In June 2009, a conference in number theory was held on the
beautiful campus of Infosys in Bangalore. The impetus for
organizing this meeting was to recognize and commemorate K.
Venkatachaliengar, an outstanding, well-known mathematician, who
taught primarily at universities in Bangalore and Mysore for most
of his career. He was born on 8 December, 1908, and so the meeting
marked the centenary of Venkatachaliengar's birth. In the last
several decades of his long life of 95 years, KV, as he was
affectionately known to most of his friends, had become keenly
interested in the life and work of India's greatest mathematician,
Srinivasa Ramanujan, and so it was natural for Ramanujan's first
loves of theta functions, partitions, and q-series to be the focus
of the conference. Accordingly, over 50 mathematicians gathered for
the presentation of 32 lectures in memory of both Ramanujan and KV.
This volume comprises 13 papers by mathematicians who lectured at
the meeting. In addition, three papers on the life and work of KV,
along with a complete list of his publications, are offered.
