"Ramanujan was a man who encountered unimaginable difficulties in his life and still triumphed. His devotion to mathematics and his contributions will continue to inspire generations of mathematicians to come," Chandy said while releasing the Malayalam translation of Robert Kanigel's biography The Man Who Knew Infinity: A Life of the Genius Ramanujan.
The book is a joint project of the Srinivasa Ramanujan Institute of Basic Sciences (SRIBS) - a capacity building initiative of the KSCSTE - and the State Institute of Languages, with the support of the Ramanujan Mathematical Society.
