Numbers and Nerves: The Creative Struggles of Srinivasa Ramanujan
Description
In this episode of The Mad Genius Thesis Podcast, we explore The Man Who Knew Infinity by Robert Kanigel, the extraordinary story of Srinivasa Ramanujan, a self-taught mathematical genius whose intuitive brilliance reshaped the field. Despite his astonishing insights, Ramanujan faced cultural displacement, health struggles, and the pressures of academia when he moved from India to Cambridge. How did his isolation, mental strain, and fragile health intersect with his creative genius? Was his obsession with numbers and spiritual approach to mathematics both a gift and a burden? Join us as we examine the delicate balance between mental health, intellectual brilliance, and the cost of pushing the limits of human thought.
