Ramanujan's sum

In number theory, Ramanujan's sum, usually denoted cq(n), is a function of two positive integer variables q and n defined by the formula where (a, q) = 1 means that a only takes on values coprime to q. Srinivasa Ramanujan mentioned the sums in a 1918 paper. In addition to the expansions discussed in this article, Ramanujan's sums are used in the proof of Vinogradov's theorem that every sufficiently large odd number is the sum of three primes.

Ramanujan: Making sense of 1+2+3+... = -1/12 and Co.

The Mathologer sets out to make sense of 1+2+3+ ... = -1/12 and some of those other notorious, crazy-looking infinite sum identities. The starting point for this video is the famous letter that led to the discovery of self-taught mathematical genius Srinivasa Ramanujan in 1913 (Ramanujan i

Ramanujan Integral

In this video, I evaluate the integral from 0 to infinity of e^(-x^3) sin(x^3) dx using a very nice formula due to Ramanujan, which relates integrals of the form x^s f(x) with a sort of power series of f. Enjoy! Note: I would like to thank philosophicalmath for this idea, you should check
