And, more importantly, a scholarship allowing him to study at the Government Arts College in the town of Kumbakonam.
Despite being a mathematical prodigy, Ramanujan's career did not begin well.

The idea of representing all the numbers with just ten symbols seems "natural" today, but perhaps this system is one of the most overlooked contribution of Indian mathematics!
As the great mathematician Laplace said “The ingenious method of expressing every possible number using a set of ten symbols emerged in India. The idea seems so simple nowadays that its significance and profound importance is no longer appreciated.”
Today is 131st birthday of #Ramanujan, celebrated as #NationalMathematicsDay in India.
This year is also the 100th anniversary of his election as FRS.
131 is a palindromic and permutable prime with 113 and 311.
Can also be stated as the sum of 3 consecutive primes 41 + 43 + 47.

#Ramanujan's letter to Hardy is an all-time classic -
"I beg to introduce myself to you as a clerk"
"I have no University education"
"I have not trodden through the conventional ... but I am striking out a new path"
"I have made a special investigation of divergent series"
