Answer 1

Srinavasa Iyengar Ramanujan spent nearly 5 years in Cambridge and collaborated with the famous mathematicians of the world. A part of his findings was also published in England. He was awarded a B.A. degree in March 1916 for his job on highly composite numbers that was published as a paper in the Journal of the London Mathematical Society. He was elected to the London Mathematical Society on 6th December 1917. He was also elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1918 for his investigation in Elliptic Functions and the Theory of Numbers. He was the second Indian to become a Fellow and also one of the youngest Fellows in the entire history of the Royal Society. Ramanujan also became the first Indian to be elected a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge for his contribution in developing the Number Theory, on 13th of October, 1918.

Ramanujan was diagnosed with tuberculosis and a severe vitamin deficiency and was confined to a hospital. After suffering from various diseases for some months, Srinavasa Iyengar Ramanujan eventually came back to India on 27th of March, 1919. He received a grand welcome. Unfortunately, he died on 26th of April, 1920, at the age of 32 years.

The Government of India has issued a commemorative stamp to pay tribute and honour the 75th anniversary birth of Ramanujan in 1962. Tamil Nadu celebrates his birthday as the State IT Day. The Ramanujan Journal was launched as an international publication, which included his work in areas of mathematics.
