	SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN
		As a college dropout from a poor family, Ramanujan's position was precarious.
		Ramanujan's years in England were mathematically productive, and he gained the recognition he hoped for.
		Ramanujan had always lived in a tropical climate and had his mother (later his wife) to cook for him: now he faced the English winter, and he had to do all his own cooking to adhere to his caste's strict dietary rules.

		Ramanujan, born in Mysore, India in 1929, came to the U.S. in 1959, where he remained until his death in Chicago on July 13, 1993 (Ramazani, 1988).
		Ramanujan's ultimate answer to the title question is yes; it is what he calls "context-sensitive" as opposed to "context-free." These terms, he takes from linguistics, in which they refer to different kinds of grammatical rules.
		While Reviewer Geeta Patel agrees with King's description of Ramanujan's work, she faults King for failing "to plumb the ramifications of exilic writing and the reconstruction or retrieval of the fantasies of tradition...that are characteristic of writing in a postcolonial transnational world" (Patel, 1992:961).

		Ramanujan was shown how to solve cubic equations in 1902 and he went on to find his own method to solve the quartic equation.
		This book, with its very concise style, allowed Ramanujan to teach himself mathematics, but the style of the book was to have a rather unfortunate effect on the way Ramanujan was later to write down mathematics since it provided the only model that he had of written mathematical arguments.
		In 1918, Ramanujan was elected a fellow of the Cambridge Philosophical Society and a fellow of the Royal Society.

		This is a dull number." Ramanujan replied: "No, it is a very interestin g number; it is the smallest number expressible as a sum of two cubes in two different ways." Berndt believes that this was no flash of insight, as is commonly thought.
		After Ramanujan's death in 1920, the three notebooks and a sheaf of papers that he left behind were handed over to the University of Madras.
		Ramanujan had a number of conjectures in regard to this formula and one is still unproven.

		By contrast, Ramanujan was relatively shy, unevenly educated, impoverished, overweight and tubercular, and largely indifferent to the needs and methods of modern abstract proof; he was also a devout Hindu and absolute vegetarian.
		Ramanujan often claimed that his insights came to him in his sleep, and were due to the inspiration of his family's personal deity.
