Great Mathematicians, Great Mathematics
Hardy, Littlewood, Cartwright and Ramanujan by Professor Raymond Flood. The collaboration between G.H. Hardy (1877-1947) and J.E. Littlewood (1885-1977) was the most productive in mathematical history. Dominating the English mathematical scene for the first half of the 20th century, they obtained results of great influence, most notably in analysis and number theory. Into their world came the brilliant and intuitive mathematician, Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920), who left India to work with Hardy until his untimely death at the age of 32. (from gresham.ac.uk)
