Computer attempts to replicate the dream-like maths of Ramanujan

Srinivasa Ramanujan became as soon as an influential mathematician

THE legendary mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan became as soon as known for coming up with unconventional mathematical solutions. He has now impressed a pc program that does the same.

Called the Ramanujan Machine, the instrument poses conjectures for generating equations whose output is key mathematical constants similar to π and e. A conjecture is an unproven mathematical assertion.

Born in 1887 in what is now Tamil Nadu in India, Ramanujan became as soon as a self-taught mathematician. He in general claimed that his results came to him in a dream, and disliked the formal proofs favoured by most mathematicians. Ramanujan moved to the …
