Abstract
Hardy had judged Ramanujan worthy and had invited him into the community of professional mathematicians. Eighty years later, Andrew Granville extended such an invitation to me, and like the earlier pair, we collaborated on research. When we had completed our one joint project, Andrew encouraged me to take aim at some well-known unsolved problems. My year at UGA was an important transition, one that I like to think of as somewhat analogous to Ramanujan’s first days in Cambridge. We both had a lot to learn about the world of professional mathematics, and we both had mentors to guide our way.
