The death anniversary of Srinivasa Ramanujan is observed every year in India on April 26. Ramanujan was a renowned Indian mathematician of the 20th century who passed away on April 26, 1920, at the young age of 32. Born in Erode, India, Ramanujan's extraordinary mathematical talent was recognised at a young age despite having minimal formal training in the subject. He made groundbreaking contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions, including solutions to mathematical problems then considered unsolvable.

Ramanujan had numerous health problems throughout his life. As per records, his health worsened in England, and he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and a severe vitamin deficiency and confined to a sanatorium. In 1919, he returned to Kumbakonam, Madras Presidency, and in 1920 he died at the age of 32. After his death, his brother Tirunarayanan compiled Ramanujan's remaining handwritten notes, which consisted of formulae on singular moduli, hypergeometric series, and continued fractions.

About Srinivasa Ramanujan
Srinivasa Ramanujan was an Indian mathematician who made significant contributions to the field of mathematics. Ramanujan's abilities were evident from a young age, and despite facing many obstacles, including poverty and lack of formal education, he independently pursued his passion for mathematics. During his short life, Ramanujan independently compiled nearly 3,900 results, mostly identities and equations.
Many were completely novel, his original and highly unconventional results, such as the Ramanujan prime, the Ramanujan theta function, partition formulae and mock theta functions, have opened entire new areas of work and inspired further research. Tragically, Ramanujan passed away at the age of 32. Despite his short life, Ramanujan's legacy continues to inspire mathematicians around the world.
