520 _aRamanujan occupies a unique place in analytic number theory. His formulas, identities, and calculations are still amazing three-quarters of a century after his death. Many of his discoveries seem to have appeared as if from the ether. The author collects twelve of his own lectures on topics stemming from Ramanujan's life and work.
