Step-by-step explanation:
Ramanujan was born in Erode on December 22, 1887, in his grandmother’s house. Furthermore, he went to primary school in Kumbakonamwas when he was five years old. Moreover, he would attend several different primary schools before his entry took place to the Town High School in Kumbakonam in January 1898.
At the Town High School, Ramanujan proved himself as a talented student and did well in all of his school subjects. In 1900, he became involved with mathematics and began summing geometric and arithmetic series on his own.
In the Town High School, Ramanujan began reading a mathematics book called ‘Synopsis of Elementary Results in Pure Mathematics’. Furthermore, this book was by G. S. Carr.
With the help of this book, Ramanujan began to teach himself mathematics. Furthermore, the book contained theorems, formulas and short proofs. It also contained an index to papers on pure mathematics.
