  1. Srinivasa Ramanujan Iyengar was an Indian mathematician widely regarded as one of the greatest mathematical minds in recent history1. With almost no formal training in mathematics, he made substantial contributions in the areas of special functions and definite integrals, number theory, infinite series and continued fractions.

    A definite example of an autodidact prodigy, Ramanujan compiled an estimated 3,900 theorems during his short lifetime. Although a small number of these results were actually false, most of his statements have now been proven to be correct. His deep intuition and uncanny algebraic manipulative ability enabled him to state results that were both original and highly unconventional, and these have inspired a vast amount of research2. However, some of his discoveries have been slow to enter the mathematical mainstream. Recently, his formulae have found applications in the field of crystallography and in string theory. The Ramanujan Journal was launched specifically to publish work "in areas of mathematics influenced by Ramanujan".
