�His memory, and his powers of calculation, were very unusual, butthey could not be reasonably be called �abnormal�. If he had tomultiply two very large numbers, he multiplied them in the ordinaryway; he would do it with unusual rapidity and accuracy, but notmore rapidly than any mathematician who is naturally quick andhas the habit of computation. There is a table of partitions at theend of our paper. . . . This was, for the most part, calculatedindependently by Ramanujan and Major MacMahon; and MajorMacMahon was, in general the slightly quicker and more accurateof the two.�

�He returned from England only to die, as the saying goes. He livedfor less than a year. Throughout this period, I lived with himwithout break. He was only skin and bones. He often complainedof severe pain. In spite of it he was always busy doing hisMathematics. That, evidently helped him to forget the pain. I usedto gather the sheets of papers which he �lled up. I would also givethe slate whenever he asked for it. He was uniformly kind to me. Inhis conversation he was full of wit and humour. Even while mortallyill, he used to crack jokes. One day he con�ded in me that hemight not live beyond thirty-�ve and asked me to meet the eventwith courage and fortitude. He was well looked after by his friends.He often used to repeat his gratitude to all those who had helpedhim in his life.�

UNIVERSITY OF MADRAS,12th January 1920.
I am extremely sorry for not writing you a single letter up to now. . . . I discovered very interesting functions recently which I call�Mock� θ-functions. Unlike the �False� θ-functions (studiedpartially by Prof. Rogers in his interesting paper) they enter intomathematics as beautifully as the ordinary θ-functions. I amsending you with this letter some examples . . . .Mock θ-functions

When the Royal Society asked me to write G. N. Watson'sobituary memoir I wrote to his widow to ask if I could examine hispapers. She kindly invited me to lunch and afterwards his son tookme upstairs to see them. They covered the �oor of a fair sizedroom to a depth of about a foot, all jumbled together, and were tobe incinerated in a few days. One could make lucky dips and, asWatson never threw anything away, the result might be a sheet ofmathematics but more probably a receipted bill or a draft of hisincome tax for 1923. By extraordinary stroke of luck one of my dipsbrought up the Ramanujan material which Hardy must have passedon to him when he proposed to edit the earlier notebooks.

I hold in fact:That there exists an arithmetical coe�cient similar to, but morerecondite than, the rank of a partition; I shall call this hypotheticalcoe�cient the �crank� of the partition, and denote by M(m, q, n)the number of partitions of n whose crank is congruent to mmodulo q:
that M(m, q, n) = M(q −m, q, n);that M(0, 11, 11n + 6) = M(1, 11, 11n + 6) =
M(2, 11, 11n + 6) = M(3, 11, 11n + 6) = M(4, 11, 11n + 6);
...
Whether these quesses are warranted by the evidence, I leave to thereader to decide. Whatever the �nal verdict of posterity may be, Ibelieve the �crank� is unique among arithmetical functions in havingbeen named before it was discovered. May it be preserved from theignominious fate of the planet Vulcan!

FRANK GARVAN'S PH.D THESIS IS DEVOTED TO ANEXPANDED STUDY OF THIS PAGE AND PROOF OF THEIDENTITIES. HE NOTES THAT THEATKIN/SWINNERTON-DYER PROOF OF DYSON'SCONJECTURE IS ESSENTIALLY EQUIVALENT TO THEIDENTITY FOR f (q).

EVEN MORE SURPRISING, GARVAN REVEALS THAT F (q)CONTAINS WITHIN IT, THE CONJECTURED CRANK,FAMOUSLY PREDICTED BY DYSON.
