A First Class Man:

ALTEREGO Productions presents David Freeman's A First Class Man, the story of Srinivasa Ramanujan, a shipping clerk living in India in the 1910s who possessed an innate genius and a full time passion for producing complex mathematical theorems and equations but who had no formal training. Was he a fraud? Not according to the eminent British mathematician and Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, G.H.. Hardy, who recognizes Ramanujan's talent and invites him to come to Cambridge. One problem: Ramanujan's strict religious orthodoxy forbids him to travel overseas. A First Class Man explores the complex and dysfunctional relationship between Hardy's precise world of mathematics and scientific orthodoxy that clashes with Ramanujan's more intuitive and spiritual relationship with numbers.
