"The Man Who Knew Infinity" is a 2015 biographical drama film directed by Matt Brown, which chronicles the life of Srinivasa Ramanujan, an Indian mathematician who made groundbreaking contributions to number theory, elliptic curves, and infinite series. The film stars Jeremy Irons as Professor James Hardie, a British mathematician who mentors Ramanujan, and Dev Patel as the protagonist himself.
