mathematics summing geometric and arithmetic series. Ramanujan was shown how to solve cubic equations in 1902 and he went on to find his own method to solve the quartic. It was in the Town High School that Ramanujan came across a mathematics book by G. S. Carr called Synopsis of Elementary Results in Pure Mathematics. Ramanujan used this to teach himself mathematics.

allowed actors to enter and exit the stage. Although it didn't fit at first, it became effective as the play progressed and the acting style became more non-naturalistic. Screens were also used to alternate between scenes of Ramanujan in India and G.H Hardy in Cambridge. The use of imagery was key in the final scene, where Al lets go of the past and moves on. The sand poured out by each character symbolized the passing of time and connected the past and present, which was the key to the whole play.

The Red Room I am writing an essay, based on the story ‘The Red Room’, and will try to explain what makes it such a good mystery story. Some of the main reasons for why it’s a great story include the vocabulary and words the author has used and the setting that the story is created in.

We have spent many a millennia trying to precariously balance ourselves between light and dark, good and evil, and this is not likely to ever change. In The Time Machine, H.G.

Roth is stating that utopian and dystopian literature is based on discussing conflict from the story, so it is necessary for there to be conflict worth talking about in the story.
