The Man Who Knew Infinity

 

It is currently showing at our ArcLight Theater, Hollywood. http://www.fandango.com/themanwhoknewinfinity_190784/movieoverview 

The Man Who Knew Infinity is based on the true story of Indian mathematical genius, Srinivasa
Ramanujan.  Written and directed by Matthew Brown, The Man Who Knew Infinity is the true story of friendship that forever changed mathematics. In 1913, Ramanujan (Dev Patel, SAG Award™ nominee for Slumdog Millionaire), a self-taught Indian mathematics genius traveled to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he forged a bond with his mentor, the brilliant, eccentric professor G. H. Hardy (Jeremy Irons, Academy Award™ winner for Reversal of Fortune), and fought against prejudice to reveal his mathematical genius to the world. Based on the biography, “The Man Who Knew Infinity” by Robert Kanigel.

The film was advised by mathematicians and INFINITY Associate Producers, Manjul Bhargava (R. Brandon Fradd Professor of Mathematics at Princeton University, Fields Medal recipient 2014) and Ken Ono (Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at Emory University).

The Man Who Knew Infinity brings forth the ancient traditions of Hinduism. Ramanujan was an Iyengar Brahmin, his culture was closely linked to his birthplace in Tamil Nadu in South India.

The film opens in the United States on April 29, 2016. As anticipation of the film’s release builds, we ask you to please share, support and celebrate Ramanujan’s story with colleagues, family and friends using the links below:

The life of Srinivasa Ramanujan is a fascinating, true story about an amazing genius who made astonishing contributions to mathematics. During his short lifetime of 32 years, he compiled nearly 39,000 mathematical equations, he has influenced work in number theory, infinite series, continued fractions, string theory, black holes, and quantum gravity. His work continues to be studied by the brightest minds today.
