My personal theory, which you do not have to accept, is that Ramanujan was able to train a set of neurons in his head to perform "long division", whereupon he could read off the answers. If you look at all of his amazing formuls, you eventually get the inkling that they all seem to be of the form of quotients of polynomial series; that they were all arrived at by factorization. This is particularly evident for the results in modular forms and functions. --linas ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=53159077-e07344
