Abstract: Abstract The British mathematician L.J. Rogers had talents similar to Ramanujan in the theory of q-hypergeometric series and had discovered and proved the Rogers–Ramanujan identities about two decades before Ramanujan discovered them. In this article the life and mathematical contributions of Rogers are described and the story told of how Ramanujan in England accidentally came across certain papers of Rogers, and the recognition Rogers received after Ramanujan’s rediscovery of his work.
