G. H. Hardy

Mathematics

G. H. Hardy (Godfrey Harold Hardy, 1877 to 1947) was an English mathematician known for his achievements in number theory and mathematical analysis. In biology he is known for the Hardy-Weinberg principle, a basic principle of population genetics. His 1940 essay A Mathematician's Apology is often considered one of the best insights into the mind of a working mathematician written for the general reader. From 1914 he mentored the Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, and the two became close collaborators, which Hardy regarded as his greatest contribution to mathematics. He studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, and held the Sadleirian Professorship at Cambridge until 1942.
