As we take a step closer to the beginning of a New Year, here's a short blog post on the occasion of the birth anniversary of the great mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan - The Man Who Knew Infinity
Dec 22nd 2021 marks the 134th birth anniversary of the Mathematical genius and here's a humble tribute from yours truly to undoubtedly the greatest Mathematician of the last century
Let's look at few unique number patterns
a) 1887 + 2021 is 3908 which is a sum of two perfect squares 3844 and 64
b) 1887 can be represented as 1936 - 49 (44 ^ 2 - 7 ^ 2) while 2021 can be expressed as 2025 - 4 (45 ^ 2 - 2 ^ 2). Difference of two perfect squares
c) Now for the Ramanujan number itself to do some magic - 1729
1887 - 1729 = 158
Add 2021 and 158 and we get 2179
Now check this out
2021 - 1729 = 292
Add 1887 and 292 and bingo we get 2179 again!!
And do note that 2179 is the anagram of 1729!
Ramanujan Number at its best
d) In the previous step let's do subtraction instead of addition and see what happens
2021 - 158 = 1863 which is 1729 + 134 (Ramanujan number + 134th anniversary)!
1887 - 292 = 1595 which is 1729 - 134
(Ramanujan number - 134th anniversary)!
I am sure we could find more such interesting patterns especially when it is related to the Mathematical genius
