(The letters that Ramanujan wrote to G. H. Hardy on Januar...)
The letters that Ramanujan wrote to G. H. Hardy on January 16 and February 27, 1913, are two of the most famous letters in the history of mathematics. This book brings together many letters to, from, and about Ramanujan, many that have never been published before. This book will appeal to those interested in Ramanujan's mathematics as well as those wanting to learn more about the personal side of his life. The History of Mathematics series is jointly published with the London Mathematical Society.

(This book contains essays on Ramanujan and his work , as ...)
This book contains essays on Ramanujan and his work , as well as important survey articles in areas influenced by Ramanujan's mathematics. Most of the articles in the book are nontechnical, but even those that are more technical contain substantial sections that will engage the general reader. The book opens with the only four existing photographs of Ramanujan, presenting historical accounts and information about other people in the photos. This section includes an account of a cryptic family history written by his younger brother, S. Lakshmi Narasimhan. Following are articles on Ramanujan's illness by R. A. Rankin, the British physician D. A. B. Young, and Nobel laureate S. Chandrasekhar. They present a study of his symptoms, a convincing diagnosis of the cause of his death, and a thorough exposition of Ramanujan's life as a patient in English sanitariums and nursing homes. Following this are biographies of S. Janaki (Mrs. Ramanujan) and S. Narayana Iyer, Chief Accountant of the Madras Port Trust Office, who first communicated Ramanujan's work to the Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society. The last half of the book begins with a section on "Ramanujan's Manuscripts and Notebooks". Included is an important article by G. E. Andrews on Ramanujan's lost notebook. The final two sections feature both nontechnical articles, such as Jonathan and Peter Borwein's "Ramanujan and pi", and more technical articles by Freeman Dyson, Atle Selberg, Richard Askey, and G. N. Watson. This volume complements the book Ramanujan: Letters and Commentary, Volume 9, in the AMS series, History of Mathematics. For more on Ramanujan, see these AMS publications, Ramanujan: Twelve Lectures on Subjects Suggested by His Life and Work, Volume 136.H, and Collected Papers of Srinivasa Ramanujan, Volume 159.H, in the AMS Chelsea Publishing series. Copublished with the London Mathematical Society.

Berndt attended college at Albion College, graduating in 1961, where he also ran track.
He received his master"s and doctoral degrees from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He lectured for a year at the University of Glasgow and then, in 1967, was appointed an assistant professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he has remained since. In 1973-1974 he was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
He is currently (as of 2006) Michio Suzuki Distinguished Research Professor of Mathematics at the University of Illinois.
Berndt is an analytic number theorist who is probably best known for his work explicating the discoveries of Srinivasa Ramanujan. He is a coordinating editor of The Ramanujan Journal and, in 1996, received an expository Steele Prize from the American Mathematical Society for his work editing Ramanujan"s Notebooks.
A Lester R. Ford Award was given to Berndt, with Gerd Almkvist, in 1989 and to Berndt, with South. Bhargava, in 1994. In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
In December 2012 he received an honorary doctorate from Shanmugha Arts Science Technology and Research Academy University in Kumbakonam, India.
