Very nice write-up. As an Indian, I grew up hearing about stories of Ramanujan, but never understood what it is that he did, or how he did it. I think Wolfram is perfect person to show us behind the curtain. For example, I remember hearing that Ramanujan stated some theorems that people in the west are still trying to prove. I didn't know what to make of it. Wolfram nicely showed the iterative (and approximate) approaches Ramanujan took to achieve this.
