Learn the true story of Ramanujan during the Math & Diversity Movie Evening on 18th December 2023 at 5PM in R 611.

What does it take to prove the Impossible? Join our Math & Diversity Movie Evening and Learn the True Story of Ramanujan.

Ramanujan, a brilliant mind from impoverished Madras, India, manages to capture the interest of renowned British mathematician G.H. Hardy. Invited to Trinity College, Cambridge, Ramanujan has to face many prejudices and cultural clashes struggling to publish theories and formulas that will change the world of mathematics forever...

Before: A short introduction by Dr. Anna von Pippich (Number Theorist)

After: Discussions over snacks and drinks. Is discrimination still present in the world of science?
