Description
Book SynopsisIn the library at Trinity College, Cambridge in 1976, George Andrews of Pennsylvania State University discovered a sheaf of pages in the handwriting of Srinivasa Ramanujan. Soon designated as "Ramanujan’s Lost Notebook," it contains considerable material on mock theta functions and undoubtedly dates from the last year of Ramanujan’s life.
Trade Reviewhematicians interested in the work of Ramanujan, will delight in studying this book … ." (Andrew V. Sills, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2005 m)
