Srinivasa Ramanujan Iyengar (22 December 1887 - 26 April 1920) was an Indian mathematician who is widely regarded as one of the greatest mathematical minds in recent history. With almost no formal training in pure mathematics, he made substantial contributions in the areas of mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series and continued fractions. Ramanujan, born and raised in Erode, Tamil Nadu, India, first encountered formal mathematics at age ten. Wikipedia
