After 56 years of Ramanujan’s death, one of his notebooks came to the fore, in which many equations given by Ramanujan are still being studied, because his theses are quite astonishing.

It is said that he used to wake up suddenly in the night and start writing mathematical formulas and then used to sleep, seeing which it seemed that he used to solve mathematical problems in his dreams. But Ramanujan’s method of solving mathematical formulas is an inexplicable puzzle or some divine power also remains a puzzle.

The reason for this is that even without any formal studies of mathematics, Ramanujan solved the most difficult and many old problems of mathematics.
