During the time period between 1903 and 1914, Ramanujan worked in
almost complete isolation in India. Throughout these years, he
recorded his mathematical results without proofs in notebooks. Upon
Ramanujan's death in 1920, G.H. Hardy strongly urged that
Ramanujan's notebooks be published and edited. The English
mathematicians G.N. Watson and B.M. Wilson began this task in 1929,
but although they devoted nearly ten years to the project, the work
was never completed. In 1957, the Tata Institute of Fundamental
Research in Bombay published a photostat edition of the notebooks,
but no editing was undertaken. In 1977, Berndt began the tasks of
editing Ramanujan's notebooks. Proofs are provided to theorems not
yet proven in previous literature, and many results are so
startling and different that there are no results akin to them in
the literature.
