Arthur Benjamin, considered by Reader's Digest as "America's Best Math Whiz" talks about SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN brilliance and calls him as the MOST Brilliant Mathematical Minds to walk on the planet and tells the story how Ramanujan explained his friend about the number -1729 and its uniqueness...

False title... why is anyone giving this a thumbs up??
-
1729 My theory, no hardy that no is vry intrsng 1+7+2+9=19 So
ie adding the no will get first and last number -3rd 9-2=7 Nd send 9-7=2 So 1729 -
I am so proud that I was born in the same town where Ramanujan was born! I can't believe such an unbelievable genius existed.
-
I have a lot of amazing theories, but I have very low self esteem.

admin fake news
-
different ppl, different versions of the 1729 story. I guess only after we all die and meet Ramanujan in heaven can we really find the true story behind the 1729 story
-
Is that a tie or has he just been sick?
-
Great

Please sync the audio.

I have no clue why this video has so many likes. I am not being sarcastic I really don't know. Did he explain something extraordinary ?
-
Tamilnadu is here. We will see again very soon.

Imagine how many great mathematicians came and went to their graves undiscovered... their works forever lost to the conscience of sentient men. Unbelievable.
-
it wasn't random actually, Those exact numbers " 9^3 + 10^3 = 12^3 + 1^3 " were found written in his lost where (some people believe) he was trying to prove Fermat's last theorem and it must have been a coincidence that Hardy found that number(1769).
But still remembering the special number out of many is still mind blowing -
Arthur Benjamin:" That is how Mathematicians talk, i.e. they talk about Numbers and Theorems, that is part of their conversation, :)
e.g,
"When Hardy visits Ramanujan in a nursing home, he complains about the boring number of the cab that brought him there. Ramanujan begs to differ: 1,729 is the smallest that is expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways. Today 1,729 is known as the Hardy-Ramanujan number. How does that work, you may be wondering? Like this: 1729 = 13 + 123 = 93 + 103." (3 is a cube). A beautiful anecdote, :) -
But according to the wikipedia he wrote about this number on paper before this incident.

Wow, it's Paul from Wicked Tuna!!!
