This comprehensive index provides a structured roadmap to everything related to The Man Who Knew Infinity —from the seminal biography and film to the deep mathematical concepts Ramanujan left behind. 1. The Biographical Index (Robert Kanigel’s Book) A staunch atheist and rigorous pure mathematician
Our analysis proceeds in three parts. First, we quantify the index’s entries by category (people, places, mathematical concepts, etc.). Second, we examine notable omissions and imbalances. Third, we compare Kanigel’s index to a hypothetical “mathematical index” derived from Ramanujan’s notebooks. We conclude that the index prioritizes narrative and social context over technical content, a choice that democratizes Ramanujan’s story but risks obscuring the very infinity he knew.
