Collected Papers of Srinivasa Ramanujan

Originally published in 1927, this book presents the collected papers of the renowned Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887?1920), with editorial contributions from G. H. Hardy (1877?1947). Detailed notes are incorporated throughout and appendices are also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the works of Ramanujan and the history of mathematics.
