| Abstract: |
|---|
| A few formulas from Ramanujan's Lost Notebook are
incorrect. Do correct versions exist? Some claims from the lost
notebook remain unproved. Perhaps members from the audience can
help to supply proofs? Some entries from the lost notebook are
surprising. For example, Dickman's famous function from prime
number theory is in Ramanujan's lost notebook and was used by him
to prove asymptotic formulas later rediscovered by others. A
couple of formulas from the lost notebook have recently generated
several further beautiful analogues and generalizations. All these and
other entries will be discussed. |
