Professor P.P. Vaidyanathan, California Institute of Technology Title: Srinivasa Ramanujan and Signal Processing Abstract: The great mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan introduced a summation in 1918, today called the Ramanujan-sum. For many years this summation was used by mathematicians to prove important results in number theory. In recent years, some researchers have found applications of this sum in digital […]
