Littlewood raises doubts about parts of Ramanujan’s work, and some of his results are found to be incorrect. Ramanujan is anxious to see his discoveries published, but experiences frustration due to Hardy’s insistence on rigorous proof. Hardy is joined at times by his Trinity colleague and close collaborator John Littlewood (Toby Jones). But there is considerable tension between their approaches: the untutored genius Ramanujan, with his intuition and inspiration the dry, crusty Hardy, traditionally educated and steeped in the formality and rigour of the professional mathematician. In Cambridge, Hardy and Ramanujan collaborate, with the first world war as backdrop. Ramanujan leaves his wife and mother behind, and does not return to India until 1919.
