Now What?

The mathematics I was writing about is over.
But mathematics is a big field. There are areas like discrete mathematics, algebra, calculus in detail, set theory,  hyperbolic geometry, algorithms etc. So a lot of scope exists for everyone.
I would be reading more from "Theory of Complex Functions" book.

Whom do I think as the greatest mathematician?
I will restrict my answer to Srinivasa Ramanujan.
The most important thing of knowledge is in its application. Consider Ramanujan Theta function for instance. I wrote Quality x Conscience = Up and Working. Another could be Luck x Opportunity = Money. So Ramanujan Theta function has application.
Let us take Ramanujan Tau functions. I was against USA during teenage and twenties. I would do anything but consider USA. But time has mellowed me down and now I am different. I say thanks to USA almost everyday. Ramanujan Tau functions !!
And what has our country done to Ramanujan ? As far as I know, except Tamil Nadu he is not studied in a regular course in other states (I think so. Not sure).
However December 22 is the National Mathematics day. The birth-date of Srinivasa Ramanujan. Dr. Manmohan Singh announced this.
