![]() Ramanujan is played by Dev Patel in the film, The Man Who Knew Infinity Source: Wikimedia Commons, YouTube A self-educated mathematician, Ramanujan was known for his theorems that contributed significantly to understanding number series, infinite series and continued fractions. His life was chronicled in the book The Man Who Knew Infinity by Robert Kanigel, published in 1991. This April, a biopic based on the brilliant Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, is all set to release. Like the misunderstood genius Alan Turing ( The Imitation Game), or the inspiring Stephen Hawking ( Theory of Everything), a peek into a past that we can only read of, overcoming obstacles that we can only imagine, makes us remember and respect these gifted minds. Movies about mathematicians excite us mostly because their ingenuity is both unfathomable and fascinating to us. The Man Who Knew Infinity, starring Dev Patel, is a biopic on his life. Atheist, Hindus, Christians and others all appreciate that beauty however we may describe or ascribe it.Srinivasa Ramanujan, a self-educated mathematician, pioneered brilliant discoveries of theorems. There are indeed many ways to see the beauty of the world around us. Ramanujan finds meaning in his proofs that provide even more beauty to his painting of invisible colors. Hardy is not moved to leave his atheism, but he does get insight into what it means to believe something or someone. The discussions about faith and doubt don’t strive to convert, but serve to help the two men to understand each other. At one point Ramanujan even claims that the source of his insights is his god. But the film moves beyond that to try to show that they blend together in seeing the world through clearer eyes than either can see alone. In one sense this may reflect the way many people expect that science and religion are by their natures incompatible. What is impossible for Hardy to believe is essential to Ramanujan. It becomes the way the film is able to talk about ultimate ideas. Hardy’s atheism is not incidental to the story. They come from two different world views, yet in the language and processes of mathematics they can come to understand one another. Hardy is an atheist because he refuses to accept what cannot be proved. His demand of proofs, a key part of any mathematic work, is really a reflection of his own view of reality. But Hardy is not willing to accept the beauty without understanding how it is found. He is obsessed at finding and sharing the wonders that he finds in the numbers he works with. Mathematics is not about the practical, but about beauty. He explains it to his wife as a painting with colors you cannot see. For Ramanujan, mathematics is an aesthetic. In the film math serves as the medium that allows the characters to talk about not just numbers, but about existential meaning. Can this brilliant mind (called miraculous by one professor) find its way to not only great discoveries, but the recognition of his genius? Ramanujan must put up with the racist and classist prejudices of the others at the university (which includes dietary issues) and with Hardy’s personal coldness. There he strives to have his work published, but Hardy demands that he provide proofs for his very complex (and exciting to mathematicians) equations. ![]() ![]() Ramanujan goes to England at the start for World War I, leaving his wife and mother in India. This is the story of Srinivasa Ramanujan, a mathematician without formal education who is “discovered” by G. The Man Who Knew Infinity is both entertaining and thought-provoking. It may seem even less likely to use that field to speak of the nature of faith. Theoretical mathematics may not seem a fertile ground for a movie, yet there have been some very popular and acclaimed films grounded in that discipline ( A Beautiful Mind and The Imitation Game come to mind). “An equation has no meaning to me unless it expresses a thought of God.” |
