Ramanujan recorded five interesting q-series identities in a section that is not as systematically arranged as the other chapters of his second notebook. These five identities do not seem to have acquired enough attention. Recently, Dixit…

We study truncated objects using elementary methods. Concretely, we use universes and the resulting natural number object to define internal truncation levels and prove they behave similar to standard truncated objects. Moreover, we take an…

In his third notebook, Ramanujan claims that $$ \int_0^\infty \frac{\cos(nx)}{x^2+1} \log x \,\mathrm{d} x + \frac{\pi}{2} \int_0^\infty \frac{\sin(nx)}{x^2+1} \mathrm{d} x = 0. $$ In a following cryptic line, which only became visible in a…

Ramanujan's Master theorem states that, under suitable conditions, the Mellin transform of an alternating power series provides an interpolation formula for the coefficients of this series. Ramanujan applied this theorem to compute several…

Real-life conjectures do not come with instructions saying whether they they should be proven or, instead, refuted. Yet, as we now know, in either case the final argument produced had better be not just convincing but actually verifiable in…
