Fermat did all that before it was poo.

>> No.9471568

in terms of pure mathematical ability he was... he might of also been the greatest of all time in ability with the likes of gauss and euler

but in terms of accomplishments/legacy he didn't really push math foward

Grothendieck, for example was a much more influential mathematician in the 20th century?

what makes Grothendieck more influential than Ramanujan?

In terms of talent, the mathematicians who worked with Ramanujan considered him king. They considered him more talented than even Hilbert.
However he was also ignorant and nothing can change that.

is he above grothendieck?

it's pretty clear at this point that only mediocre mathematicians devote their lives to that kind of hair-splitting

Its like being the king of /pol/. You know everything but it has no real world application.

this implies that people on /pol/ know anything

He was a "human calculator", not sure if I would categorize that as "talent in math". Euler was a "human calculator" too, but also pushed math forward.

>>9471582
There is an army of mathematicians working in algebraic geometry. But who is working with some strange looking contiued fractions, ugly nested radicals or miraculous series which are equal to something with Pi in it? The only "interesting" thing I associate with Ramanujan is the partition function.

No. Just another SJW nazi thing abusing their power to push their agenda.
In my opinion Paul Dirac. Who pretty much had to reinvent maths to get people to understand him. Took even Einstein like half a year.

There is no such thing. It's a pleonasm like "white snow".

It's called English.
