GH Hardy, Ramanujan, The Search For Proof And The Discovery Of Truth

from Math! Science! History! · host Gabrielle Birchak

GH Hardy was a character. He had qualities that were odd, yet endearing. He was a rigorous mathematician. Yet, when he received a letter from Srinivasa Ramanujan, he changed. He learned a new way of equating mathematics, and developed a deep and loving respect for an individual who was never formally educated in math. This is the story of a man who had the ability to see genius in another person, even when that person couldn't see it in themselves. 🔗 Explore more on our website: mathsciencehistory.com 📚 To buy my book Hypatia: The Sum of Her Life on Amazon, visit https://a.co/d/g3OuP9h  🌍 Let's Connect!YouTube: Math!
