Reading The Man Who Knew Infinity | Alexandria
Read The Man Who Knew Infinity by Robert Kanigel. Emerging from abject poverty in colonial India, Srinivasa Ramanujan defied odds by revolutionizing mathematics through pure intuition - without formal training. His mystical approach to numbers, claiming formulas came to him in dreams from a goddess, challenged Western rationalism yet produced groundbreaking theorems still used in black hole physics today.
