A (very) Brief History of Srinivasa Ramanujan 

Actually, sad life is common among great mathematicians and scientists. Evariste Galois, the founder of group theory, died aged 20 in a duel about a girl. Georg Cantor, the founder of set theory, spent a lot of time in mental asylums, as he faced harsh opposition to his theory and finally committed suicide. Kurt Godel, with his famous incompleteness theorems, at one point was convinced that everyone was trying to poison him and died from hunger... As Aristotle was saying: "There has never existed a great mind, without the touch of madness"...

@@ConnoisseurOfExistenceExcept Ramanujan wasn’t suffering from Madness🤷

I disagree, the "discrimination" seems to be exaggerated, after all he was voted in to the highest academic societies. His work was never stolen by the European mathematicians and they gave him his due honor and accolades. Moreover they bent over backwards to help him.

@@ConnoisseurOfExistenceyou seem like you really care about you’re art and I want to further that! Unnecessary Words (appositives ) like “actually” can damage your tone and weaken a logos message by importing emotional aggression.

@@jokercrazy999 Cantor is the founder of set theory, considered today as basis for all of mathematics. Even just that is already enough for him to be the greatest. But he was a person beyond any description. He spent all his life thinking about infinities, even though his ideas faced violent opposition and he was alone in his endeavours. He was described as 'corruptor of the youth' and many considered his ideas about many kinds of infinities as ridiculous, even though later the famous mathematician Hilbert said about him: "No one should expel us from the paradise that Cantor created for us". He wasn't scared to let his mind wonder in the deepest depths of mathematics, where no one has gone before him. To the point, where the depths of mathematics actually consumed him and he spent many of his late years in different mental asylums, finally taking his own life. As Aristotle said: "No great mind has ever existed without the touch of madness" and Nietzche: "If you stare too long into the abyss, the abyss starts staring back at you"...

It is Gauss though, the greatest mathematician of all time. Euler comes close

@@pinakichakraborty4495Naww, Ramanujan is the greatest Mathematician of all time. None other mathematician even comes close honestly 🤷

it`s either EULER or GAUSS

It's Cantor.

Thanks for the tip on pronunciation. Pronouncing these names is often my weakpoint xD

No, he pronounced it correctly

I've heard mathematicians including Ken Ono in presentations as well as indians pronouncing it the way I described

@@ethanjensen7967 no it should be pronounce like His name:- ✍️Sri-ni-va-sa 🗣️(𝘚𝘳𝘦𝘦-𝘯𝘦𝘦-𝘷𝘢𝘢-𝘴𝘶𝘩) His surname:- ✍️Ra-ma-nu-Jan 🗣️𝘙𝘢𝘢-𝘮𝘢𝘢-𝘯𝘶-𝘫𝘶𝘩𝘯

nahhh, his analytical side of his brain was highly developed, nothing todo with silly gods n goddesses

Bueno te gustan las matemáticas o como yo la historia 😅

It actually should though 🤷
