N2  - "This picture book biography follows a brilliant South Indian mathematician whose love of numbers spurred him to ask big questions and make incredible discoveries. The book's back matter includes an author's note, a glossary of Ramanujan's world, and mathematical content about number patterns and magic squares"--; "A memorable, inspiring introduction to a groundbreaking figure in STEM history. Growing up in southern India during British rule, Srinivasa Ramanujan was fascinated by numbers: they made patterns only he could see. Soon he spent as much time as he could in the world of mathematics, exploring concepts and trying to publish his ideas. In 1914, twenty-six-year-old Ramanujan sailed to England to work with the acclaimed mathematician G.H. Hardy. Cambridge University was so different from home, but Ramanujan's love of numbers kept him going. He had big questions to ask-and important discoveries to make! This captivating biography follows the short but brilliant life of a man recognized as a genius in his time and our own. With bright, occasionally amusing art and compelling back matter, Friend of Numbers is an unforgettable portrait of one of history's most incredible mathematical minds"--
