Man Who Knew Infinity, The

Colonial India, 1913. Srinivasa Ramanujan is a 25-year-old shipping clerk and self-taught genius, who failed out of college due to his near-obsessive, solitary study of mathematics. Determined to pursue his passion despite rejection and derision from his peers, Ramanujan writes a letter to G. H. Hardy, an eminent British mathematics professor at Trinity College, Cambridge. Hardy recognises the originality and brilliance of Ramanujan’s raw talent and, despite the skepticism of his Hardy’s colleagues, undertakes bringing Ramanujan to Cambridge so that the theories can be explored.
