Srinivasa Ramanujan

1887–1920 · Number theory, analysis

Largely self-taught, Ramanujan produced thousands of original results in number theory, infinite series and continued fractions, often without formal proof. His work on partitions and the mock theta functions remains deeply influential, the latter finding modern application in the study of black holes.
