Most people first learn about the number π (pi) in school, usually when studying circles. It is often written as 3.14, but this is just an approximation. In reality, pi is an irrational number, ...

More than a century after Srinivasa Ramanujan scribbled his astonishing formulas for π in notebooks in India and England, physicists are finding that those same equations describe how nature behaves ...

Srinivasa Ramanujan was a legendary Indian mathematical prodigy whose life interwove spirituality with scientific genius.

It was in the year 1914 that Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan came to Cambridge with a notebook filled with 17 extraordinary infinite series for 1/π. They were not only efficient but also gave ...

Physicists from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have found that pure mathematical formulae used to calculate the value of pi 100 years ago by Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan has ...

A new study finds that a century-old infinite series for calculating π discovered by Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan can be applied in other corners of physics. The study explained that ...

For more than a century, Srinivasa Ramanujan’s uncanny formulas for the number pi have looked like pure mathematical fireworks, dazzling but detached from the physical world. Now a new wave of ...
