine scholarship.” (Michael Berg, MAA Reviews, December, 2013)

“This book is an outcome of lectures given by both authors in the last quarter century on various aspects of Ramanujan’s work at research institutions in India and Canada, to audiences ranging from graduate students to senior researchers. Thus the book is written in a style that will appeal to both research mathematicians and students desiring to enter the exciting world of Ramanujan’s mathematics. … the exposition is good and the book will be of interest to students and researchers … .” (Krishnaswami Alladi, Mathematical Reviews, September, 2013)
