Chapter Chapter 1 in The Mathematical Legacy of Srinivasa Ramanujan, 2013, pp 1-10 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract We give a brief biography of Srinivasa Ramanujan focusing on his first two letters to G.H. Hardy. We also place Ramanujan in the larger Indian scientific landscape of that time period to highlight his legacy outside of the mathematical field.
