Ramanujan's First Papers Published in Pune Journal

Ramanujan's First Papers Published in Pune Journal

Srinivasa Ramanujan, a famous mathematician, started his career by publishing his first paper in a journal called the Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society (JIMS) in Pune.

This journal was started by V Ramaswami Aiyar in 1907.

Ramanujan's first paper was published in 1911, and he went on to publish many more papers in this journal.

One of his notable works was an approximate solution to the problem of Squaring the Circle, which was very accurate.

The Indian Mathematical Society, which publishes JIMS, has faced some operational challenges but continues to be respected in the mathematical community.

They are planning to build a new office called Ganit Bavan in Pune.
