Abstract
Though he was without a college degree and had essentially no formal training in mathematics, Ramanujan had accumulated a massive collection of formulas, all recorded in his notebooks without proof. Eager to share his work with others, he began to publish some of his findings, beginning in 1911 by submitting problems to the Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society. At first, nobody paid attention, or at least no one was able to solve his problems. For example, one of the problems that he challenged readers to solve was to find the value ofWhat number was represented by this infinite nested square root?
$$ \sqrt{1+2\sqrt{1+3\sqrt{1+\cdots }}}. $$
