Despite the universal numeracy requirement that students may plod through from pre-school to kindergarten, it\u2019s safe to assume that most people have no idea what pure math is all about.\u00a0 This is true as well for the people in India that form one subject of writer-director Matthew Brown in \u201cThe Man Who Knew Infinity,\u201d based on Robert Kanigel\u2019s book, The Man Who Knew Infinity: A Life of the Genius Ramanujan.\u00a0 One answer proposed by the story is that pure mathematics is like a painting without the color, which makes the subject perhaps as abstract as fine music.\u00a0 Brown\u2019s biopic of Srinivas Ramanujan, who died at the age of 32 of tuberculosis after leaving behind several notebooks of proofs that some thought impossible, shows the man as a poor Brahmin from Madras living with his mother (Arundhati Nag) and wife Janaki (Devika Bhise). Ramanujan is so absorbed in math that he seems to care nothing about his poverty-stricken surroundings but shows great love for his pretty wife (which is more than his mother can do).<\/p>\n

In 1913 Ramanujan (Dev Patel), working as an accountant in Madras with a boss who is aware of his ability with numbers, sends a letter across the seas to G.H. Hardy (Jeremy Irons) at Trinity College in Cambridge, England with a segment of his notebooks and receives an invitation to go to the university to continue his work.\u00a0 His hair newly cut, he leaves by boat despite his mother\u2019s warnings that travel across the ocean is forbidden, showing up in G.H. Hardy\u2019s studio dressed with a bespoke suit.\u00a0 When Hardy, an atheist, asks where Ramanujan gets his formulas, particularly since he is unable to show the process, the Indian replies that his god informs him while he is sleeping or praying.\u00a0 Hardy is a stranger to any theory that cannot be proven and repeatedly insists that Ramanujan supply the steps he takes (which is also a requirement in American schools that insist \u201cshow your work.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the England of 1914 on the cusp of war, Ramanujan is met with expected hostility, in one case coming from a professor whom he shows up and is thrown out of the classroom and also from some members of the general population who call him a Wog and tell him to go home.\u00a0 Surviving one serious beating by soldiers who don\u2019t know why they are sent to the front while this guest is living in relative luxury, Ramanujan sets about thinking up original formulas.<\/p>\n

The major theme of the film is the friendship of Ramanujan with the curmudgeon Hardy, who simply cannot understand where his prot\u00e9g\u00e9 gets his information.\u00a0 Hardy has his traditional pals in Prof. Littlewood (Toby Jones), who is Sancho Panza to Hardy\u2019s Don Quixote, and is jokingly referred to as a figment in Hardy\u2019s imagination.\u00a0 This friendship is wholly credible as Ramanujan is fluent with the language of his adopted country albeit not with the King\u2019s English spoken by pipe-smoking Hardy.<\/p>\n

Dev Patel\u2019s incredible performance as the poverty stricken resident of Mumbai seeking to win a huge jackpot in Danny Boyle\u2019s 2008 film \u201cSlumdog Millionaire\u201d makes him the obvious choice here. He unfolds a performance as a young man who may well be considered arrogant by mathematicians envious of Ramanujan\u2019s God-given brilliance.\u00a0 We find a country whose class-centered society exists still, though perhaps by now some of the professors at Trinity are women.\u00a0 The dialogue rises to gentle wit particularly with the exchanges between Bertrand Russell (Jeremy Northam) and G.H. Hardy, and despite Ramanujan\u2019s death at 32, we leave the theater feeling good.<\/p>\n

Rated PG-13.\u00a0 108 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n
