Ramanujan Machine Developed by Israel
Scientists from Technion — Israel Institute of Technology have developed a concept they have named the Ramanujan Machine, after the Indian mathematician. It is not really a machine but an algorithm, and performs a very unconventional function.
What it does?
- Reverse Problem Solving: With most computer programs, humans input a problem and expect the algorithm to work out a solution. With the Ramanujan Machine, it works the other way round.
- Create Equation: Feed in a constant, say the well-known ‘pi’, and the algorithm will come up with an equation involving an infinite series whose value, it will propose, is exactly ‘pi’.
