Srinivasa Ramanujan Iyengar FRS (pronunciation: 
i/sriːnivɑːsə rɑːmɑːnʊdʒən/) (22 December 1887 – 26 April 1920) was a Tamil, Indian mathematician and autodidact. Though he had almost no formal training inpure mathematics, he made extraordinary contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. Ramanujan initially developed his own mathematical research in isolation; it was quickly recognized by Indian mathematicians. When his skills became apparent to the wider mathematical community, centred in Europe at the time, he began a famous partnership with the English mathematician G. H. Hardy. He rediscovered previously known theorems in addition to producing new theorems.

During his short life, Ramanujan independently compiled nearly 3,900 results (mostly identities andequations).[1] Nearly all his claims have now been proven correct, although some were already known.[2] He stated results that were both original and highly unconventional, such as the Ramanujan prime and theRamanujan theta function, and these have inspired a vast amount of further research.[3] The Ramanujan Journal, an international publication, was launched to publish work in all areas of mathematics influenced by his work.[4]
A movie is being develop today about Ramanujan. I understand he wanted to share his theory with the world, but your vision was also given to Albert Einstein, and he was part of the United States and that is why you had so many problems. I say put both vision together and you may come up with cures for cancer and other problems that we endure today.
