The first part of Chapter 16 in Ramanujan's second notebook is devoted to q-series. Several of the results obtained by Ramanujan are classical, but many are new. In particular, certain elegant q-continued fraction expansions have not appeared heretofore in print. In the remainder of this chapter, Ramanujan develops the theory of the classical theta-functions in a manner different from his nineteenth century predecessors such as Jacobi. Although many of Ramanujan's discoveries about theta-functions are well-known, several new results are also to be found.

Upon Ramanujans death in 1920, G. H. Hardy strongly urged that Ramanujans notebooks be published and edited. In 1957, the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Bombay finally published a photostat edition of the notebooks, but no editing was undertaken. In 1977, Berndt began the task of editing Ramanujans notebooks: proofs are provided to theorems not yet proven in previous literature, and many results are so startling as to be unique.

This volume reflects the contributions stemming from the conference Analytic and Combinatorial Number Theory: The Legacy of Ramanujan which took place at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on June 6-9, 2019. The conference included 26 plenary talks, 71 contributed talks, and 170 participants. As was the case for the conference, this book is in honor of Bruce C Berndt and in celebration of his mathematics and his 80th birthday.Along with a number of papers previously appearing in Special Issues of the International Journal of Number Theory, the book collects together a few more papers, a biography of Bruce by Atul Dixit and Ae Ja Yee, a preface by George Andrews, a gallery of photos from the conference, a number of speeches from the conference banquet, the conference poster, a list of Bruce's publications at the time this volume was created, and a list of the talks from the conference.

Theta functions were studied extensively by Ramanujan. This book provides a systematic development of Ramanujan’s results and extends them to a general theory. The author’s treatment of the subject is comprehensive, providing a detailed study of theta functions and modular forms for levels up to 12. Aimed at advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers, the organization, user-friendly presentation, and rich source of examples, lends this book to serve as a useful reference, a pedagogical tool, and a stimulus for further research. Topics, especially those discussed in the second half of the book, have been the subject of much recent research; many of which are appearing in book form for the first time. Further results are summarized in the numerous exercises at the end of each chapter.

This volume contains the proceedings of an international conference to commemorate the 125th anniversary of Ramanujan's birth, held from November 5-7, 2012, at the University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida. Srinivasa Ramanujan was India's most famous mathematician. This volume contains research and survey papers describing recent and current developments in the areas of mathematics influenced by Ramanujan. The topics covered include modular forms, mock theta functions and harmonic Maass forms, continued fractions, partition inequalities, -series, representations of affine Lie algebras and partition identities, highly composite numbers, analytic number theory and quadratic forms.
