Ramanujan when he was just 15 years old, he obtained a copy of George Shoobridge Carr’s “Synopsis of Elementary Results in Pure and Applied Mathematics”. Ramanujan has also made his own theorems and ideas. In 1903, he got a scholarship to the University of Madras but failed in the following year because he just wanted to pursue his career in mathematics. Ramanujan without employment and living in the poorest circumstances continued his work. Ramanujan published his first papers in 1911 in the Journal of Indian Mathematical Society. Srinivasa Ramanujan made significant contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. Ramanujan “the man who knew infinity" showed extraordinary skill in understanding these limiting behaviours. For example, he developed a theory for logi
