उत्तर
THE MANUSCRIPT
One morning in 1913, Hardy received an envelope from India. It contained many lines of symbols, written in non-English script. The letter with it, written in halting English and signed by an unknown Indian, wanted Hardy's opinion on the mathematical discoveries enclosed. These were only some known and unknown theorems, without any proofs. Hardy, bored and irritated, put the manuscript aside and went to play tennis. However, his pleasure in his game was interrupted by the thought of the Indian manuscript with the wild theorems he had left behind. He wondered if the man was a genius. When he returned to his room, he took another look at the script. Then he sent word to Littlewood that they must have a discussion after hall.
