Srinivasa Ramanujan Was The Strangest Man In All Of Mathematics, Probably In The Entire History Of Science. He Has Been Compared To A Bursting Supernova, Illuminating The Darkest, Most Profound Corners Of Mathematics, Before Being Tragically Struck Down By Tuberculosis At The Age Of 33, Like Riemann Before Him. Working In Total Isolation From The Main Currents Of His Field, He Was Able To Rederive 100 Years' Worth Of Western Mathematics On His Own. The Tragedy Of His Life Is That Much Of His Work Was Wasted Rediscovering Known Mathematics.
