Re: [math-fun] about Ramanujan

BTW: in the film they consistently pronounce Ramanujan like "ra-ma-new-jun", which was how I originally learnt to pronounce it, before I was corrected(?) by someone to say it "raman-uh-jun". Does anyone know the definitive way?

The latter sounds right to me. My wife was a Tamilian Indian -- her "surname" (actually her father's name) was Rajagopalan, pronounced "raja-go-palun". But said very quickly, with almost no pause between syllables. Andrew
