The 131st birthday of the great mathematics wizard, Ramanujan, falls on today, Saturday, 22nd December.

Some prominent points about the mathematics wizard:

Ramanujan was born in Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu, which had several other people of great genius, wisdom, and knowledge.

The mathematics wizard Ramanujan was so gifted that even at a very young age, he could find solutions to some long-pending complicated theories in Mathematics, that too, unguided by anyone.

Ramanujan was born on 22nd December 1887.  He studied in a Kumbakonam school and later, in the Kumbakonam government college.

Ramanujan was such a wizard in mathematics that he could find solutions to some of the mysteries of unsolved mathematical theorems and problems, explain them and astonished the other country citizens with awe and wonder.

The wizard Ramanujan passed away at a rather young age of 32. As an initiative of honouring him and his achievements, the Kumbakonam private deemed university has been annually selecting outstanding young mathematics wizards conferring honours on them.

On this accord, during the 16th year of this honoring event, Professors YiFeng Liu (Yale University, the USA) and Jack Thorne (Cambridge University) were selected for this honour and were accorded with the awards and cash of US $ 5000.

Thus, the mathematics wizard Ramanujan, who discovered several formulae and theorems to solve difficult problems in the subject and created awe and wonder throughout the world, is a unique personality who must be praised by one and all!
