Google Doodle celebrates Ramanujan’s 125th Birthday

New Delhi: To mark and celebrate the 125th birth anniversary of India’s brilliant and genius mathematician, Srinivasa Ramanujan, Google has come up with its own unique doodle.
Like all other doodles, this doodle which is dedicated to Ramanujan is also quite unique as it is depicting mathematical theorems in the letters of the word GOOGLE being written by a small boy which seems to be Srinivasa Ramanujan.
Ramanujan was born on December 22nd 1887 in a small village of Erode which was in earlier Madras Province, now in Tamil Nadu. Ramanujan was recognised for his significant and extra ordinary work for mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series and continued fractions. Ramanujan did all this research without any pure and formal education.
By honouring Srinivasa Ramanujan on his 125th birthday, Google has done a wonderful job in its doodle. Ramanujan lived a very short life, although his work was so extraordinary that the government of India decided to honour him by announcing his birth date as the National Mathematical day and also the year 2012 as the National Mathematical Year.
On 26 April 1920, Ramanujan died of illness, malnutrition, and possibly liver infection at the age of 32.
