How did Ramanujan figure out his efficient series for pi?

Ramanujan's series for the reciprocal of pi involves several really arbitrary-looking integers: 9801, 1103, 26390, and 396. What do these numbers have to do with pi..? I can't imagine what sort of reasoning would prove this. And even more I can't imagine how someone would come up with it to begin with..?

I've heard that Ramanujan found things like this by empirical investigation..?

What was the background of Ramanujan's discovery of the pi formula?

This is the well-known pi formula suggested by Ramanujan (1914).

I have searched for how did he came up with such non-obvious numbers.

Here, it is suggested that the numbers have something to do with

"Monster group, along with certain expressions involving Dedekind eta quotients".

What I want to ask is, was there any related formula for pi (or 1/pi) using a similar technique as Ramanujan?

Or is he just so genius that no other mathematicians before him could possibly come up with the idea?

I am not majoring in math, but I think every mathematical thought has its own background.

p.s. I was asked to move this question to r/learnmath, but I still think this question belongs to r/math?

Gaal is clearly modeled after Ramanujan

Okay, I see where they get the inspiration from for these pastiche of ideas modeled from real life events:

A math prodigy from a third world country immersed in a very traditional religion, being acknowledged by a professor from the "city of machines" (ahem, the industrial revolution) is clearly the story of the unlikely genius of Srinivasa Ramanujan. Godfrey Hardy would be Seldon, an Oxford professor who recognized the extraordinary genius of Ramanujan for solving problems considered impossible to solve without any formal education, as he mostly self-learned math after he was 11 yrs old as he exhausted all the math that his school could ever offer, even exhausting the knowledge that college student could teach him. Hardy invited Ramanujan to Oxford to pursue his talent in advanced math.

And he was a telepath... nah, just kidding. Except that, everything fits like a glove. But that's not all!

Oxford is obviously in England, which is the perfect parallel to Trantor, the heart of the British Empire == heart of the Galactic Empire.

Birthday of Ramanujan

ശ്രീനിവാസ രാമനുജൻ്റെ ജന്മദിനമായ ഇന്ന് ദേശീയ ഗണിത ദിനമാണ്. രാമാനുജനെ കുറിച്ച് പറയുമ്പോ പെട്ടെന്ന് ഓർമ്മ വരുന്ന ഒരു സംഭവമുണ്ട് രാമനുജൻ ഗണിതത്തിൽ അസാമന്യ പ്രതിഭ തെളിയിക്കുകയും പ്രശ്സ്ത ഗണിതതന്ത്രജ്ഞനായ ഹാർഡിയുമായി കത്തിടപാട് നടത്തുകയും ചെയ്തിരുന്നു. തുടർന്ന് രാമാനുജൻ്റെ പ്രതിഭ മനസ്സിലാക്കിയ ഹാർഡി രാമാനുജനെ ഇംഗ്ലണ്ടിലേക്ക് ക്ഷണിച്ചു എന്നാൽ സമുദ്രലംഘനം നിഷിധമായിരുന്നു അയ്യങ്കാർ ബ്രാഹ്മണനായിരുന്ന രാമാനുജന് കടൽ കടക്കാൻ വീട്ടുകാരുടെ അനുവാദം കിട്ടിയില്ല. എറെ പണി പെട്ടും അനുവാദം കിട്ടാതെ ഇരുന്ന രാമാനുജനെ സഹായിച്ചത് സ്വന്തം കുലദേവതയായ നാമഗിരിത്തായാർ എന്ന ദേവി ആയിരുന്നു. അവർ രാമാനുജൻ്റെ അമ്മയുടെ സ്വപ്നത്തിൽ പ്രത്യക്ഷപ്പെട്ട് രാമാനുജനെ കടൽ കടക്കാൻ അനുവാദം കൊടുക്കാനും അതുകാരണം ബ്രാഹ്മണ്യം നഷ്ടപെടില്ല എന്നും ഉറപ്പ് കൊടുത്തത് കൊണ്ട് മാത്രം ലോകത്തിന് ഒരു ഗണിത ശാസ്ത്രജ്ഞനെ കിട്ടി.

നാമഗിരി തായാർക്ക് എല്ലാവരും ഒരു ഓ പോട്

നിങ്ങള് കഴുകനെ പോലെ ഉയർന്നു പറന്നാലും ബ്രാഹ്മണ്യം നിങ്ങളെ ഏറിഞ്ഞു വീഴ്ത്തും എന്ന് ഓർക്കുന്നത് വളരെ നല്ലതാണ്

Prasanth
