Friend of Numbers: The Life of Mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan
Priya Narayanan, illustrated by Satwik Gade
This biography follows Srinivasa Ramanujan, who grew up in southern India under British rule and became absorbed by patterns in numbers. He devoted himself to mathematical ideas, explored concepts, and attempted to publish his work. In 1914, at age twenty-six, he traveled to England to work with G. H. Hardy. Although Cambridge differed greatly from home, Ramanujan continued pursuing the questions and discoveries that mattered to him.
