Answer 18

Srinivasa Ramanujan FRS ( pronunciation (help·info)) (22 December 1887 – 26 April 1920) was an Indian mathematician and autodidact who, with almost no formal training in pure mathematics, made extraordinary contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. Living in India with no access to the larger mathematical community, which was centered in Europe at the time, Ramanujan developed his own mathematical research in isolation. As a result, he sometimes rediscovered known theorems in addition to producing new work. Ramanujan was said to be a natural genius by the English mathematician G.H. Hardy, in the same league as mathematicians like Euler and Gauss.[1]

Born in a poor Brahmin family, Ramanujan's introduction to formal mathematics began at age 10. He demonstrated a natural ability, and was given books on advanced trigonometry written by S. L. Loney that he mastered by the age of 12; he even discovered theorems of his own, and re-discovered Euler's identity independently.[2] He demonstrated unusual mathematical skills at school, winning accolades and awards. By 17, Ramanujan had conducted his own mathematical research on Bernoulli numbers and the Euler–Mascheroni constant.

Answer 19

i love this word 'autodidact'

Answer 20

That is imprecise - the Namakiri has taught him..

Answer 21

one more thing is there, 1729 hardy-ramanujam number , that he developed whilst he was in hospital

Answer 22

OK @sauravshakya here is a little help

Answer 23

put into search window of Google the following old Indian Mystical signs (same order, do not change with spaces !):
1 -1 +1 -1 + 1- 1 +1 =1 Ramanujan

Answer 24

Sorry these:
1 -1 +1 -1 + 1- 1 +1 -1 Ramanujan
