Ramanujan's Lost Notebook: Part IV
Autor George E. Andrews, Bruce C. Berndten Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 iul 2015
This volume is the fourth of five volumes that the authors plan to write on Ramanujan’s lost notebook. In contrast to the first three books on Ramanujan's Lost Notebook, the fourth book does not focus on q-series. Most of the entries examined in this volume fall under the purviews of number theory and classical analysis. Several incomplete manuscripts of Ramanujan published by Narosa with the lost notebook are discussed. Three of the partial manuscripts are on diophantine approximation, and others are in classical Fourier analysisand prime number theory. Most of the entries in number theory fall under the umbrella of classical analytic number theory. Perhaps the most intriguing entries are connected with the classical, unsolved circle and divisor problems.
Review from the second volume:
"Fans of Ramanujan's mathematics are sure to be delighted by this book. While some of the content is taken directly from published papers, most chapters contain new material and some previously published proofs have been improved. Many entries are just begging for further study and will undoubtedly be inspiring research for decades to come. The next installment in this series is eagerly awaited."

Review from the first volume:
"Andrews and Berndt are to be congratulated on the job they are doing. This is the first step...on the way to an understanding of the work of the genius Ramanujan. It should act as an inspiration to future generations of mathematicians to tackle a job that willnever be complete."

Textul de pe ultima copertă
In the spring of 1976, George Andrews of Pennsylvania State University visited the library at Trinity College, Cambridge, to examine the papers of the late G.N. Watson. Among these papers, Andrews discovered a sheaf of 138 pages in the handwriting of Srinivasa Ramanujan. This manuscript was soon designated, "Ramanujan's lost notebook." Its discovery has frequently been deemed the mathematical equivalent of finding Beethoven's tenth symphony.
This volume is the fourth of five volumes that the authors plan to write on Ramanujan’s lost notebook. In contrast to the first three books on Ramanujan's Lost Notebook, the fourth book does not focus on q-series. Most of the entries examined in this volume fall under the purviews of number theory and classical analysis. Several incomplete manuscripts of Ramanujan published by Narosa with the lost notebook are discussed. Three of the partial manuscripts are on diophantine approximation, and others are in classical Fourier analysisand prime number theory. Most of the entries in number theory fall under the umbrella of classical analytic number theory. Perhaps the most intriguing entries are connected with the classical, unsolved circle and divisor problems.

Many entries are just begging for further study and will undoubtedly be inspiring research for decades to come. The next installment in this series is eagerly awaited."

Caracteristici
Fourth volume of a series of five volumes including some of Ramanujan's deepest work in the last year of his life Contains material of which mathematicians currently lack a complete understanding Focuses on claims in classical analysis and classical analytic number theory found in "The Lost Notebook and Other Unpublished Papers" Two key results show that Ramanujan had a strong interest in the classical circle and divisor problems Although Ramanujan never published any papers in diophantine approximation, three of the partial manuscripts are on this subject Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
This is the second of approximately four volumes that the authors plan to write in their examination of all the claims made by S. Ramanujan in The Lost Notebook and Other Unpublished Papers. This volume, published by Narosa in 1988, contains the “Lost Notebook,” which was discovered by the ?rst author in the spring of 1976 at the library of Trinity College, Cambridge. Also included in this publication are other partial manuscripts, fragments, and letters that Ramanujan wrote to G. H. Hardy from nursing homes during 1917–1919. The authors have attempted to organize this disparate material in chapters. This second volume contains 16 chapters comprising 314 entries, including some duplications and examples, with chapter totals ranging from a high of ?fty-four entries in Chapter 1 to a low of two entries in Chapter 12.

Recenzii
From the reviews: “This volume contains 16 chapters comprising 314 entries. The material is arranged thematically with the main topics being some of Ramanujan’s favorites q series theta functions … . the authors treatment is extremely thorough. Each chapter contains an introduction with appropriate background. References to all other known proofs of the entries are provided. … Fans of Ramanujan’s mathematics are sure to be delighted by this book. … Many entries are just begging for further study and will undoubtedly be inspiring research for decades to come.” (Jeremy Lovejoy, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2010 f)
