我很喜欢 Robert Kanigel 写的传记——《知无涯者：拉马努金传》（The Man Who Knew Infinity: A Life of the Genius Ramanujan）。推荐给想进一步了解这位数学天才的人。
I loved reading Robert Kanigel's biography - "The Man Who Knew Infinity: A Life of the Genius Ramanujan." Recommended for people who want to know more about the genius mathematician.
……人类有史以来最深刻的数学洞见。人们至今仍在试图搞清楚他写下的那些东西究竟意味着什么。如果你想多了解他的一生，有本很棒的书叫《知无涯者》（The Man who Knew Infinity）(http://www.amazon.com/The-Man-Who-Knew-Infinity/dp/067175061...)
…deepest mathematical insights of anyone who existed. People are still trying to figure out what the things he wrote down meant. If you want to know more about his life, there's a great book called "The Man who Knew Infinity" (http://www.amazon.com/The-Man-Who-Knew-Infinity/dp/067175061...)
我读了拉马努金的传记《知无涯者》（The Man Who Knew Infinity），读起来太棒了。http://www.amazon.com/Man-Who-Knew-Infinity-Ramanujan/dp/068... 一定要看看亚马逊的相关推荐，感觉有一整套很棒的书。
I read "The Man Who Knew Infinity" - Ramanujan's biography and it was fantastic read. http://www.amazon.com/Man-Who-Knew-Infinity-Ramanujan/dp/068... Do check out recommendations by Amazon, seems like a great set of books.
……年。如果他能多活些岁月，本可以成就何等伟业，这对数学界乃至人类探索真理的征程来说都是极大的悲剧。如果你感兴趣，这里有一本很棒的传记：https://www.amazon.com/Man-Who-Knew-Infinity-Ramanujan/dp/14...
…years. What he could have accomplished, had he lived, is a tragedy of the first order to mathematics and the human quest for truth. Here is a good biography if you are interested: https://www.amazon.com/Man-Who-Knew-Infinity-Ramanujan/dp/14...
……当你大致了解了他们的职业生涯简况后，这本书绝对值得一读。我自己对数学极度痴迷，超爱这本拉马努金传记——《知无涯者：拉马努金传》（The Man Who Knew Infinity: A Life of the Genius Ramanujan）。ISBN:0671750615
…It definitely would be a good read once you are through with the brief introduction into their professional lives. I myself being too obsessed with mathematics loved this biography of Ramanujan - The Man Who Knew Infinity: A Life of the Genius Ramanujan. ISBN:0671750615
……以及 (2) Michael Lewis 写的《新新事物》（The New New Thing），讲的是 Jim Clark。还有两本虽然硬核内容（即数学本身）不多，但总能激发我内心那个想成为数学家的孩童般好奇心的书：(1) Robert Kanigel 写的关于拉马努金的《知无涯者》（The Man Who Knew Infinity），以及 (2) Paul Hoffman 写的关于保罗·埃尔德什的《爱数成痴的人》（The Man Who Loved Only Numbers）。
…and (2) The New New Thing by Michael Lewis, about Jim Clark And two that, while light on content (i.e. math), never fail to stimulate the childlike nature of my inner aspiring mathematician: (1) The Man Who Knew Infinity by Robert Kanigel, on Ramanujan and (2) The Man Who Loved Only Numbers by Paul Hoffman, on Paul Erdos.
