This Biography Magic Square<\/a> summarizes the important events that in the life of\u00a0Sri Srinivasa Ramanujan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How it was constructed:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Important dates in the life of Ramanujan were taken, two digits at a time, representing either the date or the month or the first or second part of the four-digit year. As an example, Ramanujan’s birth-day 22-12-1887 is taken in four separate entries as 22 12 18 87. These were then laid out in the top of the Magic Square, in the first column. Then, a complete Magic Square was built on top of these numbers, with the following additional feature : each\u00a0\u00a0square indicated by a separate color (in this case, there are 4 such 4×4 sub-sqaures), which are magic squares themselves!<\/p>\n
