G. H. Hardy (7 Feb 1877 - 1 Dec 1947) was an eccentric British mathematician who worked extensively in mathematical analysis and analytical number theory alongside J.E Littlewood. He is perhaps even better known for his adoption and mentoring of the self-taught Indian mathematical genius, Srinivasa Ramanujan.

In all of mathematical literature, there's nothing quite like Hardy. If you have done mathematics for a while, you will have seen all of these topics before, but perhaps never with the amount of constant inspiration and consideration that Hardy brings to every sentence. Hardy was the man who brought rigor into British mathematics, and this is the prime text of that school. Fascinating as a historical document, and unfailingly enlightening on its own even after so many decades of familiarity, it is a great Summer Read.
