PIMS Public Screening: The Man Who Knew Infinity

Part two of the Ramanujan series:

"The Man Who Knew Infinity" is the true story of a friendship that forever changed mathematics. In 1913, Srinivasa Ramanujan (Dev Patel), a self-taught Indian mathematical genius, traveled to Trinity College, Cambridge, where over the course of five years, he forged a bond with his mentor, the brilliant and eccentric professor, G.H. Hardy (Jeremy Irons), and fought against prejudice to reveal his mathematical genius to the world. The film also stars Devika Bhise, Stephen Fry and Toby Jones. This is Ramanujan's story as seen through Hardy's eyes.

Seats for this screening are limited. No payment is required, though particpants should RSVP through the Registration link below. (This will open on November 4, 2016).
