Das koloniale Indien des Jahres 1913: Srinivasa Ramanujan ist 25, einfacher Büroangestellter – und ein genialer, intuitiver Mathematiker. Doch weder Familie noch Vorgesetzte würdigen bzw. erkennen, welche Fähigkeit Srinivasa hat. Er wendet sich an den britischen Mathematikprofessor G. H. Hardy, der am Trinity College in Cambridge arbeitet. Hardy merkt schnell, dass ihn ein großes Talent kontaktiert hat. Der Professor holt Srinivasa nach England, gegen Widerstände akademischer Kollegen, und das junge Mathegenie macht Theorien zu Formeln, nach denen die Mathematik nicht mehr so ist wie davor. Doch Srinivasa, der seine Frau Janaki in Indien zurückließ, ist auch im neuen Land ein Außenseiter. Schwer hat er dafür zu kämpfen, seine Ideen in einem abweisenden, elitären Kollegenkreis durchzusetzen, zumal auch die Gesundheit bald streikt...

Sebastian is an undisciplined mathematics genius who works in the "cipher bureau" of the British Intelligence. While cracking enemy codes, Sebastian finds time to romance co-worker Rebecca Howard.
What is striking when you talk with mathematicians is that sparkle in their eyes, and their sudden joyful voice trying to share with you a concept, a theory. They continuously use words such as invention, beauty, freedom. You then ask yourself : how such a rich language, this quasi-philosophical proposition about the world becomes rejected by a majority, 'the only discipline where one prides itself to be bad at it'!

Without us noticing, modern life has been taken over. Algorithms run everything from search engines on the internet to satnavs and credit card data security - they even help us travel the world, find love and save lives. Mathematician Professor Marcus du Sautoy demystifies the hidden world of algorithms. By showing us some of the algorithms most essential to our lives, he reveals where these 2,000-year-old problem solvers came from, how they work, what they have achieved and how they are now so advanced they can even programme themselves.
