The Man Who Knew Infinity

This book tells the story of an improbable and productive collaboration between a young Indian prodigy and an English mathematician. With rich and evocative detail, the author takes us from the temples and slums of Madras to the courts and chapels of Cambridge University. The story follows the brilliant theories developed by the Hindu Ramanujan, the "Prince of Intuition," and his work alongside the sophisticated and eccentric Hardy, "the Apostle of Proof."
