Ramanujan's life was marked by both brilliance and tragedy. He was a child prodigy, and by the age of 13 he had independently discovered many of the results that are now considered to be his major contributions to mathematics. However, he also suffered from poverty and ill health, and he died prematurely at the age of 32.

Despite his short life, Ramanujan left behind a legacy of mathematical work that continues to inspire and challenge mathematicians today. His work has been used to solve a wide range of problems, including those in number theory, analysis, and statistical mechanics.

In "My Search For Ramanujan," Ken Ono, a leading mathematician at Emory University, tells the story of his lifelong quest to understand Ramanujan's work. Ono's journey takes him to India, where he meets Ramanujan's family and colleagues, and to England, where he studies Ramanujan's notebooks at the University of Cambridge.

Along the way, Ono uncovers new insights into Ramanujan's work and sheds light on the personal and mathematical struggles that he faced. "My Search For Ramanujan" is a fascinating and inspiring account of one of the greatest mathematicians of all time.
