DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/VCUcolloq/2/
 ">Why Does Ramanujan\, “The Man Who Knew Infinity\,” Matter?</a>\nby K
 en Ono (University of Virginia) as part of VCU Mathematics and Applied Mat
 hematics Colloquium Series\n\n\nAbstract\nSrinivasa Ramanujan\, one of the
  most inspirational figures in the history of mathematics\, was an amateur
  gifted mathematician from lush south India who left behind three notebook
 s that engineers\, mathematicians\, and physicists continue to mine today.
  Born in 1887\, Ramanujan was a two-time college dropout. He could have ea
 sily been lost to the world\, a thought that scientists cannot begin to ab
 sorb. He died in 1920. Prof. Ono will explain why Ramanujan matters today 
 and will share several clips from the film\, “The Man Who Knew Infinity\
 ,” starring Dev Patel and Jeremy Irons. Professor Ono served as an assoc
 iate producer and mathematical consultant for the film.\n
