Srinivasa Ramanujan Aiyangar[a] (22 December 1887 – 26 April 1920) was an Indian mathematician. Often regarded as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, though he had almost no formal training in pure mathematics, he made substantial contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions, including solutions to mathematical problems t

January brought nice surprises to me. I had no idea that two of my favorite mathematicians are born in January and also the birthdays are so close to each other in term of days, obviously not years. Moreover, I have found another interesting mathematician (new to me) which was also born in January. So I thought it is absolutely necessary to write a small post about them.
Joseph-Louis Lagrange, born on 25 January 1736, was an Italian Enlightenment Era mathematician and astronomer. He made significant contributions to the fields of analysis, number theory, and both classical and celestial mechanics.
At first I was surprised to see that he is Italian because all my life I was sure he is French. To my surprise, i have found that he was born in Turin ( the former capital of Italy near the French border) and even did his studies there. His real name was Giuseppe Luigi Lagrangia. He went to university of Turin to become a lawyer, but changed his mind for mathematics when he was 17-18. Quite interesting, but he moved to Berlin first and then much later to Paris at the call of Louis XVI, when he transformed his name to the one we know today.
Lagrange was one of the creators of the calculus of variations, deriving the Euler–Lagrange equations for extrema of functionals. He also e
