In the spring of 1976, George Andrews of Pennsylvania State
University visited the library at Trinity College, Cambridge, to
examine the papers of the late G.N. Watson. Among these papers,
Andrews discovered a sheaf of 138 pages in the handwriting of
Srinivasa Ramanujan. This manuscript was soon designated,
"Ramanujan's lost notebook." Its discovery has frequently been
deemed the mathematical equivalent of finding Beethoven's tenth
symphony. This fifth and final installment of the authors'
examination of Ramanujan's lost notebook focuses on the mock theta
functions first introduced in Ramanujan's famous Last Letter. This
volume proves all of the assertions about mock theta functions in
the lost notebook and in the Last Letter, particularly the
celebrated mock theta conjectures. Other topics feature Ramanujan's
many elegant Euler products and the remaining entries on continued
fractions not discussed in the preceding volumes. Review from the
second volume:"Fans of Ramanujan's mathematics are sure to be
delighted by this book. While some of the content is taken directly
from published papers, most chapters contain new material and some
previously published proofs have been improved. Many entries are
just begging for further study and will undoubtedly be inspiring
research for decades to come. The next installment in this series
is eagerly awaited."- MathSciNet Review from the first
volume:"Andrews and Berndt are to be congratulated on the job they
are doing. This is the first step...on the way to an understanding
of the work of the genius Ramanujan. It should act as an
inspiration to future generations of mathematicians to tackle a job
that will never be complete."- Gazette of the Australian
Mathematical Society
