Heegner numbers

Heegner numbers are what I am interested in. But I plan not to go further. Because it is beyond me.
Ramanujan knew about Heegner numbers. And therefore my curiosity is a subset of his knowledge. That's the way I prefer to view my mathematical endeavours.
I have many ifs of past life. Opportunities that wasn't there. Opportunities that I just missed. But I'm confident. Just one correct friend and I can change for  better. That's the way I feel in the present.

There are two Indians who have very high knowledge in mathematics.
One is Ramanujan and the other is Madhava of Sangamagrama.

Using #PythaShastri method one can get series 1/2,1/3,1/4,1/5,1/6,1/7 and so on.
A cycle half of the above periodicity and sign varying every quarter cycle would be
1-1/3+1/5-1/7 . . .
The above is called arctangent series.
Madhava of Sangamagrama used the arctangent series and determined pi/4.
He also determined formula for errors in the above formula.
He was great.

As I wrote earlier in #PythaShastri complex number post, doubling and i squared (-1) terms arises.
And Madhava of Sangamagrama has doubled and negated to obtain pi by 4 arctangent series.The movement.

This finishes the topic.

I don't have to go further on Heegner numbers. See my post on Indo Asian hour glass.
My concepts on complex numbers, series are clear now. I possibly think like German mathematicians. Not English or French.
