Hardy's Role

Hardy recognized Ramanujan's genius, helped bring him to Cambridge and collaborated on major work such as partition asymptotics.

Littlewood's Presence

Littlewood is part of the Cambridge mathematical setting and should be visible beside Hardy in the collaboration story.

Different Strengths

The collaboration joined Ramanujan's extraordinary intuition with Cambridge standards of proof, exposition and publication.
