Mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan discovered almost 4,000 theorems ahead of their time.
Many results were so advanced that they were proved only years after his death.
His work became part of modern mathematics and physics, like fractals, modular forms, string theory, and black hole studies.

Chellie loved life. She loved music,
art and people. She especially
adored her husband, her sister,
her children and grandchildren.
She was warm, kind and generous.
She was loved by all who met her.

Albert Einstein developed the theory of relativity.
He won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics.
His equation E = mcΒ² changed the physics.
He declined Israelβs presidency in 1952.
Einstein valued science, peace, and curiosity.

A function given by f(x) = xΒ³ is called the cube function.
The domain and range of cube are both equal to R.
Since, y = xΒ³ is an odd function, so its graph is symmetrical about opposite quadrant, i.e., "origin", shown as:

March 14 marks both the birth anniversary of Albert Einstein and Pi Day (3.14), celebrating the most famous irrational number in mathematics.
Einsteinβs theories of relativity shaped modern physics, just as Ο to shape geometry, engineering, and countless scientific discoveries.
A good theorem lasts forever. Once proved, it will always stay proved, and other mathematicians are free to use it and build on it as they please, sometimes to great effect.
